Checking into thread as same applies to me. I did a self powered day in Oct 13 (2 1/2 laps) on a HT, back on 10 June for an uplift on my newer 120mm boinger. It sounds like it's changed quite a bit. I really enjoyed the reds I did back then. I'm not hardcore so will probably skip the blacks.
I felt like only 29er on the hill back then, bet I will be again.
Thanks for the tips all, useful.
Further tips: don't **** yourself 5 minutes into the first run and spend the rest of the riding day in A&E having wound cleaned up. (I'm fine, nothing serious, but bloody annoying all the same). Also the BPW beers are very good, especially Badger Run.
Hey Mattjg! What run did you spanner yourself on? we were there on Friday and didn't hear/see any commotion?
PS (get well soon! ;-))
PPS - these days, there are MANY more trail bikes on the trailers than DH ones! Since Trail bikes got good, it seems the vast majority of peeps at BPW ride 'em. Lots of 29ers now too thanks to ENDURO etc
Thx Max, I'll be ok. It wasn't a super big deal, but did wipe out my weekend. Nasty gouge out of shin from pedal or brake lever contact, and a big slam on the hip that's now a bruise the size of Australia.
A couple of minutes into Terry's Belly. Yeah really can you believe it. Grrrrrrr. On a 29er too!
I wear those 661 padded liner shorts at BPW, they aren't going to save you, but they seem to work to reduce bruising etc from minor offs!
But hey, chicks dig scars eh! 😆

Not mine. In the doghouse again.
