Track is going to be corkscrew, so who's going to be there Sunday?

Full face & gloves compulsory
And i would say where whatever you have armour wise

Will everyone have full DH bikes?

Most people will be on 200mm DH rigs, I will be on my 140mm HT ๐Ÿ™‚

Whatโ€™s a good time to arrive to get some practice in?

I will be getting there for 8.30 to start at 9

What CAT are you in ndthornton?

My 160mm Norco 6 should be ok then I would have thought

160mm will work well on corkscrew.

That was rediculously close. Great fun but need to practice disengaging my brain a bit more!

When is the next race -Id be up for more. Iv just signed up for 4 gravity enduros though which has put some strain on the credit card.
