Good vid. It's gOod fun isn't it! Probably one of the few trail centre tracks smooth enough to really enjoy on a fully rigid bike.

Nice Vid. I was down the FOD yesterday with a few mates and rode the vederers a couple of times. The final descent was ace as were some of the early descents at the start of the trail. Cant wait to get back down there. Also rode the Freeminers trail. Was good but not as flowy for me although some of the berms were brill

Nice smooth footage. How is your camera mounted? And what's that pillow thing on your bars?

Very jealous looks great fun and a Good vid, I wanted to say most of the way through "where's the mud?!" but then there was a little at the end. We are knee deep in the stuff (in Devon) and I only remember rain yesterday in Bath/Bristol whilst on family visits.
Clearly a FoD visit needed.

I do enjoy that last trail section of Verds. The whole section on your vid is most prob the best parts. Very flowy in places.

The freeminers is pretty decent.

Went on the dh tracks on my ht last year and had a blast. Psyched to take my dh bike ther when I get some new forks.

Who's? If it is mine you mean it's because the front is 29" and the rear 26" with a skinny tyre

Who was out there(here) yesterday on something brown with what might have been brown USD forks and either a hub or SS gear? Yellow and black jacket last seen heading for the Mireystock by the big tunnel.

Coincidentally I was on something brown with a ss hub. Also coincidentally it had a 29"front/26"rear. That's as far as the coincidences go though 8)

Always makes me smile that the 3 signs on the cyclepath with Mireystock on them are all spelt differently!
