So…. when did this come in then?

Have you a link?

Even so – the trails there are awesome. I know the top stuff to the left of Argentiere/Vallorcine is now national park so unrideable (except sneaky early/late season), havent been since last summer, was all ok then, so would be interested to see which ones are now on the ban list. :cry:

Dude……. there are bikes there…… youll be right at home !!! :lol:

Oops – you know that was the "kiss of death" right???

Yep……………me too……???

Dont get lost tomorrow though mate… :lol:

Tried GT85?

Seriously – it does work!

:lol:

See you there Lucky ! :lol:

You could buy the comfiest saddle available to man…….. but if youre not used to sitting on it – its no good!!!!!!!!!!

Spend your money on a good pair of padded shorts (like Endura's @£20) and get out and ride!

Start off with short rides and gradually eeeek them out to the desired distance!

Yeh….Mayday Meadow is good – used to be better before all the felling. Start of the "Beast" in the LH corner.

Happy memories of racing there 8-10 years ago…..

pmsl………..eh?

You may have seen this one – all the tricks in the book…..minus the bike.

"doug, we come from a lycra wearing sport. we own looking silly!"

Like it……. :lol:

This good too – watch for the tailwhip backflip pure nuts!!

"big ramps are easier to learn on"

Mmmmmmmm……. thats not what my head tells me – but i respect your experience.

Seriously considering it though – cant stay off Bens BMX, need to get one of my own – ace fun.

BH – yeah….huge ramps there – start on something smaller right where i live!

Never know – might book some coaching!

Very nice…… :lol:

Makes me want to go & buy a BMX…..

Maybe in the summer!

Genisis – nope….it just 'fell' in there whilst i was packing the car ! LOL :lol:

As for thefts – usual rules apply – dont leave it where you cant see it. The chalets have a large cupboard inside the lobby so you can store it safely inside the building.

Have fun!

Bump….

Keep an eye on the auction sites.

Good luck.

Ace – see you there.

Cool – will see you there then.

Not staying over though – need to open Monday.

Ok……Could do with being a bit busier!!

See you at Core?…..

Been there a few times – with the bike tucked away in the back of the car, he he. Would go out early in the AM to ride – never found anything good on site but if you go out the main gate, turn left, cycle about half to a mile there is an abundance of good trails both left and right side of the road.

Happy riding!

Seconded for http://www.ukbikeskills.co.uk

He does travel – not sure how far but well worth giving a call.

Great teacher – great rider – very passionate about cycling.

and it is the responsibility of the rider/skier upslope to take evasive action where nessecary

Those are the rules!

Looks like there was plenty of space for evasive manouvers to me.

Go with the flow – what you cant see cant kill you.

Far too many people let their heads mess with their ability (mee for one)

£15 quid to true the wheel – around a quid for each spoke.

Quite alot involved in it – tyre/tube/rim tape/freehub/cassette/…..

Dont forget – spokes come in a box of 72 or 100 !!! :roll:

Crank Bros 19

Topeak Alien

Birzman Feexman 17 (or if youre flush – the 10 which is carbon)

Impressive, but…….

….Try getting it done that quick in the summer!

Had a few along the way…..

Cove Hummer now….. only one ill ever need !!

Why didnt they start making them in 1985? :D

Jedi…..LOL :D

Think about it…. not all people are apt at mechanics – and not all can cut straight !

Without doubt……… HUMMER !

Amazing ride….love it.

Looks like a bargin !!!

Got a similar one 3 years ago out of season from Millets for £100.

Tony – go for the dirtworker – i have one of the gardena pump sprayers in the shop and it doesnt deliver enough power. Its ok on the light deposits but no good for the heavy cruddy clay we have round here.

I usually end up at the local jet wash – £2 ….. job done. :D

I have a PV camera & recorder – great quality – lots of faffing with wires though.

Captain :D

Very true – the qualification is just the start – the experience is what really matters and thet takes lots of practice and time to achieve. I'm cytech qualified and work all day long on bikes but my experience is limited compared to most on here. Every day i learn something new to put a tick in the 'book'.

Honesty and attention to detail is my USP! :D

Mind you – does help if the pupil has an ounce or two of common sense and some mechanical ability! LOL

Olly – Have you met/worked with Pete?

He is brilliant – has been in the business for ever and a day and really knows his stuff!!

As far as accreditation works – he is the only guy with the right to train outside of the ATG – under liceince if you like.

Flatfish – Absolutly YES……WEAR A HELMET at all times !!!!!!

We all remember the incident with Liam Neesons mrs last year!!!

As for armour – whatever youre comfortable with, backpacks are ok on/off piste but reccomend protection in the park or rocky drops.

As for the video – the rules of the slope are that you must be able to control your direction and speed and it is the responsibility of the rider/skier upslope to take evasive action where nessecary.

I board alot and you really do see some stupidity on the slopes, a little bit of thought ahead of time really could save a life.
