Luckily I was working in Westbury on the 8th and had the Friday off so I took the milk float with me and booked some digs so it worked out perfect ?

Had my first trip to Wind Hill bike park last Friday, such a fun place and so well laid out. Took a peek at the jumps on the Pro Line and decided against it.....for now (like never!) Anyone out there hitting these jumps on their Milk Floats?

Thanks for that? Enjoy and I hope the weather is with you. The first 2 clips are down a couple of the easy DH runs into 'Launchpad', the rest is on the 7 mile Verderers trail. The bottom section of this is good - the last half of the Verds is where Motorhead kicks in. Off to Wind Hill on Friday...

If we all just wore a hiviz vest we would be bulletproof, no need for anything else! ????

Oi, back off with the neg comments about Elf n Safety! I'm. Health & Safety Manager (Serious) but I know what you mean, a lot of us are not 'Fun sponges' but do want to mitigate risk. See my other post about what happened to me....?

True but given what we do with these bikes (inc acoustics), well, you pay your money you take your chances. End of May this year, Black Mountain Cycle Centre, on my acoustic, fully kitted up, (pads, body armour) no camera. Had a bit of an off, managed to drive an hour home. Decided to call an...

No worries Kernow sir ? If I planted it would fold back but due to the size, wouldn't go near my face, if it did, I think I'd have bigger things to sorry about. Besides, it more than likely snap the plastic attachment(s) or break the cable ties.

Some people are unreal. I used to do the Long Mynd Hike, 50 mile loop in Shropshire. Its on the ultra fell running calendar. Starts at 1pm on the Saturday of the event and by 7.30 onwards, you just know some people are crossing the finish at church stretton school. My best time was 18 bleedin...

I'll keep my mouth shut well tight re the 3% post *cough* ? I'll look into the one you mentioned but its just that I have Wales on my doorstep and the multi day ride opportunities are HUUUGE! Off up to Dolgellau for a week early Dec, gona do some long day rides then off the week after..... Mid...

Hmmm, sounds good on paper but the route ain't all flat and gentle climbs and avg speeds don't mean nothing on this. Can't see the point in attempting to have a go at doing it in a one'er, you miss the scenery, that's what its all about, take the time, enjoy what mid Wales has to offer, its...

Well, good luck with that, I'll keep a look out for this happening ?

After seeing the vid Rob Hancill put up about this I decided to make my own. The gopro H7 Black's stabilisation coupled with our natural gimbal (The head), it seemed a no brainer. Did a few runs to get the angle right and it works a treat. A few quid spent at B&Q, duck tape, a tripod adptor off...

No need for battery drops, chuck a spare in your rucky and charge the one you use at the B&Bs. Planning this was a big part of the excitement. Have you seen all the info I put up in General EMTB Forum's? It's all downloadable ?
