Rode W2 for the 1st time in months last weekend. The wall descent was as good as ever, but White’s was very poor by comparison. I’m gonna head West or ride local natural trails until they get their act together over there. If you’re passing Afan to go to better trails in Brechfa, I’m now [...]

I think you’re right aj. but given the cost, it ain’t ever gonna happen “officially”. It’s a shame really, If the forestry sell off applied to Wales, we could have private ownership, but FC management as they do in Scotland. Then we’d be able to compete with the Scots trails on equal terms, but be [...]

As tyres are measured on the carcass size and not the tread block size, those measurements are as irrelevant as the quoted size for the tyre. They might as well just call them XC AM FR and DH versions of the respective tyre. but that would limit the tyre sales to specific uses and wouldn’t [...]

It sucks big time. I’ve also heard from a good source that the wall climb and Whites descent will close soon for selective felling that can only be for removal of infected trees. Why would they close 2 sections of the busiest trails otherwise? (unless this is an error) And I’ve seen the route for [...]

There’s been rumours of a big harvesting program there since last summer.
It’ll ruin the trails completely.

Trail closures rumoured.

Leaving skyline soon.

I’ve heard the April/May re-opening rumour too. If it’s true, that’ll probably mean it’ll actually open in September. They’re always optimistic with schedules for work on trails, and there are always delays. Usually due to red tape holding up release of funds to provide materials. Once they’re cleared, the trail pixies usually produce a fantastic [...]

That’ll work as long as you don’t have a Marzocchi post mount fork as they run a 180mm min up front.

My brother brke the radius and ulna in a freak accident on a MX bike in his teens. Doctors said it was a 1 in 1000 occurrence to see a fracture in both bones in the forearm. It was low speed too, his back brake failed, so he tried to limp it home on the [...]

That’s a shame.

Think I’ve damaged the cartiledge in my right knee from years of BMX and MTB dodgy landings to flat. And geting nailed by a tackle from a 17st prop and folding it over didn’t help. Waiting for my consultant’s appointment while it crunches away happliy and occasionaly locks up. My new doctor is fab though, [...]

Nice vids fella. i haven’t seen that part of Margam run in that direction before, but there might have been more trees last time I was there.

Yeah, rode in to Halfway with my son and Gez on Saturday. Found a superb location right where Hirvonen encountered some sheep. Helicopters spooked the sheep onto the stage just before loeb came through, but we managed to drive them away. The echoes of the cars drove them back onto the road though, nothing we [...]

Epynt way Rocks!

Loeb’s too good.

Petter came close.

when Hirvonen’s around.
