mintsauce Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sounds like a pretty sweet event, if I'm able I'll try and head up but I have no idea at the current moment in timeIs that the entire section?I'm glad the section ideas are inspiring people to come and ride (or was it the lure of the Saturday night party?!?).Please feel free to apply . Riders must be pre-registered, it is not possible to simply turn up on the day and ride (see initial post).That is only one section, there will be more besides! Gotta be careful with that seesaw, when you jump, it will rise under you so it might f**k your backhops up, or possibly even your gap.Yup, that's right. A pedalling gap or rolling bunny hop gap may be the way forward. Whatever method you choose, given that gapping off a see-saw will be a new technique to most, it'll require a wee bit of that old thing called courage. Especially given you'll be gapping at around 11 foot up.If anyone rode/attended the MAD run trials section of the NBS (National Bike Show) then the format with be similar to that:Throughout the event riders will have the opportunity to ride the sections and pick out bits that particularly inspire them or they feel most confident on. Then we will construct an rider appearance order, of increasing difficulty of proposed tricks/lines, and put on demos for the crowds.The idea is not that every rider will gap off the 11 foot high see-saw but rather one or two might do that as big tricks towards the end of the demo.There will be lines on the course for all abilities, which is why Wood Fest has opened this up to everyone through the proposed selection process (detailed in the first post).

middleageman Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Unreal!!! As I live under 10 miles away (Prestatyn) and work 1 mile down the road from the site (St. Asaph business park) and have never seen Trials performed in reality, you can guarantee I'll be there with my family cheering you on! I'm also hoping to maybe meet some TF members along the way. Good News indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Matt,The course looks really fun! I'm really sorry I'm not going to be able to make it- Abingdon DJ ride on Saturday and a Hampshire comp on Sunday just makes it impossible I'm afraid. I'm sure you'll have a wicked weekend though- I expect to see a video afterwards!Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
