hey, i would like to try comps this year but i haven't been riding long but I can do all the basics; pedal hops, small side hops etc. i will more than likely be coming on my own as well. i ride a T-Rex singlespeed also is this a okay or will i have to put my gears back on to ride?

cheers

it's under a uci format so single speed is fine, what most run actually. Do the novie route and enjoy yourself! You should do just fine :)

hey ash, i believe there's gona be elite (yellow) and seeded elite (black)? Just how hard is the elite-size of rocks etc?? I'm not sure if i'll be up to it. I did biu worlds senior in 05 on 20" but had 06 off now back again but on the 26".

I think it better to start on the red route 26 expert class

Alright, How much is it to borrow a bike. Might consider it :)

Thanks

Sam.....

Hi there it is free to loan a bike but you have to pay to enter, but we will give a free day membership on the first time you ride, after that you will need to become a member you can ask to loan a bike for a number of times as long as there is not someone new wanting to try if you understand.

Been thinking about going to a comp for a while with a couple of mates from my home town.

I've been riding a year or 2, not a great rider but ok, got gaps to front and all that business. But anyway if you have never ridden a comp before can you just turn up and ride higher than novice runs or just go on the novice run?

What about paper work wise?

Do you have to be a member?

Cheers, hope you can help.

Loan Bikes are for the comp only sorry to say insurance and all that you understand

As for watching with your bikes that will be ok i think as lots of folk watch and some ride between sections, but you can not ride in the sections on the day, its a naterual venue so lots to ride on anyway.

Remember you can ride and your mate ride also in the comp on a loan bike this is the best way to have all the fun..

Hi Ashley, really glad you posted this, as im wanting to start YMSA this year. I have the form ready but it asks for a YMSA license number? do i just bring the form with me on the day followed by Membership fee? and when i get my license i just write it down and will this entitle me to enter comps throughout the year etc, or is there a fee everytime i want to enter the comp even with membership.

Also are riding specific riding shoes required, or can we just where our normal shoes lol.
