Or is it going to be like magne traction edges and reverse camber snowboards. Bandwagon idea for a while until some people decide they prefer things the way they were and revert to original concept. Still too early to tell

Where is that FD ?

[fatdoc]

Totley mini pump track...

Go out of town... Turn left just before leaving sheff, after the gastro pub... Straight on 150m, in field on left. It's great!!

[Mark Lloyd]

as an aside what happened to the stuff that was getting built up nearer owler bar ?

[fatdoc]

No idea. Last I heard it was a planned to be a coaching / training facility....

[Palomides]

Nice vids FD.

I've just been a bit like this watching this one 

Matt Page's footage from Iron Bike (a somewhat mental 8 day stage race in Italy)

What the vid doesn't really show until the end is that Matt rode the whole race on a Pivot Les 29er hardtail - including the Fort.



Edit: comments and more links on STW here

Not really MTB (at all) but...



Read up on the back story too. Martyn Ashton has been a proper trials ledge since I was a kid. Hero.

I just finshed watching that and was about to post it. Brill.

I just found some nice pics of my son online, to tight to buy them so stuck with the watermark

10 things every mountain biker should have done.

I only get 6/10, maybe 7.

When they mean cross a mountain range, they mean something like the alps or pyranees, not the pennines 

[SA Chris]

I think using uplift at PdS doesn't count either!

Cairngorms? Not done it, but planning it.

[fatdoc]

6.

And I'm happy.

Fingers operational again, biking recommencing

[peewee]

Would the Passporte count for that or is using lifts cheating 

I'm 8 out of 10, riding to the sea and crossing a mountain range.

Doesn't count IMO, neither does shitty little UK mountain ranges like the Cairngorms 

[Norton Sharley]

7/10
Never built a bike frame up from new but have stripped back to frame and built back up.  Does that count?
Never slept in the same room as my bike (not that I remember but there’s a few things or people I can’t remember sleeping with)
Never raced cos’ it's not why I ride my bike.

FBSF - Glad to hear the fingers are fixed / fixing, let's do some riding then? 

[SA Chris]

I took the "sleep next to bike" as sleeping out somewhere, not in the same room. I've cycled in to bivvy to do climbing routes, but there's usually a long walk after bikes are abandoned.

There's a "making of" programme about Imaginate on Dave channel at the moment, worth watching, hopefully be repeated as I don't think the have online repeats.

heres a vid from antur stiniog on sunday. an awesome winter uplift as it rides really well even in the wet. first run is the black, which was pretty hard and a trek remedy, i feel second time down. the second with my mate following is the blue run, really flowy and good fun but the wind slowed it down a bit.

[SA Chris]

Quite funny

[fatdoc]

Loved that one.... Think I hit too many to be comfortable !!

This one is fun
