A fully stacked venue with many downhill teams, mountain bike riders and mountain be support teams. Thw trail was fully cordoned off using yellow tape, till the Saturday when practice started over 300 people trialled from teenage mountain bikers to middle aged mountain bikers. The track itself was quite a technical route with one 5 ft dropoff onto muddy terrain, the perfect mountain bike downhill trail.
There was a range of up and coming & well known Downhill teams, such as the likes of Team CHR, Moon Glu and one downhiller who we met Stuart Jenkinson, all the guys were very hospitable and happy to chat about their mountain biking careers. as well as local racing teams their were Santa Cruz and Orange teams.
Managed to speak to many great mountain bikers over the weekend and get some much needed tips and advice, even in inspiration from a guy we met while watching the Downhill practices, he was 36 years old and only started his downhill career last year since then had a few drops but always recovered and carried on his mountain biking, his bike of choice was an Orange 224.
