Thats Haullin.

You've turned in to a speed demon there Ben Last time I timed myself I was about 8 minutes, but that was going the old way

The old way is riding very nicel as well at the moment.

Vid contest entry?

We have just come back from shuttling 491/Spoonhill and I also rode it a couple of times the other day. Really loving the tracks at the moment, I can agree that they are very fast. 491 is mint as and super fast.

Definitely my favourite tracks to ride at the moment

I rode B-Line for the first time the other day - I like

Don't know if anyone else has ever timed themselves down there - I put the watch on for kicks yesterday and recorded 4:40 from the pylon to the corner of the fence in the playgrround. I've no doubt there are people waaaaaaay faster than that - but bugger me I felt like I was flying.

I love summer riding

491 is super fast at the moment, I'm loving it too

I'll make sure to time myself next run I do and report back!!

whats with all the white "H"s on the ground on labryth??????

I'd guess the Harriers have been/are about to be running up there.

Have you been on a Dodzy/Gabby skills type course recently??

I'd recommend one, definitely helped my riding

Negative - but I feel one is on my to-do list.
I'd love to figure out how to transfer these mad skillz to any conditions other than bone dry!!!
The sight of a slightly wet root* generally petrifies me



*hur hur

Yep. The concepts they teach are very applicable to transferring those mad skills to slippery surfaces, and whats more it gives you some tools to figure out why your riding is working or not. The Phundamentals course teaches the core concepts, and if you are a reasonably advanced rider is probably the one course of theirs that you should do. (beginners should start there and then move through the trail master series if they need other trail type skills).

I would think you would cut your current time down that track by a wack if you apply the skills taught in the course! I found I was getting down the tracks I regularly ride much quicker, and with plenty of control using their concepts!
