i use to mess about with mates round the local trails but thats about it

i do a lot of trail riding but my bikes too heavy for it really, its meant for throwing down a hill lol the reason im asking is because im interested in competing and wondered if anyone had any experiance. dont think my fitness is up to scratch yet though lol

Downhill biking? Isnt that an oxymoron

here are some oxymorons:

military intelligence

live recording

small crowd

dry wine

plastic glasses

[conad]

ahhh, thanks for that. but still....:tard:

[mowgli]

Conad, the trouble is that most of us live in areas without any decent country trails with decent hills to race down.....

I used to do a bit of trail riding, bought a nirve htx last year mostly as its ideal for off roading and a low enough frame for a bit of trials as well. Don't use it that often though. Your bikes cool conad, kona ftw, although it probably will cost more than a decent nova will pmsl

[Tim-SR]

a few of my mates ride. one has a SXT i think its called?

i took them to chicksands in bedfordshire, it was a good day out! i dont even ride and i was entertained i had a go and didnt even fall off! lol

you ever been?

[SR-Rally]

yeah i use do it alot, haven't for couple months. i've got a santacruz vp3, marc boumonts old one its a real good spec machine :D if i was you i'd def start competing as pushes you to go faster. and so easy no1 usually cares where you come etc.

Sort of. Its a statement that contradicts itself - the example of "military intelligence" is an oxymoron as the military is renowned for its general stupidity.

Anyway, downhill biking is crap, only the fatties do that lol
