So when the tyres hit the dirt, what
will your biking actually say about you
...?
Good news is currants are changing and
swinging back in favour for the average
trail rider. The bottom line in bicycle
sales has told the manufactures that X/C
& D/H racing are a very small market.
But while their world of podiums and
full on extreme mental case videos bares
little resemblance to your world,
they're still a great breeding platform
for new and exciting MTB technology. |

|
A:
Wash-board flat, a well honed 6 pack of
muscle, only enlarged when cardo loading. |
|
B:
Slightly wobbly muscle, but helps on the
downhill runs, the law of gravity has
nothing to do with it. |

C:
Round, wobbly, white and pasty full. You
need to spend more time on the bike, don't
you. |

best part of the trail, especially if you go
up and down twice while you wait for the
others. |

B:
Never short ones, but always bloody long
drags. |

Great on your bike when you've just stopped

|
|
A:
Terrifying and I usually get off and walk,
stubble and slip down. |

apart of the trail 'man'. |

|
A: The
bit between eating and riding. |
|

bit between replacing blown shox's and bent
bits, after one too many jumps. |
|
C:
Monthly cheques you send to the ex, before
she was the ex and you spent it on cool
stuff. |

D:
Dripping old chip fat on a squeaking bit of
the bicycle before you go off on a trail. |
|
YOUR IDEAL RIDING LOCATION IS: |

pre-season training camp some where in
Spain. |
|
B: The
Swiss Alps, French Alps or anywhere were
there are ski lifts and full on downhill
descents. |
|

Durango, Colorado darling, it's just so in!
easy to get to just fly Club Class 'don't
you know'. |
|
D:
Anywhere with good trails and a decent cafe
serving bacon babs, pint mugs of tea and
cakes. |

breath, biking. |
