NDH Trailbike DH Hamsterley

[jonny lowe]

Hi all,

Any body know anything about the NDH Trailbike DH to be held at hamsterley in may?

Just wondering if anybody knows which trail it's being run on and if there's any chance you can ride a trail bike down descend hamsterley to get some practice in? wouldn't mind a crack at it.

I wouldn't mind a blast on the descend but not sure if my bike would handle it

I've ridden a couple of the DH tracks at Descend on my 100mm travel FSR-XC (OK, slowly and rather craply) but they are do-able.

Looking at the track description on the NDH website they may not be using the DH tracks - scroll to the bottom:

But then again, they might be.

yeah was thinking the same. been thinking of doing the 1-2-1 but would like a go on the downhill to see if i could handle it, more than my bike.

[jonny lowe]

yeah just read that says that it will be easier than a downhill trail so may be doing it on parts of the black.

definately fancy it like.
