Also my current bike is a 2005 Specialized Rockhopper, which is totally XC biased. Its currently got some easton risers, a shorter stem and some flat pedals on it, but it doesnt jump well, drops its chain over the rough stuff (or if i dont land a jump perfectly smoothly) and has a truly attrocious fork that inspires no confidence whatsoever! So basically i'm wimping out  but I will make it to Chicksands to ride soon, just not to race this time around. I'm also about to build a more 4x oriented bike, and then i'll have no excuses  go on, give it a go, ive done rounds one and two on a cove hustler xc rig, im no way near the fastest or gonna win anything but i give it a go cos i really enjoy it, everyone is really friendly and great fun to be around, chicky is a great track too, why not give it a go to see if you like it before you buy/build a 4x rig, thats the reason im doing it on my cove, thought i'd better check i like it before i spent good money,and guess what, next year im hoping to be back on a 4x orientated bike because im having a real good time out there |

yeah chicky will be awesome! doseage we will have to shout sandbagger at someone else as paul isnt going. :'(
i wouldn't really class paul as a sandbagger (no offence) that guy that was beating him on one of his motos at round one,that was a real bag of sand dude that guy had the track dialed doing the triple aswell i mean come on!! i am by FAR no sandbagger im still tryin to get my confidence back  lol cheers paul It always does seem like a bit of a copout people in the novices completely nailing the triple... doesnt seem to novice to me  hence why i cased it in every moto! |

So if I come down to the 1st round, on a new bike, just back from injury to have a go at racing 4x for the first time at a track i've been to once, and do the triple as I did last time I rode there....
Am I gonna get a load of angry riders being, well, angry with me for being in Novice? I was thinking about popping down to see what this 4x lark is all about, but im not up for people getting pi**ed off at me.
Rootes
Lol I wouldn't go that far mate, but u can tell from a mile off the people who've ridden the track loads of times and are clearing the triple like it's childs play and who clearly should've moved up a long time ago! Sod it, give it a go mate, it's a good laugh whatever happens, and if u can clear the triple u've kicked my arse already!! no matter how fast I seem to go I can never quite make the bloody thing!!  |
