Ooh chicksands, cool, I'll be along to this one. Not racing - I'll be there to check out the pace and competition, and see whether I reckon I'm good enough to enter Novice next time around. Fingers crossed!

I'll try and get some photos too Smiley

the only way to find out is to ride, if you have a bike and can ride novice is made just for you to have a go.

Its all good fun and you can do gate practice on Saturday afternoon before the race to get use to it.

I have a bike, and can ride (and used to race DH, in Youth and Junior - well enough to not come last or be boo'd off the course) but i stopped riding for about 5 years after my DH rig was stolen. Since then i've lost some bottle and a whole load of confidence, and don't know if i'll be up to speed fully by Rd 3.

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 Wink 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 Smiley

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 Smiley

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.

I wouldn’t have thought so. If you then continued to race every round, won every moto and every final, and then did the same the following year THEN people may have reason to call you a sandbagger!

There’s a fine line. I mean, in my mind Novice is there for people to give it a go, and improve, then move on up when they’re fast enough (or not move on up if they never get fast enough). But that doesn’t mean that everyone in Novice has to totally suck. I mean, somebody has to win, right?

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!!  Angry
