Yeah sorry about the nasty slasher pic. Most people know it's dangerous to ride Aston Hill without adequate armour but unfortunately there are still a large bunch of Whistler Slopestyle wannabes who think a tee shirt constitutes armour!!!!

The biggest problem really is the associated cost. We have forked out nearly £170.00 on first aid kit alone in the last few months. Add on petrol used to ferry people to the local A&E and the cost of now having to get official first aid training and the problem extends way beyond cuts and grazes. All this lost revenue should be going into the trails.

Ultimately we want people to ride safe and come back. Greater number of regular riders the better the club.

On to more important things - The Bombhole challenge - we might need a couple of extra bodies to help out on the day with timekeeping, squeezing in the cars etc. Anyone able to help (you will still be able to "race") please email me at news@rideastonhill.co.uk

Cheers Guys and Gals

The first thing we don't want to do is "police it" which is why we have not resorted to setting strict rules (other than NO Helmet NO ride). Additionally we have tried to create an opportunity for riders to get hold of armour at a reduced rate. Ultimately the decision rests with each rider.

Those like yourself who have not worn armour for three years are more often or not accustomed to the conditions at Aston Hill, and know the track and personal limits. Unfortunately the newbies who turn up and see non armoured riders can be led into thinking its a totally safe environment and its those riders we really need to ensure the safety of.

If you crash its your own fault

Would be good to see you down at the Bombhole Challenge and see what colour you resprayed the Cotic. You will of course be wearing knee, elbow, spine protection as well as full face and neck collar!!!
