Hey Col, the drops on your vid look at bit scary, not sure id take many risks with that so close.
Id love a crosser, had a DT road bike that was ok on the fields etc.
If i sell the lamby in the future, im defo getting one.

Hey guys, thanks for all the info. Think I'll go and have a play on that track at Hampton-in-Arden to practice some climbs, descents, slow balance, etc.

Speedplay - I'd defo like to get out and do some green lanes in the new year, can we arrange something then? The £100 wasn't for use of a track, it was a days off-road training. What I was asking is if people thought is was worth it, or would I pick the same skills naturally again through practice?

Specialone - those drops weren't the worst, check out these ones, I pan sideways to let you see the view right at the end of the clip. Did I mention I had a camera in my left hand?

£100 is a lot of fuel when you go out to practice with a few friends

You seem quick enough to be able to watch and learn from people you ride with.

Save the money and we will sort out something after xmas.

Very cold and very wet but what a blast!

Ive got a vid of me following Marcus on his crf450x across one of the byways before the plain, surface water over the top of the whole track and when I look at the speedo its reading 49mph

Happy days.
