Portes Du Soleil 09 – Chatel “Fluid” from Antony Bailey on Vimeo.

The “Fluid” track (top section missing) from the famous Chatel Burger Bar to the lift at the bottom by the pump track. One of the sections in the Chatel Freeride Park.

Not ridden with very much ‘fluidity’ I hasten to add.

I can’t read this, but the trail pics look great!

KBP SÄLEN 2009-07-20

Halloj! här kommer några bilder på Svarta änkan. det regnade lite så de är kanske lite grå.

Vildvinet kommer vara avstängt idag för underhåll och upptorkning efter det hårda regnet igår.

Solen kommer snart.

Efter ett parti från toppen som är mer som rött och går bredvid Ormtungans singeltrack så kommer man ner här på krönet under stolen där det viker av åt vänster och ner på ett skråparti.

DSC03358 Klappen trail building

Efter skråpartiet så kommer man till det brantaste partiet på leden. Här var vi tvugna att bygga lite hjälpmedel för att ta sig förbi men det är fortfarande väldigt brant! Och ja det sitter nät på sidorna nu, Jens gjorde det mesta igår och jag slutförde nu på morgonen.

Nerifrån.

Efter “bryggorna” så blir det lite skråparti innan det svänger ner mot snowparken.

DSC03372 Klappen trail building

Så här ser det ut. efter detta blir det några svängar.

Och kommer ut här. Här svänger det sedan vänster och följer skogskanten ner mot Lämmeln och stolbanan.

Partiet bredvid snowparken kallar banbyggarna för rockgarden, varför? ja det får ni se när ni kommer hit.

Ja just det efter snowparken kommer två stora hopp byggas. ett på 15m gap och ett stepup med två kickar.

Our first Afan MTB trip video

June 30 2009 No Commented

Afan MTB Trip June ’09 from Antony Bailey on Vimeo.

Ant & Mike of TamedEarth.com on our first trip to the MTB centres in the South Wales Afan Forest Park.

Two trails – “The Wall” and “Whites Level”. We only filmed the down as each had a greulling 500 meter plus climb at the beginning.

The camera batteries ran out only a third of the way down on day two at White’s… a real shame!

Next time.

Gawton open day video

April 30 2009 No Commented

The Woodland Riders is a Downhill only mountain bike club based near Tavistock in the South West of Devon.
The Club was formed in 2005 as a way to raise the money needed to pay the landowner the rent, which would allow us to legally ride in the area.

The money raised from the membership fees also goes towards insurance and affiliation with the British Cycling Federation.

On the 11th April Gawton Woods was finally opened, this is a video documenting the events of that day…
