DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Dom's holiday video

Apparently Dom's one wheel evening (sorry to bring it up again Dom) was just a practice session. Take a look at this, he's not bad...

Re: Dom's holiday video

He's not bad but it made me shout "Get away from the edge of the cliff, you maniac!!"

Surely Dom could easily replicate these moves if he should forget that front wheel again.

Come to think of it, was that this year or last?

I'm assuming it doesn't take him long to count his testicles of an evening? "Start from zero and count up, Kris". "OK, finished"

Re: Dom's holiday video

i have a spare wheel or two now if they are required
