Spent a lot of time doing research on riders that were featured in some of the first magazine issues… Looked into the recent news story about Missy Giove ‘escaping’ prison sentence – pretty nuts! The guys showing off their new promotional guff from DMR Steve Jones after a tester on [...]
The day started off with my form tutor popping in for a quick visit.. Went well, I don’t think she expects any bad reports from my work experience! Although the messy office was probably noted down – i better get cracking on with the organisation around here! Burgled office! Dad [...]
After a long morning in the office, a well earned coffee was needed.. Or a herbal tea in Billy’s case! A game of ‘What’s in the bag?’ took place in Cafe Nero, after Chief Rose strolled in with his ingredients for a new recipe for porridge in his classic Waitrose [...]
Hi I’m Beth Jones, i’m 16 at Monmouth Comprehensive School doing a blog throughout this week on my work experience here at the Dirt office. I’ll be doing various jobs, specifically making tea!
Bit late, real world stuff has got in my way, but if you are free and in the Tavistock area over the weekend then nip over to Gawton for the South West DH champs
Yes part 2 my race day. Think you all know the score on the www.nofussevents.co.ukDH Enduro on the Fort William world cup track, 6 hours to cram in a sprint start for your bike, ride uphill a few miles, chop in at the big wall-ride then bag as many runs [...]
Saturday July 23rd is the 4th www.nofussevents.co.uk Downhill Enduro on the Fort William world cup track. And as ever i have signed up for it again. Maybe it wont rain this year. Anyway, after doing there MacAvalanche a few months ago i have changed a few things round to suit [...]
Yes the www.nofussevents.co.uk MacAvalanche is nearly here. I tweeked my mountain racer today and under cover of the royal wedding i will run to Scotland (midge net..must find the midge net first !) I reckon the best way to test anything out is to race it, my first race back [...]
Iain “Ace” Woodley from HTN blogged up some extra bonus material from the CoreBike Show. You might have seen some bits already but Ace has found some other bits and bobs too. Where to begin, I could spend two days there taking snaps, there is just too much shiny stuff [...]
UPDATE: We got more snow now… Mother nature has delivered us a few flakes of the white stuff so I thought it’d be good to get a gallery of snowy photos up from around the country/world. You got snow? Send your white fluffy photos to Billy 4X action in the [...]
Had a box of goodies turn up from Dmr for the HT Champs, which of course was very nice of Damian to send us ! thank you very much, but then Dmr have a rich history in the world of hardtails and have done rather well at the champs too. Nathan [...]
So there we are, we have the venue, we now have some prizes, we need some racers now ! On my way up to Grimsby i made a big detour to vist www.ridinghighuk.com this was handy as a big lorry full of stuff was also going there. In return for prizes i [...]
Oh yes, back again, late season this year, down at Gawton on the Super-Tavi track, aka the dirt 1.04 on Sunday 12th September 2010. So the deal then, Hardtail is not a proper race class here in the UK, officially we dont exist, there is no BC/UCI Hardtail race class, [...]
Just as we were about to leave the office for the day and we get this, the all–new intense M9 EVO. It has been in development for the last two years and now here it finally is, Intense’s new flagship DH bike…read it and weep. Moderator’s Note: Guys, we’ve had [...]
Just got back from the Fort William DH enduro, and very late last night or was it early this morning Frazer from www.nofussevents.co.uk sprung this beauty on us. The rough deal then. No fuss events and Glencoe mountain have got together and come up with this. The MacAvalanche, aimed for [...]
Weeks don’t come more eventful than this one (for me anyway). Through relentlessly harassing Mike, I managed to blag a week of dream work experience. So, what happened? Well first day, I got my popularity up instantly by bringing in one of my mum’s famous coffee/chocolate cakes, and it dropped [...]
A race report by Jake The Tea Boy. MIJ Events Rd2, Taff Buggy Race Report. I think firstly I need to apologise for the lack of my photography in this report, which was mainly because the weekend was so much fun, the camera didn’t leave it’s bag… An early start [...]
What ho downhillers, i think i may have cabin fever and due to the fact that north lincs is flatter than holland i have mostly been riding other bikes. The side effect of riding 6 miles to town across the fields is i will get fitter, that in turn will [...]
How does this relate to bikes then ? how do you get to your races ? you drive in your cars and vans, this is a shameless plug for the AA as they bailed me out big time and i am really really happy that i joined years ago, and [...]
Kustom Bikes winter series Rd 3 Coombe Syd country park (between Taunton/Williton in Somerset) Words and Pics:Ace Woodley Well racing in snow ! new one for me, never done that before, made things more interesting. So Coombe Syd, an old NPS venue last used for that back in 2004, not up [...]
First proper race of the year and things are a tad extreme ! Ben Deakin attacking the track thats hiding under the several inchs of snow, at Coombe Syd country park for the Kustom Bikes winter series. Well as you can see things are under fluffy white snow, a thin [...]
