north shore (mountain biking)

Post by Scotty C » Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:03 pm

Some of you will know (back in the late 80's early 90's) I used to race mountain bikes.

I never used to do anything like this but then again our bikes would have just snapped in half (they often did anyway).

No wonder i gave it up? Totally mad :shock:

Mad men :shock: 8)

Ridden a few hard courses but nothing quite like that :roll:

Some of my favorites :arrow:

Pleney down hill
MASSIVE braking braking bumps and pretty steep, the part where the scream comes in the song and the small gathering give you some idea :twisted:

Fort Bill
My favorite, so fast and rough 8) :twisted:

Shed jump-Let Gets
A nice little tester, easy once you do it once but that first time looking of the jump straight at the sky :shock: :lol:

A few more good vids on mtbvideos :wink:

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:

8) Loving that!

I have a DVD called ROAM, which had some very extreme cycling stuff. Well worth watching. :wink:

I did some racing in the states back in 1992. I did a couple of the world cup events. Vail & Durango. If your going to go to the states you must do Moab (slick rock) It’s a magical place.

I also raced at the world championship in 1991 (Italy). Back then only 6 people were selected to represent each country and additional 50 people total could pre qualify. I finished 33 and made the final. I have some great photo's of me mis-landing a 20ft drop off (I even made Mountain Bike Action) doing a full somersault and landing on my head. (I have not been the same since).

I will try and look out some old photo's and post them up.
