Misty Lines in the Dark Forest
Not letting the constant rain get us down we headed to a deep forest full of slow steep lines riding into the mist!

Ohhhh mate!
Loose stone is not good, its can either feel nice or just wash you out! hhahahahah
Things happen I hope you are all good!
This section where my buddy went down was steep and because it was rainy and very wet.
He is from California like me and is not use to riding in dark forest where you can't see, ahhahah
But, he did really good!
RideOn buddy!

I agree he did do good, its hard to get used to different terrain. Me and the guys are so used to the soft soil and rocks that make up most of the riding in our valley that when we go to the pump/bmx tracks in Cardiff, its concrete berms with hardpack and gravel rollers, table tops etc. Our riding becomes rubbish because were all not use to the surface, it feels alien and skitish! Hahahaha We enjoy it though, its all good fun!
(Cardiff is the capitol city in Wales. Its also our nearest city to get too, but when i say near i mean 30 miles ish Hahaha)

Yes, Im the same way!
I ride this wet muddy leafy terrain all year round.
So, when I went to a ski resort for the first time it shocked me!
The bike park trails in a sense are too easy, but the speeeeeed is insane with a proper berm in every corner.
So, they are not too easy, its hard riding that but for most people the wet loose steep stuff we ride is more difficult. Kind of funny!
Riding these kind of trails Im not so good at the high speed open wide trails.hahahahh

Neither am i Hahahaha. Your right its ironic to think most people are used to the other surfaces...... that sad its the same when people ride a disapline their not used to. A friend of mine is a dirt jumper and thats all he does, he asked me to help him broaden his skills one day, and said he would like to try somthing else. So i took him to out for a few hours to do some short DH runs on my Mythic.
At the top of the track he looked down and said "Oh dear, we have come all this was to find that the track is broken..... look you can see the exposed rock and roots and someone has removed all the berms!"

This was my buddy who lives in Cali.
His wife is from the town we live in and they are back for 2 weeks.
So, we had to squeeze in a day for riding!
I always have 2-3 bikes up and running so of course, come on over!

Got those classic Niko vibes! If all goes to plan I will be there Dec 27th- Jan 15th.. Could you squeeze me in for a couple days Niko?.. Come on Jan, lets make it a 3some!

From the 27 and 15, Oh Yessssss!
I will have about 2 weeks off of work around that time.
Its cold but we can ride like little frozen monkeys!
hahhahahahh Yes, Jan we boys always like a 3 some!
That would be wicked if we could all 3 ride together!
I know one of you will in Shikoku and the other in Nagoya so, the commute to me is just a little difficult.
But, if you do venture this way I will have rooms for you stay at and good food to much on while we thrash our bodies riding some fun trails!
RideOn!

Well, beings everyone is coming this way, Im game!
I will be ready to deliver!
Josh, I will off work from the 22nd to the 3rd.
Then the 9th and 10 saturday and sunday I will be free too.
Then the 11th I don't have work until 2pm so that weekend could be good!
I just know coming down this way is what makes things tough.
However we have plenty of time to get a schedule rolling!
Very Exciting!
I also have had my front wheel wash out this week..... but it was not on a wet root tho. I was testing put a new trail that some local guys had build in the next valley and my maxxis holly rollers tires decided they didn't like the dusty loose stone chippings that were on top of the tight non-bermed corner before a 4meter high 40deg roll in. So down i went! Hahaha
