Whistler Bound
What do you take to a place like whister?
I realise this shot has been done before, by clay porter, in Dirt magazine a fair while ago.
I thought i would give it a go.
It involved sticking my video camera out of a top window of my house, precarously balanced using an old tripod, a pillow
and the 3rd harry potter book.
I then layed most stuff out, obviously i'm not taking 3 t-shirts ect. but it give you the idea.
All packing into the 3 bags at the top.
Bike
Wheels
Spare tyres
spares
Towel
Full Face helmet
Open face
Goggles
T-shirts
Jeans
Shorts
Jerseys
riding shorts
Shoes
Still camera 1xfilm 1xdigital
Video Camera 1xold 1xHD
Tripod
lots of batterys
Flash
Chargers, converters and plugs
Llangollen
So i posted the video, but with no realy information as to how the even went.
A really steep, loose, dust, and wild track, deffiantly appreciated by the riders.
Standing at the top gave an impressive view over the llangollen valley and into the town bellow. but also down to the pits and the finish, something you don't get much. You could hear the commentators all the way up the hill ( don't know if thats good or bad) and 90% of the track could be seen from the finish area!
It felt like you could jump at the top, and you would make it into the finish line.
Tom Puxley developed these new cranks for increased corner rail abilitys!
The most technical section, with lots of gnarly line choices. and lots of crash's
Pretty much the the whole track is very open, and surrounded by ferns!
Unknown Rider towards the bottom section of the track

Pump Track
Bernard calls me up and tells me to get round his house, and to bring a spade.
Its quite possible that bernard had killed one of his two brothers, and wanted help hinding the evidance.
Lucky enough, it was just to build a pump track.
Start with 15tonnes of earth spread it across your garden.
Get some Shape
Get some friends/brothers
Use these
And some child labour
Some strong french beer
add some lights and you end up with a sweet pump track, ready to ride 24h's a day!
