Indoor Bike Battle


Recommended Posts

my uncle made it down from bradfor in 2 1/2 hours on friday night and that was driving through rush hour, i dunno how far from bradford you are but it shouldn't be much longer than that.

for pics you need to check out matt barlow's web site where there's 4 videos and 4 galleries of photos:

i dont have msn for the simple reason that i spend too long on the computer as it is and if i had msn i'd be on here even more...

i've no idea what CLS did at NASS because i've never been but if you track down the video 'ChrisAkriggFinalRound_DivX.avi' and watch that you'll get the idea.

basically every rider gets 90seconds to impress the judges and at the end of your run the judges will give you a score. they will be looking at your choice of line, technique, use of course and they will take into consideration the bike your on, your experience and how original you are. if out of the 30 comp riders 29 of them do huge uci stuff and then one comes along and does small street moves then guess who'll get the points for originality...

It sounds very cool Mate :P

You'll definatly be seeing me as i've booked it off work!

Can't wait for it and i'll have £40 for the weekend (food and b and b etc) will that be enough?

Stay over the friday and saturday nights?

Will help with the course putting up ness if you want (me and my mate rick).

Cheers buddy. Can't wait for it.

i really want to ride ogwen again so we talking

SATURDAY - indoor ride

SUNDAY - indoor thing and street ride

MONDAY - ogwen ride

And i also think that the indoor comp thing should start earlier. like 10.00am finishing around 1 or something for indoor ride and options to leave and come back.

if its sunny on the sunday i think us lot will be going to ogwen just in case its wet on the monday and we cant ride it (Y)

dunno if i've put this up already but the format of the comp on sunday will be:

comp entrants split into 3 groups of max 10 in each group. each group will be given a start time so they dont have to sit around all afternoon if they dont wana watch

once the comp is over the hall will be open riding for everyone if they want.

the comps not starting any earlier than 12 for those travelling down to it or those still to fooked from the previous day or night...

if anyone has any other questions etc then put a message up, i'm away in germany at the moment so can't really go into much more depth

see you there

i will come but i wont be entering the competition. this is because i know that the streety people will do soo much better. i think the judges would sooner see a manual than a big gap or back tire, bit biased if you ask me.

but ill deffo be there for the other 2 days :blink:

so you dont want to enter just cos you wont win? why? who cares if you win or night, not everyone can win can they? and im sure the judges would judge on your riding ability as much as style. i will try and go with my mate carl if he is up for it as we were gonna go last time but i had some problems and could'nt. im sure trialy punk would be up for it too (Y)

This won't happen, To score the most points you would have to show a wide range of skill and technical ability.

I will be a judge on the day, and everything will be fair, just because somebody manuals a 10ft beam etc won't mean they will win.

thats good to here (Y) obviously scoring should be how people use the course, do different lines, and use different parts of the course too.
