went up shipley glen yesterday and some of the riding was amazing, hermance is shockingly good and his balance is amazing. he made a fairly large gap (think 9 foot wide and 4 foot drop) with such a bad take off it was untrue and about a 30 foot drop down a cliff below without even standing to look at it first. i got shit scared just looking at it! also his run ups are so short!

comas and canas make everything look so easy. really shocking to see some of the riding and the control they have is amazing. sidehops are huge and so controlled.

savage was looking proper good as well hopefully he should ride well on sunday.

there was loads of other spanish and japanese/chinese riders who where looking good.

it was strange for me seeing so many good riders and half of them i didnt even know who they were but they were f**kin good.

even ot pi was there watching (N)

can't wait now

You wont know half of them, but the funny thing is if you go Japan for the last round all these mad good Japanese riders suddenly come out of the woodwork an rip! But only a few can afford to go to all the rounds, so the others dont get placed very high!

Ohhh shite, i left at 3:30 cos i needed to get to work and then the big guns arrive at like 4-5?

haha, talk about bad timing, and i gotta work on Sunday.

Oh well, hopefully there will be lots of footage.

Also, good effort to those that have got this whole thing organised, To me it's like the trials equvilant to the Olympic Bid. (N)

The glen is easy to find when you know where it is you should have phoned me (N)

As for them directions im the other side of skipton and coming from keighley way. I know where silsden/addingham is im just wondering if its easy to find. Is it right off the bypass roundabout up towards addingham?

Sounds awesome , and can only be good for the public perception of our sport . Can't make it , as I live in Holland , but I'll be rooting for the U.K riders . There's few other sports where the pros are so accessible , being able to ride with Hermance (N) . Have fun , guys and girls .

Absolutely mint event, i have just uploaded a few piccys in the gallery (link above). I have many more, but some are too large to be uploaded and i cant be bothered to make them smaller, it will spoil the quality...

Vincent and benito were amazing as usual, slinger didnt seem to be riding as good as he normally does though.
