Scotty Evil1 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Well...............................I have just got back from an amazing 10 days in spain, riding in nice sunny weather at some of the best spots in spain, with patt donovan.From saturday-friday we stayed at the hotel sabadell and rode the brilliant bike park there, which isnt as big as you think, but there are sooo many lines it seems huge!On sunday we were invited to the best factory ( one of my sponsors,www.best-bike.com) and the best "fun" day, where we attemped to ride downhill with oscar saiz!! Then at the weekend we rode a spanish championship round in torradembarra, which is a brilliant venue by the sea, with stupidly sharp rocks. 3 punctures during the day, 2 within doing 1 section! haha, but it was really well organised, and a lot of fun.I would just like to thank: Enric fillat and everyone at B.E.S.T, the abant family, cesar canas, juan pe and angel battle for all there help over the last week.( and xavi casas for designing a bike that easily stood up to all the abuse thrown at it!)Also big thanks to patt, for putting up wth me! and for all his help:) Scott Edited March 12, 2007 by Scotty Evil1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantham Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 where do you guys work, i wanna work somewhere that pays enough to go away and gives that much time off. seems like patts off somewhere all the time.If i told you i'd have to kill you. I have to go back to work tomorrow after 3 weeks off It was a truly awesome 10 days, riding with cesar and oscar sainz was awesome. Me and scott just sat and spoke to Cesar for about an hour when it was too dark to ride and he was telling us loads of stuff about biketrial and what he thought of things. I think his girlfriend bought him a drill for christmas as his bike was drilled to the max, but was very light.I'd also like to thank, Cesar, Joseph Abant for inviting us to there house for dinner, Oscar Sainz for driving us back to Sabadell, Angel Battle and his girlfriend for looking after us in Torremdebarra, The guys at best for a great day and the meal after at the restaurant courtsey of them, Meria and Gemma Abant for meeting us at the train station and taking us to the hotel, xavi alonso for the lifts and translations, Enric Gilbert for his help in getting us there, the guys at the bikeshop in torrembarda for the lift and grinding our wheels and all the other kool people that helped us out.Got some pictures to follow soon and deffinatly a video. Thanks to Scott for keeping me out of trouble and away from people in white trousers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
