Well Friday came around and there was a brief break in the weather and I thought, best make the most of it! Me and a friend decided to practice our trail skills around Gisburn Forest in Lancashire. Well, what a fantastic afternoons riding we had! Yes, there were a huge amount of puddles around but that just added to the fun.
Grant wanted to do a bit of work on his drop if technique so we practiced a few on the new 'Hope Line'.
The drop itself wasn't that high but combined with the rolling landing and slightly blind lip it proves a challenge for even the more experienced rider. Picking the right line over the drop is crucial as it affected the run out and the corner at the bottom. With some advice and explanation on different lines Grant was soon hitting the drop with confidence! Well done Grant!
