NPS RD3 Inners! ...What a week we had in the run up to the SDA Championships at Innerleithen. Torrential rain for 3 days, that almost washed away the cabin at the finish line. The car park was a foot and a half under water on Friday morning but somehow when Saturday came it was gone...Even with the amount of rain the hill had during the week, the course was perfect. The 39 steps however is now more like the 139 steps as the race took it’s ... more

Last week-end Joe Gary and Andrew went to Bathgate BMX track Near Livingston.The day started late as Andrew (the lazy boy) didn't get out of bed till 2 o'clock. So we didn't get to the track till about 4.30 which didn't give us alot of time to ride the track. ... more

SDA Round 3 The forest of Ae...The top section was down over the rocks and onto the off chamber, through the trees across the rocky steam then the berms to step down to stump minefield to triples to the road drop. Form where the course was taped…just a little different to the normal fast hard hitting jumps. The old doubles off the road were used, well only the first one as you had to hip off it to ... more
