I had to go to Haibike xDuro FS AM - First Ride / Haibike Off Road Trail Demo Day - e-bikeshop.co.uk - YouTube to watch.

Good though.

Nice to see the bike taken out where it belongs and getting muddy . I did wonder at the start whether it was the motocross category though - those are some serious looking trousers, Martin

 

[Martin@e-bikeshop]

those are some serious looking trousers, Martin

It was muddy and yes they are my moto-x trousers!
Good job I didn't have the top on too, would look a rite noob!
Ill have a better (more serious) video up soon!

Is it hillier than it looks in the video, Martin?

Photo's & video tend to flatten out terrain,



Both taken from the same point on the same hill.

Hi Jack,

Yes it is hillier than it looks. Although my video editor failed to include the biggest hill.
Again it looks less of a hill in the video than it is riding up it.
But I always look at the angle of the trees to the ground to decide how steep it is.
I will try and upload a video tomorrow for you to see. I will drop a link on here.

By the way the difference in those two photos is astonishing!
Just shows what a difference camera view makes!

Sorry guys its been a pretty manic day.
I didn't get round to uploading the video as promised! I haven't forgotten.
I will try to upload it on Thursday as away from the computer tomorrow.

Regards
Martin

Ok so here is the slope, it looks pretty tame in the video but I can assure you in real life you look twice at it! Its also extremely muddy!

Hi kitchenman,

Thanks! You probably recognise the track, it being your local en all
Keep up the good work, with the pub2pub rides, still have to go and beat your time when I get a chance
