Mind, I've never offroaded and It'll be a while before I can afford to too but I didn't realise any of this stuff.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759695706238507076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606911239275818153.post-48794590870470319022010-09-02T13:47:15.970-07:002010-09-02T13:47:15.970-07:00Squarepants.

The trouble is the blues at almost all these trail ctrs are pathetic, 10 mile of forest fire road doesn't make a good blue. So to improve skills one has to try the reds. Yes we can read the signs and do fall off learning. Some get back on and try harder but others say fuck it cause it's all targeted at one skull level. Most money used on trail building is either forestry money or grants so should be spent to cater for every skill level.Huttyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966166766879924257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606911239275818153.post-8349471908928379932010-09-02T04:49:21.173-07:002010-09-02T04:49:21.173-07:00what a load of old crap- surely the point of learn...what a load of old crap- surely the point of learning is to fall off, fail, be unable to ascend the climb or roll that drop off!<br />I'm a trailbuilder (Volunteer!) who takes great pride in our work and welcomes CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, not the whinging of some unfit, unskilled newbie blaming the trails!<br />Ae, Kirroughtree, whinlatter etc are fantastic trails, Kirroughtree in my opinion is the best in the UK and are for EXPERIENCED riders - read the warnings next time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829763000773896192noreply@blogger.com
