http://www.pinkbike.com/video/110190/ the bit where everyone is falling off into the bushes down the hill is the steep bit, well the corner at the end of the steep shute, now i see why it slipped away, cos everyone fell off on it. i only saw about 5 people fall off on it, some people on that vid just missed the corner altogether

yeah, its still hard in the wet, btu the wetscreams grip better over roots in the wet, so anytime it rains now its wets for me, i think i might keep the wets on all winter, and just change to drys every now and then, then drys again come spring time

on that vid its the bit from the big step down to the little wooden plank drop that had the new line. you better go to moelfre you'l love it. funnest track ive ridden, uplift was pretty good, not as good as caersws . also they have a film on in the evening which was a good film last time. also camping is in the finish feild, so it takes no time to get to your tent from the finish, and its easy to get back to the uplift and takes about 2 mins from the bottom of the track, go go go go go. its amazing. and you can see farmer Jack

yeah, i expect it will be the steep line replaced cos theres 3 lines there now, so i expect thats the build zone sorta place. should be fod on sunday, not sure yet will get back to you, yeah i wanna get some practice in on the race track and just do some general riding. will probably be wet so il probably shove the wets on, fod is still grippy in the wet on dry tyres but the wets grip better over roots and on fallen leaves, so they'l be on, and will probably stay on for most of winter. if its wet you can have a ride on my bike with the wetscreams, if its dry il be on drys, of course

sweet. its about 10 mintues out of Oswestry, just over the welsh border. if you wanna find it on google maps search Moelfre Hall. about 2.5 hours away. that steep bit was ok, just a bit sketchy. it says on the email i got that the track will have a new section added to keep things fresh, so i expect it will be somethign instead of the steep bit. ah well, im sure whatever it is itl be awesome
