Dual slalom, is it just like two person downhill racing?!

Downhill mountain biking (and to a large degree mountain biking in general) is so much more than just the act of riding, it encompasses so many other areas. We attended a private race, on a sunny weekend day, that just was all about riding, mates, tunes, food, drinks, outdoors and good times. All things that come with downhill anywhere, this day just saw everyone racing bikes dual slalom style, there were World Champions, World Cup riders, Elite racers, punters and us! It didn’t matter about your skill, in the end no one is sure who even won but that’s okay! Surely downhill encompasses so much more than just riding, no doubt you can relate to a great day like this, enjoy.

Shuttles for the day! For some reason there didn't seem to be a shortage of volunteer drivers! — Shuttles for the day! For some reason there didn’t seem to be a shortage of volunteer drivers!

Getting tight on the markers on the way down!

There was even drifting when there were no other riders around! All part of the 'just ride' vibe that was there all day! — There was even drifting when there were no other riders around! All part of the ‘just ride’ vibe that was there all day!
