It ain’t half hot mum!
Scorching hot day out on the Howgills Sunday 23rd May intermediate course.
Big well done to Paul, Ian and Andy for efforts above and beyond the call of duty. The hills around Sedburgh are hard enough but in tempratures reaching 28 degrees we were well baked by the end of the day. Still musn’t grumble the trails were baked hard and super fast.
The three of them are off to the Alps in a few weeks and used this skills day to top up on skills before they go. New skills they picked up included- advanced negative positions for drop offs, compression front wheel lifts, rear wheel lifts, bunny hops and wheelies.
Below are the trio after climbing up from Ravenstondale just before a long descent down to Murthwaite Park.
Below is Ian demonstrating good negative form on a six foot drop off.
More pics at Face Book and a You Tube clip of Paul practicing his bunny hops.
Well done guys top day I look forward to a repeat performance later in the year.
