Just watching a video of a TRF outing on the weekend with some new to the trails riders that poor Norden and brand new  and the guy at 7:20 :classic_laugh:🤣

 

I just watched this again Fred......and it's pretty painful to watch.

I don't aspire to be a proficient offroader, and thankfully I know my limitations. I'm not sure some of those guys do though. They keep falling over when they're not even moving! WTF?

If they're novices why aren't they on something like a CRF as one guy was? He must have been pissing himself at those guys struggling with those big bikes.

I've got a fair size inside leg but did hit the floor on the DRZ a couple of times as couldn't quite get my feet down as I liked. Think that's happening here coupled with the incline.

No prob with the old XLs though.

Something the video don't show is that their going up very steep hill and there are high spots on the ground so if your bike is on one you cant reach the floor like our guy at 7:20 , if they keep at it they will learn what to look out for and get better. But the real problem was the guy that was leading them and planned the route is a good rider he flew up there no problem and didn't realise how green the guys he had with him were, he's taken that lane off the novice route now which is a shame for them because the rest of the lane is real scenic and relatively easy.

Shouldn't they have spaced them out a bit more so everybody got a clear run without somebody else blocking their way?

You just don't read the posts do you :classic_laugh:

Yes I do......and I saw that you stagger them at one minute intervals.

But that didn't seem to be happening there with the other guy organising.

That's why i said that because it was a bit crowded there. Although even if you leave a gap you have no idea whats happening in front until you get there. It only takes one to stop to fuck up you line and on that hill its hard to start off on any bike

My boy just rang me to let me know that a severe storm is hitting Amsterdam tomorrow morning......around about the time we're due to get there.

Apparently he thinks there's a possibility our flight will be delayed or even cancelled.

And if it's not, then we're likely to get a lot of turbulence along with a rough landing!
