Initially it was to be run at the Acadia track but due to weather and a few unknown circumstances it was moved to the St Ives short track which proved to be a great venue once again. With a drop in riders, probably due to the late move of the venue, it did create some really close racing and most of all some great spectating opportunities.<br />The course was only 2.5km long, however it did test all riders with some really technical tight turns that did take it's toll on a couple of riders.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/343032154740549435-1892541554638916829?l=blackmans-bikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ukalipthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03606090573839055685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343032154740549435.post-23805938059641361782008-05-07T00:52:00.003-07:002008-05-07T00:52:59.127-07:00another amazing video of some great downhill action<br /><div><object width="420" height="339"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x2m62b" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x2m62b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="339" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x2m62b">Mondial Du VTT Descente de Venosc caméra embarquée</a></b><br /><i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/103TuRtLe">103TuRtLe</a></i></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/343032154740549435-2380593805964136178?l=blackmans-bikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ukalipthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03606090573839055685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343032154740549435.post-68397060210799237242008-05-06T06:17:00.000-07:002008-05-06T06:26:59.720-07:00thanks to Piotr Kabat for this absolute gem.<br />in full HD!<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=965757&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF"> <param name="quality" value="best" /> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="scale" value="showAll" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=965757&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/965757?pg=embed&sec=965757">Downhill Contest Myslenice</a> from <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/user453106?pg=embed&sec=965757">Piotr Kabat</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com?pg=embed&sec=965757">Vimeo</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/343032154740549435-6839706021079923724?l=blackmans-bikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ukalipthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03606090573839055685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343032154740549435.post-63528283011929403252008-05-04T21:20:00.000-07:002008-05-04T21:36:10.275-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mwg.com.au/blog/images/dirtworks_jah_jah.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://mwg.com.au/blog/images/dirtworks_jah_jah.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />this years BMC dirtworks saw over 2000 riders in 15 categories competing in all levels of competition, from single speed to elite males it was an amazing day with a great atmosphere and some really hard and close riding. line honours were taken by hamish in 4:40min on a <a href="http://www.yeticycles.com/?#/ourrides/">Yeti 575</a> now in stock at <a href="http://www.blackmanbicycles.com.au/">blackmans</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/343032154740549435-6352828301192940325?l=blackmans-bikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ukalipthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03606090573839055685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343032154740549435.post-74872250631479868882008-04-07T18:27:00.001-07:002008-12-10T23:30:36.588-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opiKjuppkD0/R_rKLPttVZI/AAAAAAAAACI/cIyVvQMEzA4/s1600-h/e41k31r07289x08601441515i27617S0.jpg"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opiKjuppkD0/R_rKLPttVZI/AAAAAAAAACI/cIyVvQMEzA4/s400/e41k31r07289x08601441515i27617S0.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186680215416165778" /></a><br />Scott’s IMP™ and CR1 technology combined have resulted in the lightest road frame in the world at 790 gr.
