Zi’s been hardcore this week riding with myself, Jing (in the dark!) and again last night with Andy and I.
We met up at 5.30PM at Loftus and finished up just before it got dark. Was a great ride, cool air and since there’s nothing difficult at Loftus we just pushed ourselves to go faster through the bits we already know, as well as stopping at a certain area and just going over the same part again and again trying to clear a harder line (which we saw an XC guy try to clear on his Yeti but failed, fell and hit his head on the ground!). Zi’s already starting to get cocky. He’s flying down the downhill parts, so much so that he’s almost crashing into me (makes for some funny moments). Andy’s pushing too, he did the log for the 1st time, that’s a great thing as I’m sure he’ll do it every time from now on.
Andy lah.
Reign supreme – I fucking love this bike.
Rolling down, still have yet to huck it at speed, will do next time.
Going up. This was once a but tricky for us (4 months ago), but now I can do it without even trying.
Zi got up this time too.
Zi thought the orange line around was too easy so we tried the green line. Once you’re up the 1st step you lose a lot of momentum so you really have to hammer to get up the next step. I got up to the top but failed to turn left and keep going. A few more tries didn’t get me as far as the 1st attempt. Will get it next time I’m sure.
Andy’s loving it.
Some super sketchy ghetto jump someone built next to the train tracks.
