Do you know what extra g braking or cornering is

No, but even a google search doesn't come up with anything. Are they terms you invented to sound RAD? 😉

I'd be delighted if you'd elaborate. Maybe I do these things but I'm unaware of the gnarl-core terminology.

Vinney, I take your point, but the variety of single track is limited, its the same, stoney base, in the trees, or in clearfell. Theres a greater variability, even within singletrack, on natural stuff and thats my preference.

I love riding trail centres, they're where I do most of my riding. More than happy to come and show you up on your local bit of hardcore trail though...

I got bored surprisingly quickly and I realised theres a lack of line choice.
[b]not much different to singletrack then..[/b]

You've hit the nail on the head, a very rosey tinted picture is being painted in a misty eyed romantic fashion....that somehow, a natural piece of singletrack offers a lot more line choice than the very same thing in an area where you are 'told in which direction to go' by a few little arrows here and there.

Laughable. 🙂

Exactly, especially when the little arrows help you avoid hitting other riders and bikes at speed 😯

Since Cannock Chase got a trail centre style setup the amount of local riders has multiplied by a million, as riding bikes is good then more folk riding bikes is good.

I dont ride them myself though, I'm above the tourists in moral and skill quotas.

Yeti, you should come to Wales, we have these things called rocks to make it interesting 🙂

Molly... I will! I met a man, who knows a man, who knows you in the real world.

I rode Y Das the other week.. that was pretty rocky.

I certainatly would'nt go to Wales ridding ever again to be honest, I live in West Yorkshire and i would much rather travel a little further to the 7stanes trails in Scotland, i hate the long borious trails in Wales, nothing of any intrest to me if i was being honest. Scotland everytime for me im afraid.
I love the trail centres because THEY ARE marked and you can just get on with ridding and keep it flowing, rather than stopping all the time to look at a bloody map.
