so I am an expert Norba MTB racer....:)
and then, I cave in to the pressure from my roadie buds...:mad:
i get a CX bike and did my first CX race, 3/4 45 mins....and lived. :eek:
and didn't place that bad either :o
and being an MTb'er I reckon I got a lot of handing skills, because I saw plenty
of badasses go down on sketchy stuff but if you planned it right no reason to crater...;)
anyhow..lookit me now, the next day, freaking registering for the
very next saturday and sunday UCI races. :D:D:D
I guess I got the CX bug. damn you all to hell :p
one thing I lack is skill dismounting and running. I can do it, but no technique. reckon that'll
come with experience.
anyway...CX is fun. errr, wicked boatloads of ultra fun at least when the race is over !
it's like a dirt TT with dafting
yes I said 'dafting'
