Number 1: ATBA-UK Mountainboarding promotional video looks nice and professional with some decent footage and cheesy voice over. Looks just the thing to send out to companies looking for sponsorship. Further musing on the vid here on Remolitions Blog.

A load of us went to check out a track the Roger had spotted for a potential ATBA-UK downhill championship track. It didn't disappoint! We had a great weekend defining a line from the top of the hill to the bottom (around 500 metres no less) and then riding it. Still needs some tweaks, but its going to be shweet and a lot fast come the drier weather. Keep in the loop by visiting atbauk.org and signing up to the newsletter.

First impressions seem to be that Allestree Park in the woods could provided a good training location to deal with this sort of terrain, particularly on the single tracks avoiding the trees and speed checking in the rough.
Either way, see you on the slopes this June! Reminds me, must find my cheque book, sort out ATBA membership.....
