Do it, there are loads of Army DH riders who hit Tidworth who would happily throw a civvy down a hill..


..with advice obviously

Civvy, I was in a queue at the NAAFI when most of those kids were still in nappies.

I had 35km on a Niner RIP RDO, more trail than DH, but very different to my normal hardtail (tragically retired with a cracked frame) .... So wanted to prove I didn't want a more trail focussed full susser.

Still going hardtail, but what a laugh. Sections where the hardtail had to be 'managed' the Rip was just a point ride, hold on, remember to look further ahead and enjoy it.

Great fun, but most of my riding is really XC with limited technical trails, but I have to say it was an absolute blast.

I am sticking to the 2 bike plan. Currently without 1 at all

I'm 42 in June as a gauge of my willingness to launch myself down a wet jungle rock garden like today .... It was such a laugh.
