UK Gravity Enduro Rd 2 Innerleithen

by admin on April 30, 2013

Last weekend a few of the MBNW crew headed up to Innerleithen in the Scottish boarders for a crack at Round 2 of the UK Gravity Enduro Series.

The Innerleithen Round is renowned to be the most gravity fuelled downhill orientated out of them all and the MBNW boys were not disappointed, It was a tough weekend made harder by the track conditions but all of the lads came out with a big grin after a weekend of top class racing

The boys still smiling after a tough day fighting in the mud

There was a mixed bag of results with the Old boys Tim and Aggs battling it out in Vets and Oggy managing to scrape a 51st place in Masters after a series of crashes on a couple of the stages. DanB unfortunately smashed himself up in Seeding on the saturday which left him unable to race on the sunday (get well soon dude)

A large proportion of the entrys dropped out due to the mud but Welsh lads (and MBNW’S token Aussie Aggs) got down and dirty and completed the job. The lads are now looking forward to getting involved in some more of the rounds of this great series

Of interest this year is how many 29ers are being used in gravity enduro, it’s opened a can of worms that will be worth watching
