Well what a super super weekend that was!
Glorious sunshine, some top name riders out shredding the Welsh valley of Llangollen, and some proper good action.
Plenty of pictures to see in the gallery, and a small video to come soon.

British Downhill Series Champs 2011
Series finale of the British Downhill is this weekend 23rd-24th July in Llangollen, Wales. A brilliant opportunity to see some big name riders such as Steve Peat, Josh Bryceland, Brendan Fairclough and Gee Atherton to name a few.
Weather forecast looks good, beer tent open all day and camping is free, can’t be bad. http://www.halobritishdownhillseries.com

Racers Guild – Balboa, Cannock Chase
The Racer’s Guild is local riders on local tracks, getting to know each other, having fun, learning, training, and doing timed runs. It’s for beginners and experts alike, run-what-you-brung, and take as many runs as you like.
Work on your technique, your line, beat your times, and beat your friends. Get involved, dig some trails, give back to the sport.
July’s turn for the Racer’s Guild took us to the line named fittingly after Rock Balboa. Balboa has plenty of rock drops on a steep and twisty line from the top of Stile Cop, and it certainly offered some excellent viewing.
All images can be seen in the main gallery here: http://www.djaphoto.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5039
Some sample shots below from the day.
