I think, you can only acquire speed in XC riding if you stay on the bike.
Off road riding requires some level of quick reflexes and techniques to handle speed, so take it easy first. Get the basic skills wired, test yourself with easier trails before blasting the real stuffs. Leave Kent Ridge trail till later, if you're new to XC.  --------------------       |

I'm thinking of doing a basic trail bike clinic at tampines XC trail for newbies.
should cover areas especially on descend, pedal & foot works, berming (cornering) & not so much of climb as i'm not a climber myself. i would like to see a show of hands before deciding on one. Please also understand that i may not be qualified to give the best riding techniques but it should help you out on the trail. if the response is good, it will not be just me giving the tips. Johnny, my brother will be there to advise & giving riding tips. Mostly importantly, it's free. that's about it. Bring your bike, get your gears, & we can go.  --------------------  Togoparts is good, we are just better. if i do not reply, it means your thread is not worthy. |

if we are going to pull it off.. it will definitely be one of those weekend morning. not to worry, should not take more than 4hrs in the trail..
