Retro GT on EWS course?!
- Thread starter jimo746
- Start date
it does indeed... while it's always hard to seethe difficulty of the terrain on videos, it really looks like the sort of riding we did back in the day on those sort of bikes.
I'v ridden some of the stuff they ran on the EWS here a while back and pretty much most of it i'd have been happy on a retro bike...of what I rode... there was some I wouldn't have ridden on a new DH bike from the vids haha

Re:
Fun video.
A bit if a shame that they chose a lower end spec'd, upright riding position bike with semi-slicks for the run. A FRO (and many others) would be far more capable given the longer wheelbase and smoother riding frameset, not to mention better brakes, tires, etc.
Still, I applaud the effort!
