redemption

South West Extreme's a new play area for mtn bikers, Based in Bideford in north devon the former mtn board spot has turned in to a 4x track, The track feels like a snowboarders boarderx track, with a range of jumps and a lot more flow than any other 4x track i have hit up, This tracks pure fun to ride even if you hate racing, The guys at TTFREERIDERS that help run the site have also started to add some shore along with a jump area, Last weekend i headed down and was out to show i can ride a dirt bike and it went well, the spot was covered with ice when we turned up and hit up the 4x track before joining Loz from the TT to session the jumps, It was cool to hit a range of lips and get my timing on game and i can not wait to head back, after that we headed to the shore, Now i do feel that shore makes you feel like a failed trials rider and while i have shown im one of the top dogs in the UK at it, I dont go out of my way to ride or build the stuff. Still hitting the drops in the ice added a little of fun to the section and we stomped it all first roll. After that we headed back to the 4x track and put in some sweet runs on the new Foes, The feeling a railing a turn at speed rules, No foam pit will ever teach a rider how to get real dirt bike skills, Great day and if your in devon make the trip even if your not in to 4x because the track feels like a mni A line and its well worth a road trip.
