      No, but we'd like to see people being sensible with the gear they wear.

      As long as nothing else comes up, I'll come along to watch at least. I'd love to participate actually but my bike can't handle full lock turns very easily

      When i come down to this gymkhana course i will be ready!!

      I think confidence is an essential part of biking, commiting to that corner or leaning further than you would have leaned before. swinging your bike around at slow speeds and making decisions in the blink of an eye. Confidence is essential so i try to use it as much as possible. come and join in!!
