Rough dry adventure

Its very dry and hazy today but it wouldn't stop us having fun in weekends. We're testing the new trails made by friend for upcoming races just nearby Miri public park. Lots of rough spot, spikey bushes, huge drop of downhills and climbing. I got this bad luck where my pedals hitting my swollen legs until the wound got bulging and errupt some goo, lol. I hope the new trails will be ready for races soon. I haven't been racing for more than a year since i've successfully secure 2nd place on last mountain bike race in Bakam motocross trails..

Hammer trails

Rain heavily in the city but at the outskirt far away into remote dense open forest its all dry and hot. Torture day for me, every fun comes with pain, 'no pain no gain'. Was a blast fun ride going down the hill at high speed plus but i come out with major crashed down the huge holes and another slip and bang my chest against the saddle. What a day.

Ride under blue sky

For two continuous week our local weather remains sunny and hot. All dry and blue sky. Good news for me but bad news for others. All pack up, bike in my sedan and i'm leaving for the trails to meet up with other mountain bikers to hit the trails that was located 5 minutes drive before Lambir National Park. As usual before ride i got my chance to view some new blings on our buddies rides, IBIS carbon bikes, FUJI carbon and SHIMANO SAINT which hardly seen at local shop. Cool.
We hit the trails at 3.30pm going up and down the hills i mean way up and way down. The surface was all hard rock and slippery so i had to keep my butt on the saddle to keep the grip down. The trail dust looks beautiful as it smokes some tails as we weave down the wide dry trails under the blue sky. We move from high hill down into fields of swampy plantation and again going up through toughest rocky trails like having 3x gravity on our feet. Some doesn't make it though but lucky me i already fuel up my body with dozen of bananas, high sugar carbonate drinks and few plates of meats in the morning...hehehee..
At the end of the ride i realised my brake lever losing its pivot king pin which holds the brake lever in its place. Damns that was the 2nd time i lose the pin. The rocky trails must have cause my bike to vibrate too much and it flew off the coop. Well time to get back and order custom parts for it. However my Sunday was well spent having back with buddies and burn back some calories so i can eat like a king again before next ride..hahahar.

Youtube Part 2: Mountain biking through borneo bushy trails.

After going down the hill we then enter into some long bushy trails where it lead to a small local villages, few minutes into thick muddy bushes were finally exit the forest and onto to the pit stop where we parked our car beside the beach, by then its dusk. Sorry for the bad video cam angle because i tuck my PSP inside my pants. Will improve the video recording position after i make a cam mount over the helmet next week. Keep watching for our Sunday activity.

Youtube Part1- Borneo head hunter trails, down the hill i go!

Here are video take from my PSP video cam ( gocam / chottoshot ) which i tuck inside my pants color. Our group mountain biking on Borneos head hunter trails. As shown on video now I'm going down the hill trying to re group with other guys down below the hills. Kinda a bumpy and technical ride. The camera view angle was bad tho since i just tucked in my pants, i'll improve the cam view soon.
