Yes I'd like at the very minimum for the results to be entered and DH event recognised on the ATBA-UK site. All the riders deserve recognition for travelling to, paying and entering the event, just like any other ATBA-UK event. I'm sure the competitors thought it would be a listed recognised ATBA-UK...

My gripe is with the ATBA-UK, not you Roger.
So, can a ATBA-UK committee member answer my original question:
Why has Dave not been recognised/listed as an event on your ATBA-UK SITE?
To back this up, see link: http://www.atbauk.org/downhillchampionship.html

Gripe @ ATBA-UK
I've just received the ATBA-UK news letter which gives the overall placings/rankings of the UK comps .. nice, thanks for the update......
.....However, I note that the Dave Downhill (held this Summer) has not been listed/recognised.
WHY IS THIS?

9'' Primo Strykers at 50psi are likely to do the job for you .... if you need the roll factor to maintain the speed, Jasper is right about acceleration and grip. Once rolling the 9s are generally faster and best used for long fast downhills, JC is proof of this, but if it's short (e.g. boardercross)...
