so three whole days! whats the general plan? also what kind of set up is recommend generally?
i know its personal preference but im considering comeing over from Israel straight to this event and then heading southwards to Kent to my family so id like to bring as little equipment as possible.
i currently have:
-a trampa/mbs hybrid
-nosno kite (alloy axle)
-8s and 9s
-abs brake (with fittings for both matrix and nosno alloys)
any info greatly appreciated!

Brake is needed, 9's are highly recommended mate

We're all riding NoSno, cept I'll be on my Nompa! Go with whatever you want though, it's not mega rough, apparently.

9s and the ABS would be best combo, a brake isn't essential but it is useful.
Most of the tracks are firetrack, rideable on 8's, but silky-smooth on 9s - there's some tight and twisty DH MTB tracks, a lot are too rutted/tight-cornered to be much fun, but a few add some interesting extra bits to the firetracks.
More importantly bring insect reppellant, I was eaten alive by the mossies last time we went!
There's also stuff that we can only ride at night:rolleyes:, so again brake is handy for that and maybe torches, although we should have some spares you an borrow.
It will be awesome if you can make it!
