This is without doubt one of my top sports in the entire world, i love most aspects of the industry respectively, although my heart lies with the Downhill scene.

For the last 3 years we have been riding in the forests and hills around Aberdeen at day and at night when the days are short up here in the far north. We have had tremendous experiences: too many to mention here but they can be read at the below listed GASP Gritmuncher websites. I had to create 2 websites since we ran out of space due ...  Read the complete review

I've been mountain biking since getting a Ridgeback back in 1986. I raced Expert class cross-country, I've raced National Downhill races and then took a break for a few years. Living in London, we're pretty limited for good riding terrain. Street riding is fun, and there's some great stuff to jump/drop off around the City of ...  Read the complete review

I first got into mountain biking when I bought a couple of magazines for a mate who I knew was into it in a big way.

I had a heavy old Raleigh Lizard at the time which I thought was great, if a little heavy, and started to save and beg for a ...  Read the complete review

I own an Orange E4 & this is a fantastic bike & the support is 2nd to none from Orange, if I have a question I just ring em up or e-mail them & the answer comes back almost immediately. On the same note Pace Racing are ...  Read the complete review

Yep, that's right CYCLO-CROSS. A few years back before 26 inch wheel mountain bikes became popular, off roading was done by Land Rovers and Cyclo-Crossers. I'm not saying mountain bikes are bad, no no, I have 2 and ride them loads. However over the winter I race a cyclo cross bike, and to be quite honest it's much ...  Read the complete review

This is the best magazine in the shops if you are a pure downhill mountain biker or trails rider.It is so much better than any other mountain bike mags on the market because don't you just find it so frustrating when flicking through a mag and some cross country comes up. Some of the good things about this mag is all the fantastic articles ...  Read the complete review
