Another packed weekend...

Bloody hell - there's SO much to do this weekend! Here's a quick run down of what's on...

NPS Downhill at Innerleithen, Scotland
Pic: Ian Linton
Round 2 of the National Points DH Series, and a big event for UK DH racing. With Peaty out in Lisbon after his Downtown win and the Athertons at the Quashqai in London the win could go to a whole load of riders. My money's on Beaumont, Reid and Stanny with some serious pressure from the young 'uns like Sam Dale and Danny Hart.

Nissan Quashqai Challenge FINAL at South Bank, London

The grand finale of the Quashqai 'freestyle' series... Imagine a mix of slopestyle, dirt jumps, park and the world's best mountainbikers all going mad outside the Tate Modern in London. Entry is FREE for spectators so get yer ass down if you're in the area!

King of Dirt Round 2 at Wisley, Bucks

Round 2 of the all new King of Dirt dirt jump series and it's going to be AMAZING. The comp is under new management thanks to Upgrade's Ben Mark and there's loads lined up for the event. Relentless Energy Drinks are on board, Getspiked.co.uk are throwing in some prizes, heaps of riders are heading down. Support this series if you can! Check out: http://www.myspace.com/kingofdirt08
