This January has seen the start of the groundwork for the RLS4X track in Leamington Spa. The plan is to hold regular races along with gate practice open to mountain bikers and also bmx’ers. These events are due to start on the 29th March, For more info check out http://www.rls4x.com/.
The first job was to restore the track to a width wide enough to hold races. Secondly the introduction of the tarmac first berm which is an awesome addition giving loads of grip whilst being extremely resilient to the abuse of the weather and riders.
We have also made some alterations to the first section of the last straight which has made this bit of the track have multiple line choices.
The dirt jump area has also been widened and we are creating an enormous step up perfect for practicing your tricks.
Warwick University has also kindly agreed to let us have use of the four man start gate that the purchased from the Nps4x series a couple of years ago. We’re currently repainting and servicing this ready for use in the coming months.
Chris Mucklow is Wideopen’s team rider and will be flying the flag for the magazine at UK 4X and dirt jump events in ’09. He’s supported by Superstar components, Dialled Bikes and Goodrich hoses. Stay tuned for more from him every couple of weeks here on the website...
