4Xers ready for next British rounds

British 4X riders will head to the UK Bike Park this weekend for National Points Series (NPS) rounds six and seven on August 16-17.

Purpose-built for the NPS, the course is run on a hard-pack stone surface and is fast when dry or wet. It also features a fast and long starting straight after launching from the highest wooden platform in the country. Riders will fly toward a big quad jump before slamming on the brakes and hitting the burm at the end of the longest straight on this year's course. A few corners and hip jump later and riders will be crossing the line to be crowned 2008 Series Champions.
