There are many “special moves” in the world of mountain biking, but most of them are concerned with the dull old business of keeping things rubber-side down. The second round of the 2005 Merida MTB-Marathon at Rhayader, Mid-Wales, provided an opportunity for riders to explore a whole new range of techniques. A particular stretch of moorland trail was largely benign in appearance, but deftly concealed in its dry dips and folds were a variety of excitingly deep and boggy holes. And between them, the riders found a fantastic range of ways to completely fail to succesfully negotiate them. It’s not so much “body English”, more “body Gibberish”…
