Pete Hills has finally decided to do something with the footage he got at last years ATBA competition at The Edge. The video shows an on form MBS team with Brindy, Joe and Tom Read battling it out for the top spot. Jamie J and Renny are also in there.

Foam Pits are great for progression

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Not many people are lucky enough to have a foam pit in their back yard. Josh Maddocks is though. MBS Rider Matt Brind headed down to Devon along with his buddies from Project Doc and they had a progression session. Foam pit gives you the opportunity to practice getting the body movements right for a new trick before you try it on dirt. This can save on a lot of bruising. Good times.
