The Xplore Motorhomes Balance Bike World Championships
Mountain biking is an inherently dangerous sport with the distinct possibility of severe injuries, or even worse.
No matter where you ride or how well you know the course you should never ride beyond your skill level and always ride in control and in a sensible manner. Riding in control does not just mean being able to stop, it also means having the requisite skills to recognise and avoid potentially dangerous situations on the course. You must also be able to recognise where it is safe to stop on the course you are riding. Avoiding accidents with other riders is an essential mountain biking skill. Riders must use the course in a sensible manner compatible with their level of experience. Riders should walk the course, observing current ground conditions, making yourself aware of any obstacles prior to riding the course. We ask riders to accept that they will ride the course at their own risk and accept that no liability can be accepted by the event organisers.
Eastnor Deer Park is a beautiful venue and we openly encourage you to bring your bike and ride if you know that your bicycle and yourself are both fit for purpose. All of the courses when not in use for either practice or racing will be open for you to ride. The cost is £5.00 per rider payable in advance when you purchase your festival ticket or at at rider registration (at the event) as you will need to sign in and receive a number board and cable ties to ride any of the courses.
