Hey everyone. Hope you're all feeling good after vietnam :) Anyway remember the bike park at Ubin I told you guys about? Well I went to try it and it was really one heck of an experience. Just in case any of you are interested I'm gonna write a little about it.
Basically the park is made around a quarry, and it's singletrack. The sections of the trail is divided into three sections: Blue (Moderate), Black Diamond (Hard), 2 black diamonds (Very Hard). It's a nice place, with plenty of nice views of the quarry, but it's really damn underutilized - when I went today I saw less than 10 pple in the whole place. nice. might be cos it was raining tho. and cos it was raining everything became slippery and muddy so became much harder =/ Then beside the trail there are 2 small set-ups for tricks and the like. One is the dirt skill park, where they set up small hills and another is just for tricks, where they set up teeter totters (bicycle version of seesaws), rocks, and the like.
So yup started off with the easy trails. Very very simple, anyone with balls and some experience on a bike should be fine with it. Problem is cos it rained and it was muddy and all that by the end of if you'd be drenched, and dirty cos all the mud is flung at you. Everything I wore changed colour. So was thinking to myself this is quite simple, so went off to try the dirt skill park. That went ok, tho not very well but still fine. A few minor crashes but no injuries :) so yay happiness! So lala got off the dirt skill park and went back on the trail. Well the problem is to get back there there's a slope, then a virtually 90-degree turn. So went wayy too fast, turned too much, braked, the bike skidded and I landed spectacularly and flew about 2 metres from the bike. WIPEOUT NO.1! So yup that was pretty painful but it was really really fun! Was bleeding a lot even though the injuries didn't seem that bad. Should try wiping out it's really quite interesting.
So got back on the trail and went towards the hard part. Well lets just say out of the 13 parts i only cleared about 1 or 2. The rest I had to use my legs or get off and push the bike or whatever. Well well dont even talk about the very hard ones cos it's practically impossible with the bike and my skill level haha. Very nice terrain though. Ended off the session with a short one at the tricks area. Tried out the teeter totter! Quite fun actly :) Too noob for most of the rest =/ And that was more or less it. Went Chek jawa but rained too heavily so went back. When I was washing off all the dirt 7 guys walked into the toilet. Then they started staring at me lol like in total shock cos of all the mud and stuff XD
Things I gained at the end:
bruises on my right elbow, right shoulder, right and left shin, cut on left buttcheek (my favourite one =), waist, right and left hands. Free exchange of colour of my shoes, shirt, pants to mud-body colour stayed the same, surprisingly. Oh and a hole in my pants the size of a fist. No wonder guys take girls biking.
Lessons learnt? Quite a lot actly. If anyone's thinking of going there pls rmb a poncho. Was raining like &^^#@%. And well rainy conditions made it a lot harder cos it was like slippery and muddy so yeah. Another thing bring enough water, not only to drink but to wash your wounds. After the wipeout (which was fun) I didn't have water to clean the wounds. And worst thing was it was muddy and raining so had to use rainwater to clean off the mud and stuff (not so fun). And of course first aid kit, which I didn't bring. A good pair of shoes with grip also comes in handy cos when you need to stop or whatever you need good shoes. Shin pads, groin guards, elbow guards, helmets are all good-it's a good thing to be humji. Oh and you really do need to be good on a bike-not for first time riders. If you have your own bike all the better, cos the ubin ones aren't exactly the best around. Anyway I really recommend you all to go there, but do be prepared for falls and crashes, the kind that might make pple quit cycling. In any case Ubin's a very nice place to cycle-even if you dont go there you can take an easier ride to Check Jawa and stuff. It's more interesting than you think haha.
Anyone interested? tell me and we can both go crash ourselves silly :)
