First of all,the MDHSS has started.A series of racing put together with different venue around Malaysia under jointly organise by different organisers.The overall time will be put into position and earned points.Total point received,will determined who will be the 1st series champion and got the big jackpot...So,be brave,take out those big balls and slam the track...we even would like to thank all the people who have and will put all this together.A big pat on the back...


Too far too drives,we fly...well,that is what happened.Anyway,we made good result at the 1st time racing in 2010.Zel was on podium in expert with 5th placed and just 1second seperated the top 5.But unlucky for Omar,he was shift to expert category .He had won the Bc race in master,then he upgrade himself to open in Penang dh Race and still wins.The organiser now want to see how would he fare in Expert and he finished 9th (he would got podium in Open)...What a short reign at the top.But still Omar took it a challenge.He even say,he would revenge it on the next series in BC race coming this March.Tom Jee and Ian Chin was there too.All runs under CCi flag.

Penang #3 Youth Park DH Trail Review

[click image for large view]

A - 10ft vertical drop off
B - Triple drops
C - Rock garden (loose rocks)
D - Step down corner
E - High speed roots section
F - Quick changing direction (rocky)
G - Rough high speed section
H - Roots section
I - Technical staircase section
J - Fast off camber section
K - High speed drop
L - Tarmac and open field (power paddle)

Okey, here some review and tech info from us about Penang #3 DH trail. This hard pack trail is about 1.7km long and 90% natural. Fast, rocky and full of roots is the best description of the course as it descends down to the Youth Park. The descending is just nice to gain some speed. High Roller tyres can smokes this trail easily but if rain, Minion is recommended. There is no mud on the rainy day, so you don’t really need mud tyres, you just pay extra careful on crossing the roots and rocks. The trail is wide and you can choose your own line. We have seen Adam riding on this trail a few years ago with his semi slicks tyres... wuhuhu, isn’t it Adam? Hard tail is also fun to ride it here. The average time on this course from the last race is about 4:00 and the champion timing is 3:12 by Adam.

Usually Penang riders will practice or riding on this trail between 11am to 3pm. Morning?? Oohoho don’t mess up with hikers. Evening ride also can’t. Sadly we need to push up bike all the way to the top. But dont worry, its not as bad as you think, trust me. Once you riding down the trail, all the lactic will be substitute by adrenaline... hahaha. If you are getting bored with biking in your own area come here for the weekend. You also can ride on this trail starting from the Penang Hill. Guys, finally we shall race again on this course. The race is on!!! Confirmed date on 20th December 2009. Please plan properly your holidays and make Penang as your destination for this coming December. Let’s rock the trail guys..!!

UKDI seri4 Specialized Indosat Downhill Challenge 2009

The race was great.Its so mind blowing.I can say that this is the best ever race ive seen n attended...From day 1 i could say i will never regret this.Me and Yamm arrived in Jakarta on Monday,then we all head to cilegon which is 2hrs drive.After a quick lunch we head to the track.Its flowy,inviting and fast.Ive never ride a track that is so nice.I said to Yamm,im so fully used my M3 here...wish i could show to u guys.Go there,none of you would regret.

Penang Tranny Trial DH Race 2009

Last weekend on 27september 2009 was the best weekend for all Penang Kia downhillers. It’s been such a 3 years since the last race at Penang International 2007. Kenneth is the guy who brought up the idea to do this downhill race at our new Point 84 of Penang hill hikers trail. This event was successfully organized by Chee Keong and friends for all Penang Downhillers whose ‘kaki dah gatal nak race’. All the riders assembled at deJuice Cafe around 7.00am. After registration and briefing they were picked up by truck to the Point 84 starting line. Mie Tokun and Shan were responsible to bring all of them to the starting point with their Isuzu trucks. Our team actually only decided to enter the race at the last minute because it was much too soon after Raya Aidilfitri. Only after practising a day before the race day, Zul, Omar, Eddie and myself decided to participate in the race but Kamal and Wan decided not to race with us maybe becoz they were still in the ‘raya mood’ haha...




The race started almost at 9.30am, and there were all 30 riders participating. All the riders were given 2 runs to rock the trail, and the best time of both runs determines the winner. Omar and Zul made their first run before me, and the last one is Eddie. During the first run, the trail was slippery due to the rain pour last night. I put on low pressure for my 2.3” minion and I tried to give my best shot for the first run but its turn out differently. Mistake were everywhere maybe becoz I pushed myself too hard. These things also happen to Omar, Zul and Eddie. For the final run, we all agreed to be more focus and relax just like our usual weekend ride. I got a pretty good run for the finals and manage to cut 33 seconds from my first run. Omar also had a good run except for the ending part, he crashed and lost some time to cross the finish line. Everybody seems to be very happy and we finished the event with the price giving ceremony near the finish line. The event ended at 12.30pm.

Here the Race result:
1st - Zel - 5.23
2nd - Andy - 5.35
3rd - Ghee - 6.12
4th - Hooi - 6.22
5th - Omar - 6.22
6th - Eddy - 6.23
7th - Tom - 6.30
8th - C.K - 6.33
9th - Kenneth - 6.39
10th - Willen - 6.42

2010 Manitou Dorado Pro Aluminum and Dorado MRD Carbon Fork

DH Consumer friendly, Manitou Dorado 2010

More pro Mountain Biking >>

Manitou re-introduced the Carbon Dorado this past year and everyone was stoked to see it back in action. The down side is that is was less attainable to the average downhill consumer due to its price tag. The good news is that Manitou has created the all new Aluminium Upper MY 11 Dorado and it's got all the bells and whistles you'll find in its Carbon sibling, and at a price that is inline with the market

The two biggest differences are the move away from Carbon Fiber legs to aluminum, which lets Manitou drop the MSRP from $2,750 down to a more DH consumer friendly $1,759. The internals remain unchanged, so there’s nothing new or unproven to mess with the fork’s well-received performance. The current carbon model weighs in at 2,812g and the new aluminum model will weigh 2,971 despite having slimmer legs and lighter, hollow aluminum crowns. Some of the new tricks learned in the development of the aluminum legs will trickle up to a new carbon-legged version for the trustafarians, making it even lighter

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

We would like to wish all muslim a very Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to our sponsor and supporting organization. To all the riders as well as race organizers too....Maaf Zahir Dan Batin if there is any mistakes, misunderstanding and misbehave...
