Sunday the 13th March 2 of the TSC riders headed over to B1KE's Windhill bike park in near Longleat - Warminster. Joey & Sean decided to head to their first ever race and check out what the scene is all about...
"Going into the race I was expecting everyone to be super serious but when race day did come along everyone was having fun and it was a chill atmosphere. I was expecting and nervous but when I was on the start line everything went away. I just focus on getting down the hill without fall off, which I did until the second run where I ran out of skill and washed out.
If I knew racing was such good fun I would have started year ago! It was mega and I had a really good time. So yes I would race again and I can’t wait till the next race!" - Joey

"Getting my ticket two days before kinda ment I didn’t have that long to worry about it or the day ,
as it was my first and not knowing what to expect from the experience of being in between the tapes , it felt a little daunting, my only experience watching was from the other side .
Just when i thought bikes could not get any more enjoyable and better- I was totally proven wrong from start to finish.
My main game was to just get to the bottom and just work from that . I did just that on my first run and managed to get quicker down the track through out the day with a couple of lie downs to as the track was a little messy witch made the day really interesting. Really fun
Great friends great company and such a chilled day of something that seemed to be abit scary not knowing what to expect. Great vibes all day !
definitely something I’d like to do more of .
What a day , big thanks to Swindon cycles for the support
The best day at the races 🙌🏼" - Sean
