So that's a big week long thing so 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: that I think they were practicing Monday, Tuesday, yesterday they 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: had their first competition, which was a cross country. Today 29 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: they've got the junior downhill tomorrow, I think senior downhill 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: and then in Duro on Friday, which is all over 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: the mountain. 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 1: Brave enough to do downhill mountain biking. 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: I did a bit of mountain biking when I was 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: at Mount Hunt College and it was yes, so so fun. 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: I think as a team to look at downhill and 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: go at versus as an adult, I think I'd be 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: completely different. 38 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: Our Howden genes are not strong enough in terms of 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: coordination to pull something like that off. I reckon the 40 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: risk outweighs the rewards. 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: It's a lot of technical stuff. So these guys are 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: bloody sharp. They're you know, it's not just the fitness 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: and the endurance, but the technical skills to navigate going 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: down how it's very impressive.
