Oakley National Trails Champs – Day 1
The Oakley National Trails Champs kicked off yesterday at the famous Decoy trails in Newton Abbot. The team awoke refreshed in a posh hotel which was the same place all the riders stayed for Empire of Dirt! After cooked breakfasts and a swim, everyone met up at Decoy for a session…
The riders on the trip, from left to right are – Bubba [driver], Scott Edgworth, Jon Robinson, Toby Forte, Ross Head, Kye Forte, Baz Keep, Cong [driver], Max Wood, Matt Priest, Leo Forte, Ferret, John Spurr, Robbo, Lima, James Cox [filmer] and Martyn Tambling…
The National Trails Champs bus…
Robbo, Kye Forte, Leo Forte and Max Wood all got stuck in for the ‘whip’ comp, we have a video below. Cast your vote for the winner who will be crowned on Friday! As a big incentive, a random person who votes will be picked and they will win a DC Shoes / Oakley package from Kye Forte, this will be a prize not to be missed… Remember, you must also comment or we’re not going to know who to give the prize package to!
Loading ...Check back every day this week for video updates from James Cox who’s on the road with the team!

August 26th, 2009 at 13:28
deffo leo
August 26th, 2009 at 13:28
Have to say leo, but robbo was very close in my opinion
August 26th, 2009 at 13:31
Leo was sick and smooth
August 26th, 2009 at 13:42
Robbo followed by Max…
August 26th, 2009 at 13:59
robbo by far
August 26th, 2009 at 14:09
leo
August 26th, 2009 at 14:11
Leo was the best.
August 26th, 2009 at 14:26
Gona go with Leo on this one for sure !
August 26th, 2009 at 14:31
Leo with Max a close second.
August 26th, 2009 at 14:42
Leo mad most movement of any bike.
August 26th, 2009 at 14:45
LEO!
August 26th, 2009 at 14:47
leo was more kicked out but robbo looked more natural
August 26th, 2009 at 14:51
robbo definitely all the way. Max second, they were all sideways as fuck, kye and leo were amazing too, but i like to see a little more straightness in the legs. probably because they roasted the higher though. so good
August 26th, 2009 at 14:53
You all wrong – Kye by a pretty mile!
August 26th, 2009 at 14:55
leonardo forte definatly!
August 26th, 2009 at 14:55
Since im big Max Wood fan, voted for him.
August 26th, 2009 at 15:00
leo as it was past 90
August 26th, 2009 at 15:02
leo cuz it look almost past 90
August 26th, 2009 at 15:05
Leo me thinks
August 26th, 2009 at 15:05
I thought Robbo would take it before even watching it, cos his whips are sick, but I gotta give this one up for Leo as well.
August 26th, 2009 at 15:07
Robbo
August 26th, 2009 at 15:11
Not the most flattering angle for whips eh. Robbo got my vote!
August 26th, 2009 at 15:24
i say kye forte
August 26th, 2009 at 15:35
Leo in my opinion as he styled out of it and landed in nice and smooth.
August 26th, 2009 at 15:49
Yeahh go Leo it was definatley the cleanset
August 26th, 2009 at 15:55
i was gonna say, i didnt think whips were cool on trails but then i remember that i “whip” is a cool name for a kick out! i recon Martyn Tambling’s was by far the best! he span around a full tree fiddy!
August 26th, 2009 at 16:28
Leo
August 26th, 2009 at 16:56

August 26th, 2009 at 17:15

August 26th, 2009 at 23:26
robbo cause he doesnt even have to try
August 26th, 2009 at 23:32
deffz gotta be leo
August 27th, 2009 at 00:16
Leo had the height, the sidewaysness and brought it all back sooo smooth, had to go with him, but robbo had a dialed whip aswell.
August 27th, 2009 at 00:24
robbo
August 27th, 2009 at 00:40
robbo!!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 01:35
Leo for sure tho Kye is second he booms it straigh in and is way higher and stays kicked out for longer than robbo. I think no offense to Max that max made robbos look better? Not sure.
All smooth as butter tho!
August 27th, 2009 at 01:53
Robbo is the smoothest and most stylish for sure.
August 27th, 2009 at 07:21

August 27th, 2009 at 08:34
I want to touch all of their bottoms
August 27th, 2009 at 08:41
It’s Leo, has to be…..
August 27th, 2009 at 08:52
I voted for Kye but all of them whip it impossibly to me
August 27th, 2009 at 09:09
les for the win
August 27th, 2009 at 10:33
ROBBO!
August 27th, 2009 at 10:54
Leo….Leeeeeo…I wanna Leo and I want one now
August 27th, 2009 at 11:37
Id say Robbo wins it this time
August 27th, 2009 at 12:07
I think robbo. Nice and smooth.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:18
As bad ass as the fortes are, Robbo has it for sure. perfect amount of moto. 90degrees bike. and pulls it back to lander perfectly straight without going overkill on the tweak.Boom!
p.s. not voting for Leo just because I had to share a van with him and his dysfunctional digestive system for too long on a road trip to the secret full pipe.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:36
Kye followed by leo, robbo then max last
August 27th, 2009 at 13:31
