2007 Season Highlights

Mayhem World

MAYHEM WORLDTHE BIRTH OF A BRAND
Mountain Mayhem, the UK’s first ever the 24 hr mountain bike endurance event was born in a muddy field back in 1998. Now after 10 years, the owners of the UK’s often-imitated-but-never-beaten-number-one-24hr-mountain-bike-endurance-event, Pacific Edge Events, have created another first: the event that has become a brand.
Pacific Edge Events proudly announce the birth of their new baby:

WHY?
Because Mountain Mayhem has grown so big it has become impossible to confine it just to a weekend. This baby is for life!
www.mayhemworld.co.uk. is where you will find a whole plethora of stuff, from discounts, competitions, Mayhem course details, regular newsletters, meet the team behind the event, find out some tips from the top, check out the history of Mountain Mayhem and generally pick up some advice and have some fun along the way. And just like the event this website will evolve too!
There are so many things on there, you just need to go and have a look for yourself…

SO IS A WEBSITE ENOUGH?
Frankly no, it isn’t.
As part of the evolution of Mountain Mayhem the event into Mayhem World the brand, another little baby has been born: Mayhem World Club.
With Mountain Mayhem the event, our philosophy has always been “the rider always comes first”, so naturally, as part of the evolution of Mayhem World, that philosophy has be at the core of everything we do.
If you register with Mayhem World (which will cost you nothing but an email address and a few personal details) you will be able to pick up some great discounts throughout the year from our selected partners and also on a range of goodies from the Mayhem World brand (to be launched at Giant Mountain Mayhem 2008).
As a member of Mayhem World Club you will also be able to enter our exclusive monthly competitions.
We are carefully hand picking partners who feel the way we do, partners who can offer holidays at home and abroad; skills courses; clothing; bike bits – in fact a veritable cornucopia of delights!

HOW DO I JOIN?
That’s easy. Go to www.mayhemworld.co.uk and send us an email from the Mayhem World page and we’ll pop you on our newsletter mailing list.
At the Mountain Mayhem event (Eastnor Castle Deer Park, 20th, 21st & 22nd June 2008) we will be issuing actual membership cards. Don’t worry, if you can’t make it to Mayhem this year, of course we’ll miss you, but just let us know and we’ll send your card out to you.
For more details on the Mayhem World Club, just check out the Mayhem World link on www.mayhemworld.co.uk where Mayhem rules all year long!
Lubbely, jubbely!

Photo Edition

Some Photo’s - As it’s been a while since the last news update, we thought we’d spruce this page up with a couple of photo’s to get you in the riding mood!

Back in September, Victor and Billy from Dirt Magazine came out with us with a view to running a feature on ‘riding beyond the bikepark’.which is really where you need to be exploring when you come over to this part of the world.

Canadian DH wunderkind Steve Smith joined us for a few days as I'm sure issue 75 of DIRT will illustrate and it was indeed a site to behold - that boy rides pretty smooth and BIG! - one for the future certainly.

Enjoy the shots and be sure to email us if you want to know where they were taken!
