Element DH - Team and Bike shop

The store will be closing down till further notice.

The team will still ride on and actively looking for sponsors and to sponsor riders who have the heart and vision to make it.

Till we get revamped, this blog will be used to advert DH and Mountain bike activity in general and also share thoughts and ideas on how we progress.

Cheers
