Mark W Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (Y) <- click 30 minute drive. First hop of the day. No spare. Lesson: don't land like a fat heffer on jaggedy-ass rocks. Just check that natural out though. Tip of the iceberg, people, tip of the iceberg :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) " That doesn't sound good... :turned: " Major understatement , given how far you'd driven . For what it's worth - nice opening move and what an awesome spot , looks to offer good riding . How did you arrive @ a figure of 14.5 % ? Is there a unit of measurement for hapiness , perhaps invented by a politician to illustrate how effective his / her policies are ? Gutted either way , but look upon the incident as a tantalizing glimpse of what trials related joys await you at those rocks .

Luke Drewery Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Lol that happens to all of us, you take your time to ride somewhere out of town or whatever and your bike knackers up, so you eiother have to go home or sometimes your lucky because someone has a spare. Looked like a big backwheel though. :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) Ha ha quality. Care to comment on the situation, Mark? Erm...Less that amused. :S :P Was it just me who got annoyed at the guy behing the camera? He has such a gay laugh. :) Edited October 17, 2005 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yer no messing about....he sent money...i sent forks... :S Actually Joe, you sent forks, I sent money :P Couldn't believe it though. So shit! That place is amazing to ride though. There's loads of shit like those rock-type things there, but a little further on there's a river that's full of rocks from little wheel size ones to full on 6ft high boulder. Also, a really nice sorta streety bit in the middle of it by the base of a bridge. Such a great place to ride. Hadn't gone there before, and it's only like 15miles up the road or so :) Alan's cackle is priceless though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
