Yea im still aching a bit aswell. Had to ride my push bike into work this morning cause i sold 205 on saturday night and couldnt get the fiesta sorted Sunday doh! Proper took it out of me lol
Im sure ive got a good little vid of you coming up the hill getting the front wheel up . you looked really comfortable on your bike. Hope i can to your level soon and really start pushing myself.
I was happy just poodling around getting used to it after my little problem going up that second steep hill and getting stuck lol. I looked like a proper novice when i done that

That was FUNNY you getting stuck on the 1st hill we were all PASL watching you from the farm lol ,
As i said o you if it happens again then just roll it back and go down the hill and start again
I hope you got some Video's of me coming up the big hill ect i was loving it in 3rd flat out with the front wheel coming up was a GREAT RUSH but im paying for it atm <------ Real tears
Changing the Spokets on my bike has made ALOT of differnce i can tell you you realy have to hold on to it when coming out the corners now as the front wheel lifts in 2nd and 3rd when the power band comes into play

I've got 13 on the front and 51 on the rear
Thres parts of the track that hard to get to on a sunday to record on vid ect as its very busy to cross the track But on the back part of the track theres anther 2 jump and then some dips and climbs with some twisty bit which realy challange you
It flat is in the woods but then you have th VALLEY which is GREAT
I would say its more a Endro track then a Jumping track
It realy does take it out on your Arms and Legs alot i think everyone that was up there on saturday will all agree with me
Im still in pain now with my legs But i was up all night working so had no rest for 28 1/2hours

Ah gutted for your mate. Why did that happen? Old bike or something or just well unlucky?
Was speking to Stew last night and he was saying Chris came off and has broken his ankle the poor sod
#55
Didnt realise it was that bad thought he had just twisted it poor bugger!!
Not sure exactly why the ktm blew up, its an 03 so not all that old, dont think its had a lot of maintanence in its life so prob abit neglected to be honest

That would be spot on Alan cheers mate. Will be better if you can make it down aswell though as its a good crack with a few of us there. But it would be good to go anytime we like and get some practice in. Thanks
Also it was Gary that came off not Chris. Doesnt know if he has actually broke it yet because they couldnt do a scan as it was so swelled up lol
