There's not been an ambulance up there for 8 years.
I was told that if you bin it at Herts, they just chuck you in the road and tell the paramedics it was a hit and run, mind you this was a few years ago now

i'd love to come up tonight jedi but i've got no camping gear and i wouldnt be able to get up until late and after dark (dont fancy setting up a tent in the dark if i were to buy one!)... if i've got time at work this morning i might see if i can find a hotel room for the night nearby
Posted 9 months ago # -

:)
see you tomorrow and just dont worry.Posted 9 months ago # -
ohhhhh how late will you be there? if i find a hotel and drive up this evening then i'd prob want to do a test on if i can find the place to make it easier in the morning

a nice end to the day i reckon

Phil will be fine, you just need a cup of his magic coffee, then ask Jedi about me binning it 3 times today
Each time exactly as you say in your first post, getting drawn into looking at wheel then washing out
But got up tried again and largely nailed it, absolutely great day, just wish I'd done it years ago as I now know exactly where I've been going wrong and can't wait to get out there and put it into practises
Loved hitting the drops and the step up too, especiAly the bigger drop into the last corner, I never would have done that this morning
Like others said, you decide what and when to do it, although Tony will slow things down without you realising if he feels it's needed
I stil can't believe what I really had to think about doing this morning was becoming second nature by the end of the session, I still haven't figured out what or how he achieved it, I'm not normLly one to learn so quickly!Posted 9 months ago # -
well... i wont write a review just yet, it was a bit of a spectacular ending to the session and i'm in a fair bit if pain so i'll wait until thats died down
'Jedi broke phil! what a monster!' i hear you shout... not true
i did ze tabletop with the style and grace of, dare i say it, something more awesome than an awesome something. it was several meters after a tasty run out from the tabletop i managed to throw myself through the air and damage myself, luckily its the left shoulder and wrist not my recently fractured right shoulder huge adrenalin burn out and more pain than i wanted to let on to Jedi signaled the end of the session just as the rain arrived.looking forward to reading my write-up/blog thing when Jedi posts it
riding is more awesome than surfmat ever was, this is a medical FACT
Posted 9 months ago # -
The question nobody dare ask... did Tony get it on camera?
Looking forward to the write up - I expect pictures of cats demonstrating good looking and footwork skills.

falling off 50meters past the tabletop after sailing it sweetly dont count as a fail. i thought it was a belly slide celebration!
Posted 9 months ago # -
i wanted to impress you with my superman impression
forgot to unwrap the bike from my legs mid-air though... some would say mentally tired, others just mental!my shoulder is completely shot though, not going to lie.. prob be 2 weeks before i can ride on it again if it heals at the same speed my right did when i did the same a couple of years ago. cant wait to get back on though
Posted 9 months ago # -
hope your shoulder is sorted soon.
I'm currently sat in my tent supping a beer @ Jedi's trails whilst browsing t'web.
Looking forward to tomorrow's riding, I hope the coffee pot's gonna be full, reckon I'll need a kickstart in the morning!
Posted 9 months ago # -
cheers andy
I hope the rains died down for you... could only see about 20 meters in front of the car for 50ish miles of the 70 mile journey home! you'll have an amazing day tomorrow, the coffee is pretty special too
Posted 9 months ago # -
rain was mostly ok on the drive down, a few heavy showers but think I timed it about right as there's no rain here now
Posted 9 months ago # -
schweeet, enjoy it tomorrow

If you don't have the time or inclination to practice crashing, you'll never get good at it. Perhaps a 'how to crash' section should form part of these skills days.
