    You're at the Cli-machx, you do the full trail then go back up to Woodys wobble bit to ride the final descent again, you spy a big wodden berm thingie that looks a bit erm crazy.

    You all have a look, then first guy from the group has a go, a couple of trial runs then goes for it.

    Cue front tyre pinch flat right on entry and some over the bars – over the top of wooden berm action.

    Then the birthday boy bottles it big time 😆


    Shortly after this he broke the lower part of the rocker link on his Meta!

    Guy who normally rides anything bottles it too

    Leaving me to "nail" it after a couple of false starts, wikkid innit 😆 Cue bragging rights on the trip back home

    It's always difficult to commit after you've seen a mate stack it.

    He was fine, just a bit of wrist grazing and a new tube.

    All the gear, no idea!

    Glad you nailed it though

    Looks like the crash and/or poor grace caused the flat, not the other way round.

    I've got to say, at least the first guy is having a good go. Even your exit looks like you weren't commited to the berm, although I could be wrong.

    atp -> I wish, take one fireman, a tree surgeon, a landscape gardner and a rail engineer and you're there 😆

    TAFKASTR -> committed yes, good no! 🙄
