I’ve heard my self say it:
“I’m on the wrong bike”.
Knowing full well I wouldn’t do it on a bleedin Session 88.
Also, about the same drop –
“There’s no point going down there, you have to walk back up again”

Sounds like the Dalby Gil drop lol?

“i’m a big girls blouse, deal with it”

“I’ll do it next time”

“i take less risks now with a 9 week old at home”

I broke my hip when my daughter was 9 weeks old, at the local jump spot.

that was a tricky call home…

Why! Did she answer the the phone?

I’m not stupid or immortal.

Why! Did she answer the the phone?

I wish, unfortunately my wife did;

“Errrm, I fell off my bike and I’ve hurt my leg. I’m in an 4×4 ambulance but once I get my breath back and this dead leg goes away I’ll be coming home”

She wasn’t fooled and asked to speak to one of the paramedics.

Coincidently;

For the 4 days I was in hospital following the op to have my leg reattached my daughter refused to do a poo.

I got home collapsed on the sofa had daughter sat on my good knee and then, within about 2 minutes, she let the entire backlog out.

We virtually had to hose the lounge out afterwards.

Amongst mine are:

1. “my cranks aren’t warrantied for jumping”
2. “there is a weight limit on my wheels – they are not for jumping”
3. “my collarbone is still strengthening”
4. “my bikes a bit nervous on the steeps, with a 70degree HA and 100mm forks”

I do find problems mostly on steepish stuff where it has been loosened up by people with much fatter tyres than me, really justifies excuse 4 justified when combined with narrow xc tyres.

My Flux frame never came with stickers so to the casual observer it looks like a 5 spot, even though the forks are 100mm.

So I plan to get some Flux stickers on it to give me some justification for wimping out.
