MegaAvaLaugh 2015 – VIDEO

The 2015 MegaAvaLaugh charity bike ride took place on Sunday. The rules? Fully grown humans on kids’ bikes only. This year they were raising money to support the family of ten year old Tye Hawkins, who was recently struck by a motorcycle and hospitalised. The MegaAvaLaugh is always for a good cause, and it looks like a phenomenal amount of fun.

Here’s a long edit from Jason Hewitt, well worth it for the “whip-to-balls” landing, some big drops, and a few successful 360s.

They also did dual slaloms with an extra procedure at the start. Reckon it’ll catch on?

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
