Heading down one of our local trails it's normal to end up trailing a hand through the bushes to get on the right line, might have gone a little bit too far to the right on this occasion avoiding the rocks that my mate had set in motion and caught a solid branch or two.
Few scrapes and sore bits so think I'll take it easy today and watch the GP.

Before the other comments - entirely my fault, not planning ti sue the undergrowth and we laughed it off over a few beers later. Very glad I threw the knee pads on.

Are you going to campaign for compulsory waxing?

PS, I would feel sorry for you but that clearly was filed in some mystical land of dusty trails so I don't

Looks like you just jumped off the bike. That was a bit silly.

No need to, definitely no sympathy required. Going back through the video for the day it seems to have a laughter track on it.

and yes Hexhamstu it felt like I just jumped off my bike mostly becasue the bike stopped moving and I didn't.

Wide open trail.
You're a massive hommer.

Nice, I really need to get over there. Is that part of the blue dragon trail?

The noise you make as you come off seems a bit disproportionate to the crash. 😉

WWWUUUHHHHHH!

cheers Steve, had another on the 2nd run down and managed to bend a brake level. It was a good day out just one of those really.

It's part of the first bluedragon trail, bit too much for some these days I think looking at the field, the video doesn't really show how rocky it is (and the fact that they nearly all move) We did this and part of the day 2 route as a shuttle from the pub, got 2 laps in with 2 utes and trailers. Where are you based?

Can that even be classed as a crash?

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object..

You fell off

When you have ridden it you can piss take! A fairly safe claim as I reckon I know at least 25% of the people on here close enough to ride it 😉

Also Jamie what is the bandwidth on the stupid thing

That whole short video looked like trying to have a crash and missing for a lot of it! 😉 Good work!
