I know photos make things look easy. But come on, its not the hut drop in Morzine, its just a wall in a playground.

Does the hut drop in morzine have a flat landing and swings in the way? ๐Ÿ™‚

I live not too far.

My son could do that no bother on his BMX. He's 11.

Bring him along. Does he like his teeth? Being fair to me it's not quite as easy as the camera makes it look, the run up is short, the lip is off-putting, the landing is concrete covered in moss, slippery plastic and swings. The reason I cocked up the small one was in part due to the fact that on accelerating for it I wheelspan on the plastic but I'd committed myself at that point so went for it anyway with clenched buttocks.

GEDA - correct, the seatpost height didn't help but I don't think it was the main issue here, lack of speed and poor technique set me up all wrong for the little one and the bigger one is even harder to get set up for so it's going to take a bit more persuasion on my part. But I promise to keep you updated on my poor progress as soon as my new seatpost arrives ๐Ÿ™‚

Give me the address and when I get back to the UK we'll head on over.

We'll bring a blanket and sarnies and fizzy pop too!

Is there anywhere else nearby worth a visit for riding? Could make an afternoon of it?
