Went for a spot of learning with Jedi Thursday & Friday, this is a new line he’s made.

So, would you give it a whirl? I would, but, my collarbone isnt really healed enough…😉

Can you even work out how it works? I have to say, even stood in front of it, I got it wrong first time…

No? Here’s the man himself doing it (not my video)

Mental. That top ladder is a good 20 foot in the air…

I'm currently a XC air-averse wuss and I'm pretty sure I'd be OK riding that, simply because I can see how it works and there doesn't seem like much that you can do wrong. It's a mind over matter feature, which is fine with me. Most of the other stuff that jedi has is a nope from me though.

Half my mind says yes; only the top bit is a seesaw, the rest is basically a steep slope. Other half says no; if something goes wrong it's a long way to fall.

I wouldn't even climb the ladder! It's an impressive structure though.

It didn't work properly when I test rode it as you can see. It works beautifully now. It's the end of a line we built in memory of a friend who used to ride there

C,mon Tony, lets see another video then 🙂

A fitting tribute if your friend was anything like you 🙂

Do you still teach stuff like corners and bunny-hops, I need a big old refresher course since that Bikemagic day all those years ago.

That's brilliant! Yeah, I'd probably ride it. Or a half height version...

No chance. I don’t believe corroded has looked at how the lowest saw sends jedi into a drop off, at speed, which means even he gets put off his line into the berm. But hey, it’s nice to kid yerself 😉

It's a wonderful piece of engineering but... nope.

Think he’d struggle with the run in, too…

You wouldn't get me up on top of that even without a bike.

A fun tribute to my brother who died recently. Feels like a good enough reason to me.

That line is phenomenal! Impressive piece of engineering to make that work…

Haha, quite an imaginative structure. Good work, looks a bit sketchy for me I reckon.

I'll be booking on again Tony, that though looks a little rich for me 🙂

Good to see the place thriving still 👍

That is superb (no way I'd ride it you'd be scraping me off the floor before I got to it - or more likely running away quite fast the other way).
