I've finally succumbed to one of the many waves of viral horror sweeping through Aberystwyth. Proper man-flu this is, Mingin'.
Inspire me that there are better times to be had ahead, on bikes, in the sunshine or mud.. looking totally sick-as, dude.. ๐
I'll get the ball rolling. Me in sick-er days at the Kelieve 24hr back in 2009:

Rad to the power of sick, Jedi.
Totally gnar, Mr Jedi. It looks like you've been photoshopped into space. I can't quite work out how you've got there? Nice alignment with the downtube logo though. ๐
that picture is brilliant ddmonkey.. ๐
a new steve peat in the making there!
@chvck... bloody students indeed! ๐
Is that Clarach, by any chance? ...quite fancy a little play around there when I'm feeling perkier!
Indeed it is! There's all kinds of stuff over there.
ddmonkey - that has to be one of the best photos I have seen on here...
I love the total commitment... not even covering the brakes.
Cheers all! He was three then and is now 6. He's got some skills now, can properly jump small table tops, proper nose down landings and is very good on steep stuff in the Alps as long as its not too rough. He's better at skinny's than me...
ddmonkey - did your lad ride out of that move? I have a fear that he might have turned into it and introduced himself top the floor :Oo
I'd be proud to get out of it without bailing :O)
timbur yes he did ride it out, although he did go splat on one of the follwing attempts at riding through that little bombhole. He's always been good at dusting himself off and giving it another go, he's very determined to ride / clear sutff ๐
@messiah.. you wouldn't catch me riding down that in a month of Sundays. Looks gnaarrrl 8)
Looks like it's somewhere near that ST eco-destruction route in Scotland, possibly?

Nice 5lab, I was so bad at that section of A-Line, need way more speed than I'm comfortable with to clear that big set of 3 jumps. Pretty much every other jump down it is fine, just that section I was terrible at!
_tom_ that's on crank it up near the bottom. If you're thinking of the 3 pack that used to be the 4 pack (at the top, before dirt merchant merged with a-line) then I agree it was tricky - only really got them once this year, mostly just hung them up..
edit : just replaced that image with the paid version on Flickr, it looks like the old link stopped working. here's the new one

Oh right I think I recognise the section now, those last ones on Crank It Up are good but easy to overshoot ๐
