Nope that is my good friend Cath!
I wear a neck brace, have a black TLD helmet and only wear knee pads (not full armour) 🙂
But thanks for looking and I'm sure Cath will appreciate the photo!
looking good off that drop
Simons, in answer to the question who's that guy, well that's big Matt from 18 bikes. And a little aside on the journalistic front, Jon from justridingalong was racing on his 650b wheels... Not sure how he did though as I can't find any results sheets anywhere?
nick - si and matt are best mates - it was a piss take q
Results are on Roots and Rain

Jon got 2nd in Masters.
Is that two DH first in this race ?
First win at a DH race for a 29er and first podium at a DH race for 650b wheels ?
Cheers cruz, silly me!
How about this one

droppinneutron - thank you sooooo much for putting this up. 😀
I was hoping someone had got a pick of my not-so-successful attempt at the gap! I knew I was gonna struggle in the wet cos I barely cleared it a few weeks before in the dry, and that was when there was a pallet in the landing, but thought stuff it, gotta at least try in practice cos it would've definitely given me a few more seconds on my run if I could pull it off.
Would you mind if I use this as my facebook banner pic?
No problem use away! You got further over than my mate did (pic no 2018 here):

Haha that makes me feel better!
Thanks for the pic 😀
No im not trolling merely stating the facts.
all the pics i have studied show neck braces and a shed load of triple crown monsters!
it doesnt set a good example to the young ones,as they will be thinking this is what dowhill is then huh..will stick to bmx.
I was overbiked on my Nomad, which is why I left my V10 at home, but I took my Nomad because my other bike, a Cannondale Synapse (google it) would have been under biked.
It was a really good day out and I dont think a single person didnt enjoy it or care what its title was.

This is a very good point! Yes it was a good event and yes it was well organised but I think all pinhead is trying to say is it isn't a DH course! And he's right, it isn't, and what's happening with the sport is kids being mislead, then doing a "proper" DH course and ends up being out of his depth! Good point pinhead! Every ones entitled to there opinion whether it tarnishes a thread or not. So what! Big deal! It's a forum FFS. Get over yerselves.... Well they'll probly ban me again for this cos yer not aloud to state what most people are thinking anyhow! 😆
If they do, don't worry Bart it I'll come back wi a diff name. 😆 😆 😆
I rode it the other day,yes not very good but here you are,a big thank you to my colleague who actually lives in the heart of the mighty steel city itself for filming me.
i did require my full suspension system,but that is in the shop having new parts installed.im trying my hand at the downhill side of things now,hopefully i should get somewhat better
enjoy,
Excellent video !! Good riding fairhurst although you need to practice the drops.keep it up I'm sure you could enter the race next year
