droppinneutron - thank you sooooo much for putting this up. ๐Ÿ˜€

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?

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! ๐Ÿ˜†
If they do, don't worry Bart it I'll come back wi a diff name. ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†
