You're at the Cli-machx, you do the full trail then go back up to Woodys wobble bit to ride the final descent again, you spy a big wodden berm thingie that looks a bit erm crazy.

You all have a look, then first guy from the group has a go, a couple of trial runs then goes for it.

Cue front tyre pinch flat right on entry and some over the bars - over the top of wooden berm action.

Then the birthday boy bottles it big time ๐Ÿ˜†

Shortly after this he broke the lower part of the rocker link on his Meta!

Guy who normally rides anything bottles it too

Leaving me to "nail" it after a couple of false starts, wikkid innit ๐Ÿ˜† Cue bragging rights on the trip back home

It's always difficult to commit after you've seen a mate stack it.

He was fine, just a bit of wrist grazing and a new tube.

All the gear, no idea!

Glad you nailed it though

Looks like the crash and/or poor grace caused the flat, not the other way round.

I've got to say, at least the first guy is having a good go. Even your exit looks like you weren't commited to the berm, although I could be wrong.
