and welcome back Mr Graham Austin who a little over a year ago broke his back on Hamhill,today nailed every thing on the hill,hats off to ya for your focus and determination to ride again :thumb: an inspiration :D

always entertaining,in a heart stopping kind of a way sometimes:D :fu: :D
Well as the topic states 'the best day yet' but i think today came close, if not the best yet! real good days riding, and i think everyone rode until they couldnt stand up properly!
Building done
Rode a santacruz vp free!
rode a brooklyn!
came into contact with the ground
learnt table top kinda things
had a tree fall on top of me!
disfunction dirt came
i think thats it!
as i said a top day
had by all!
i reckon it doesn't get much better than that 9 riders all rippin it up........that brooklyn!!! i must have one!!:cry: what a bike,it cornered the berms like nothing else i've ever ridden. :devil:
i managed to push my own riding by sorting the woops without casing any of it..........well cool :w00t: and the landing to the new jump "stuka" is now finished :thumb: well done everyone what a great day :hombre:
and i bet all the sycamore saplings wish they could run out of the way when they see Charlie riding towards them :fu: i'm not sure santa cruz had tree felling in mind when they built the vp free! :w00t:
Yea sorry about that Ben, But had a Hucking fantastic day inspite of the odd mad moment.
Good to see a great turn out and with such fine bikes!!!
But as for the tree felling, the vp is more than capable, wish i could say the same for my shifter.

yellow super x
ooh nice, will we be seeing it up the woods sometime sime?
did you get customized gussets or didnt bother?
this summer has had some great riding days and today was one of the best,dispite my riding being very sketchy,the welsh lads turned up with the helmet cam as promised,we got some really excellent footage including some great crash moments :D and did loads of work on the woops and the weather was perfect :devil: it doesn't get much better than that :D
yes a great day, again! helmet cam was great fun, and the crashes are well worth £250
I enjoyed the time i got. Wouldnt mind seein some of the lid cam film when it is ready. Got more to work up to now though
yep count em! it don't get much better than that, the conditions were like summer,:D apart from the tempreture :fu: very fast rolling,awsome for dec, i saw a couple of first's today,well done dave for nailing KFC for the first time and a big hand for i think one of the most developed riders this year Ken for nailing forktop for the first time :ymachine: from xc to hucking 7ft drops inside 9 mths at 41, nice going dude :D
and also always nice when disfunktional dirt reprezent :devil:
what a brilliant day!!!!:afro:
and a big thanks every one for timber lugging etc :thumb:
and Sime made a superb new "patio" :D
Put it this way that patio's much funner than the patio outside my house:D
I agree. Today was awsome and i am well chuffed with my dad doing FT2!! Well done for doing KFC too(was it dave?) that is a real hard one i think>nice one:):thumb: . Sime did well on the patio too that is gonna be a well fun thing to finish triple t with when i can clear it!!
oh i almost forgot,a big thanks to Ken for the piping hot chicken and veg soup that he made for everyone :D
Cheers baker i found KFC easier than sister:? i don't know why that is but thats my opinion. Good soup aswell although there was not much chicken to be found in the soup
superb day and, as mr fish says the best conditions for a while, like summer!, thanks to ken for the soup, couldnt be more ideal timing on what has to of been one of the coldest days yet? and thanks to the disfunktional dirt crew for the brooklyn, stinky finger (dont ask!) and the V10 oooh and of course Mr Fish :thumb: :D
Great afternoons riding once again.
Fun new jump at the bottom of the new line that keeps you wanting more....adapt to that run in damn you cried the dark voice in my mind on every attempt :devil:
Well done to the lads who acheived their own personal goals as well :thumb:
Unfortunately we won't meet up on the 28th at hammers due to logistical matters :cry: but no doubt we will in the near future.
On that note, I wish you all a merry christmas, a happy new year and here's to a quality 2006 in terms of riding and building.
ben
the look on Kens face was a picture, happiest man in the land and rightly so same goes to Dave its great for all involved when people achive personal bests and get hot soup too :O)
Last Sunday was fantastic. I finally did Forktop - Thanks Fish for the excellent coaching and sympathetic encouragement. If Fragy thought my face was a picture after I'd done it, he should have seen it just before - pale I think!!! Flying off the side of the first up-ramp on splashdown, I was already laughing and couldn't get the grin off my face all night. Can't wait to do it again, the sooner the better. Aint bikes great.

Well done Kenny, i know when i first did it i was buzzing. U got the bug now man, for sure...
for those people who thought they might come up today and then didn't for whatever reason,you missed a fantastic day on the hill it was sunny all day and with just four focused people the first turn is now more or less sorted and works oh so sweet :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: great vibe,great company and great progress :tune:
seconded, awsome day even better berm and the Twisted tree trail is becoming a favourite is(n) my opinion, on the odd occasion when its dry enough to ride properly (like today) its a whole new ball game! and Sunadays is forc(e)ast the same, i think a priority is to get the hand rail extended on the roll down ;) aswell as other 'goodies' added to the twisted tree trail
*.......:rtfm:
It was running quite fast and it was reasonably dry last saturday. I wanted to get down today but my dad was on nightshift so he's been in bed a majority of today. But i'm down tomorow:D
Yeah sorry I couldn't come up today, I couldn't get a lift but I will be up there bright and early tomorrow, well early for a Sunday, Is anyone else going to be there?
How dry was it today? What were the berms like at the lower end of the flow show?

Have i missed anyone out?
Yeh it was a great days riding yesterday. So great infact i didn't realise that my back tyre got a weird puncture and it only let some air out and the tyre was still rideable but soft:confused: The culprit was a small metal splinter that i can only imagine i got from some chicken wire, still it was a great days riding with loads of people there
Yeh i agree with everyone else. Sunday was awsome. The new burm is really smooth and the tracks are quite fast. I am finally getting back to the things i used to do on my saracen. STILL HAVEN'T DONE FORKTOP THOUGH >:-(
