    Went to this at the weekend. All I can say is there's some out and out crazy fcukers on bikes out there. Walked the track on Saturday morning before practice and that rock drop off the start line is just unreal. I thought I was handy on a bike before I saw these guys!!

    Big up goes to 1) The chap who went head over heals on said boulder on his hard tail got back up and motored on.
    2) The chap who up-rooted the tree stump I was sitting beside with his head, and got back up carried on.
    3) The legions who binned it on the finish line on the last jump.
    4) Everyone there, marshals, competitors and spectators for being really friendly and great laugh.

    As my GF remarked about the spectators there, I've never seen so many people with crutches or arm plasters in the same place. :)
    Will be going to the next one for sure.

    Thanks Caroline! I had a great day, course was amazingly good fun and managed to avoid a massive crash at the end. I will stick up a video when it gets finished. Here is a pic of me on the final drop:

    My friend was there and he broke a motocross helmet in a crash!
    He went to the red cross, complaining of head and back pains and they told him he was fine before they even looked at him!
