 That is quite impressive! I played a game of 'who can clear Ski with the shortest run up' before and all went fine until I smashed the back wheel on the log. I came off better than you though, just a very slight wobble in the wheel lol

 I wish it was just a wobble! It went bang so load! The light was real bad....I think it affected my judgement....no excuse but hey excuse for a new rim.

 How did you come up short though? You can roll from the corner and still piss it or pedal and stay low. Or did you just take a different line into it entirely? At least it wasn't a half-hearted attempt at destroying it! lol

 You've probably seen the comments above but I just was going too slow. I'm a big old unit at 13 someodd stone. But no didn't get hurt, pretty much rode out of it, kinda feel off comedy style to the right.

 That's what every one wants to know including me....I commited, I think cause the light was low (almost dark) I totally miss judged the speed & thought I was going quicker than I was. Hung up like a beast.

 Yeah I bet, my mate Andy taco'd his wheel and we had to bend it straight so it'd turn in the forks. That when off with a bang while trying to straighten it
