White Lines lucky escape!...

My last run... tired from a full days uplift the day before, riding in ridiculous heat (28 degrees is stupidly hot for the UK) and just waiting to f**k up!... was having a great run till a lapse in concentration occurred - just happened to be whilst hitting the biggest jump!... bugger!... but how lucky was I eh?... could've so easily gone the other way!...

 nice skills mate, luvin the huge '' phew'' after though, bit of a clenched moment by the looks of it.
Tidworths not to far either, whereabouts are the tracks in relation to the town ??

 cheers buddy... seriously could've done with that air bag you were sessioning then!... the nearest postcode to Tidworth Freeride is SP9 7TE... if you pm me once you're back in blighty I'll give you directions - but you should be able to find it from that postcode... it's south of the town and a members only site - I guess a bit like Rogate or Wendover where you can pay an annual fee or pay as you go... hope to see you there sometime!...

 You're supposed to land on the downslope mate and what happened to the next jump?!
  • + 1
 Appreciate the moral support buddy!... but landing straight would've be good too... and as for the next jump - thought I was carrying far too much speed again and didn't want to flat land that one too!... plus the jump is the chicken line - the pro line is through the bushes to the right!... but seriously, I was still computing what had just happened / or just been averted!...

 I see what you've done there... a play on words my friend!... but that was yesterday... however, it could've very easily been a proper job tho... and I would have been demoted back to canal towpath duty for a while no doubt!...

 Thanks buddy... and yep it is fun... only my second time there and have ridden three of the tracks on offer... think there's another three I haven't ridden yet so a return visit is a must... plus I'll have to face my fears and hit that bugger of a jump cleanly again!...
