ok, \the reason i crashed WAS because of the root, but there is no one to blame for the root, it could have been dug up by frequent riders, so thats the end of that

Bomber Man, just quit dreaming of roots.

Think of pink faeries and candyfloss instead.

Dave will never pick a name that I pick.....Smoke, there is some history there ha ha.He's a good shit though

All Powers riders!!!!! Go check out Fat Badge now......Fluid and I have finished up the new stunt on it.It's a 12 foot gap (almost identical to Skidmark) to butter tranny and a wood/dirt berm coming into it

it's called "BALL GRAVY"

And there is a Sissy Path on it not to worry! Enjoy

Great, but is it REALLY gay ?

And what colour is the stunt, is it green, cuz only Dave can build green stunts -it's the law.

It can never NOT be your fault if you crash on a mountain bike PERIOD. I hit a tree once, does that make it the tree's fault that I crashed? Anyway, it's silly to blame other people (or the building) for your faults, leave that for the angry moms.

i never said i wasn't my fault, k, final word of this, after this were dropping it

it was my fault that i was poorly positioned on the bike when i landed, it was no ones fault that there was a root there, this is part of the sport, things like this can be prevented by regular maintenance, the trail had been i lil run down, so maintenance can help prevent injury.

dose ant really matter because i will probably never ride gillard again because powers is currently better in my opinion, good job powers builders, there will be a BBQ for all the build crew on sunday, so come help out, this is ure last chance


i will be personally over-viewing the operation
