We seem to be taking turns lately.. My mate cased it on the big double and has stretched or torn something in his shoulder.. He went to sports med today and has an ultra sound tomorrow to determine how bad it is.. So theres a month or so rest for him.. haha.. Injuries are more frustrating than breaking parts on the bike.. All I wanted to do the other day was crack into our trail and hit the jumps but instead I dug, shaped and went for a grandpa ride down the dh trail near ours. But, it has been good in a way because I can't hammer into it, I've been concentrating on bettering my cornering and honing my riding technique so it has a plus side..

looking forward to watching the vids on this one, put your camera on the bottom of the jump pointing forward , will make for some good footage, even better in slow mo

at the bottom of the jump, so you get the view of the bike going over the camera landing on the other side.

Once my knee is better I'll see if I can get one of me doing a whip.. I've been practising my whips (well till I did my knee injury) and think I have it sussed now.. lol..
There is an awesome double at the end of our trail that throws you nice and high and has a long steep transition.. Great for throwing some style in.. (this an old photo of it on my fuel ex.. www.pinkbike.com/photo/8962612 )

I took my bike but only went for one gentle ride but no jumps.. Didn't want to aggravate my knee.. But I had satisfaction shaping my jump.. :-) I made that one a few weeks ago but didn't quite finish so the other day we built it a little higher and longer (1.5 x the session 8 in ramp length..) My mate jumped it a few times and it looked smooth as.. I really wanted to hit it. I even rolled into it a couple of times haha.. But just don't want to risk crashing while my knee is still healing.
