Ben The Ninja Does The Friston Road Gap

Ben hitting the friston road gap! Huge props to Ben as for those who haven't seen it, it's a lot bigger than it looks with a dodgy run in and an even dodgier landing!

 Awesome awesome gap mate!!! Looks like he needs to go jsut a little faster!! Props for the big gap!! RideOn!
  • + 1
 Yeah the run in has quite a few roots and stumps, a flat corner and a bank to pump down before crossing the path to the gap, so it's quite easy to lose your speed, especially when it's really dusty like it was then! So much scarier when running up to it, so massive props to Ben for hitting it Smile

 1. my point still stays valid he cased it, 2. i have the right to critise seen as i have done that gap, 3.conor if youv got something to say you can say it to my face you little fucking cunt , all you do is ride that shitty patcham and your still shit!
  • + 2
 Point 1. he still did it. point 2. you have the right to constructivally criticise (look it up on the pinkbike terms and conditions if you must). and concerning point 3, i would - if it was practical, but where do you live? i don't know. where do you go? i don't know. am i going to put time aside to waste it on a pessimistic, critical c*nt that is you? No. other than that, i did build patcham, but i built it to suit my, and my friends riding capabilities, not yours. i don't care about you. you can die of cancer for all i care. do you have a place that you put sweat and blood in to biuld so you and our friends can have fun? No again. you are a rat.

 was not ment to be taken seriouly , i was trying trying to put across that alot of riders hit that, also i wouldent say iv done it if i came up as short as he did , not taking away the props for doing it , and give it a rest conor you a 15 year old little prick , stop acting like a big man , iv met you before and i know your a little kid, keep digging...
  • + 2
 ok, but in ben's defence i would stay he still did it (3 times) as he actually left the take off and landed mainly on the landing (we were there!) and also not that many riders hit do hit it, only a few do, most don't want to do it! and we would know as we spend most weekends up there by it! So massive props for anyone who's left the take off!! And another thing, we love conor! and when conor digs, cool and fun things to ride start appearing and everyone's happy! Smile
