Out The Front Door - an unexpected neck brace test!...
This was the second run on a track called Hooper Groove at Tidworth Freeride, our lines weren't dialled yet (they rarely are) and conditions were pretty slippery… I stopped at the midpoint and my buddy (Andrew) snuck past into a drop and then on towards the jump line… I saw an opportunity to get some good footage of him hitting the jumps… so took off in hot pursuit…

Yep I'm ok… and thanks for asking… I was lucky I guess and learnt today that I still bounce, even at my age… feel like I've been in a fight tho… have a bruised thigh and a sore shoulder and wrist but rode out the rest of the day… and had a great time... will post a more flattering edit of the ride when I get the chance...

I had no idea it was taking place to be honest… otherwise may have given it a go… as it's certainly a fun track… out of curiosity, where was the finish line?…
and can I assume you ride at Tidworth then?...

The finish was pretty much where you stopped in your other video, maybe another couple of meters, from what I remember the quickest runs were under a min..
I've just moved in to the area (Bulford) so I'll be riding there more often, I'm a bit sketchy at the min not had a chance to ride much, and haven't ridden anything wet for some time, but it's a great area...

Crikey... sub one minute's very impressive… & a good track to spectate I imagine...
and Bulford's just down the road eh!… lucky you… you should have that place dialled in no time!… wet / dry and eyes closed!… although some of what we were riding on Sunday was proper greasy… a good test tho!… & if you've not ridden wet for a while, then there's nothing quite like being thrown in the deep end eh!…
plus the scene there seems cool too… Phil's a really nice guy with some great ideas for the place… think that was my third visit… but I definitely aim to be back and sooner than later...

Couple of guys came over from France for it as well, yeah your right it's a great scene there, they have another dig day on Sunday, wanting to finish General Burminator and change the push up line...
