 @dirtyrig: he mate I just watched this again.I have spent the best part of three hours in the shed playing with and tuning my bike looking forward to a ride in 10 days (yes I'm counting)....just wondering how the back pulled up after this ride? lots of jumping off drops and some rocky ground must of been a big test

 @samjam: My back thankfully did well during and after the ride, I was very surprised. It hurt trying to hop over logs and on steeper sections where I had to crouch low, but the drops and jumps we're totally fine! I'm counting the days for you buddy, your bike must be clean and tuned to perfection! I hope those 10 days go by quickly! I don't know if you felt the same way, but not being able to ride made me appreciate the sport even more, so many great memories and life long friends have come with the help of 2 wheels, it's crazy and awesome when you think about it.

 @dirtyrig: my lay off the bike has been extended by 4 days but that's ok.So glad to hear your back came through.It must have been stressful wondering how it would handle riding.Yeah mate , just about all my close mates are from riding.I think its easy to understand a person when you share their passion . I mean look at us hahaha......im genuine in concern for you and your back and thin of you often hoping the worst is behind you and you can continue pumping out great vids and enjoy the trails

 Thanks bro and you're correct, little by little. Still have a lot of physical therapy core exercises to go, but the ride gave my hope a big boost.
