Bang

Last pre Fort Bill ride today, and headed to GT as usual (I love saying that!). Took the Cove, and i'm loving the HT action so much. There were a few tricksters around, so was good to watch and learn.

Warmed up qucikly and got some props for my style, always good when someone bigs you up for your first run! I tried a few new tricks, dunno what ye call them tho! Sessioned a few areas of the the track, and was flying high on the wall ride on the Cove for the 1st time. Best move of the day was a manual I landed and held coming off one of the tables at the top. It was by accident tho! About twenty minutes later I was trying it for real and got my weight too far back and BANG, i had my worst ever crash (worse than Inners hi speed incident!)! My back aches, i'm torn to shreds from running down the track on my back, and my lower back is all bruised from the impact. I was winded and my hearing went funny at one point! Cheers to Sam and the guys for checking I was alright. Great to get respect for pushing the limits and casing it too, LOL!

Met Sam and his mates filming stuff, didn't catch the NZ bound guy, but his style was sick, shame I didn't get him in a snap.

Anyways, the HT rules, I'll be back on it soon, just dunno how fit I'll be for riding up north, doh! Really feeling The Cove and despite the forks, its all about the technique, so GET ON YOUR HARDTAIL and PIN IT!
