Bang crash wallup!

Hungover as hell.

That's pretty much the headline today... Headed north to Lee Quarry with Kev and Chris (fellow hangover sufferers) to meet up with both Ross and Steve Larking.

The weather stayed fine, the trails were grippy and worn in, the lines flowed and all had fun and felt 'on it' at one point or another.

Kev and Steve started sessioning some ghetto lines in the freeride area, and after a few runs for camera Kev really found his flow and was looking mega cool... things ended in a bang though when the bike lost it's footing on a landing and sent him down hard. Nasty graze and shook up but otherwise ok!

Later in the ride after more berms and jumps and a session on the pump track Steve was larking around (pun intended) jumping into the quarry - whilst it looked awesome on video there was a nasty sound on impact and once he stopped he'd lost the rebound damping in his Pikes! With a serious competition to attend on Monday - his reason for stopping by the North West (en route) we headed back to Macclesfield where we swapped over my Pikes to get him running again! Good luck Steve!

Good ride in general though, fun, my favourite being chasing the jump kids down the singletrack at the end and passing them twice!
