Whaaat??? you mean your wife, son and daughter aren't regular readers of DOMTB? Shocking. Oh well, surprised there were no takers for the question above but here's the answer to 'what happens next?'

You do the same thing ? It's a collection of crashed Capras combined with a couple of crocked cretins?* Didn't mean to sound harsh, but was struggling with the alliteration

Post by Richard on Jul 17, 2015 7:50:09 GMT
Ha-ha, no problem. Crocked crumblies would probably have been more appropriate. Nope I hit it up okay. in fact I was the first to hit it as Laurent who had been jumping everything was less certain on this but I'm more comfortable on these drops that require no skill, just commitment (oh and not touching your brakes Terry). I'll skip the gory pictures as Laurent has these but this is where we ended up

Easy as 1,2,3 Step 1: get a 'roid buffing Step 2: Check for correct sag Step 3: Voila, axe wound!

Easy as 1,2,3 Step 2: Check for correct sag Step 2 is quality The amazing thing is that he almost I say almost saved it from step 2. The back wheel was coming back down and he was controlling it but he veered right and into a ditch with a big pointy rock in it (see my pics above with the dust trail and Terry in a ditch)

so did the rock pierce the elbow pads or did the pads simply move about?

I dunno, El Tel or 'Fell Tel' as he should now be christened will advise on this bit.
Apparently the doc was complaining to Laurent that all the young lads were riding without any pads or protection cos a) it was a bit hot and b) cos it looks well cool to ride in just a vest top and no gloves. Well until you fall off that is and end up at the surgery.
Laurent, remind me how many x-rays they do there a day (yes a day).

Nice one Tel , good job it happened on the last day . I'm no expect but I'd say your way to far off the back to control your landing let alone steer . Fair play for having ago

Fair play for having ago Yep, sat on the back wheel and a handful of back brake on the ramp resulted in an impressive nose dive. As Richard said Tel somehow saved it and would have been fine if it wasn't for that ditch on the right. Rock went throught the mesh/soft side of the forearm pads, unlucky Anyway, top marks for having a go, it looked way more impressive in situ
