What can I say, sometimes things happen, reflex must had made me touch the back brake, I did not realized that I had, next time I keep my index finger well away. I was going back up to do it again when I realized that blood was leaking through the arm pad. I am going back 16th August for a second week. Richard and I both had three off's in the week, it sometimes is just down to luck what happens. Still got 5 good days cycling it. Not everything went wrong It Cost just under 200 euro for stitches and replacement dressings, not worth claiming at I have to pay the first £125 anyway. Maybe Richard could post a picture of his damaged coccyx Attachments:

righto fellas, collected the footage from Fell Tel this evening and here's my first effort based on all of Terry's footage. Don't Speak (I came to make a bang)Hope you like it. Hopefully it portrays how much fun we had but also how hot, dry and dusty it was too plus how my riding has progressed with the YT Capra under me. Leave some feedback for me please as I've still got another 40gb's of my own footage to sort through.. Took me a while to select the track but this one is based on the fact that there's very little sound on the footage. Tel, you need to replace the watertight back door on your GoPro with the one with gaps to let the sound in. Oh and set it to R3 (15:9 1080p widescreen) instead of that stoopid 4:3 ratio...

Great intro vid Muddy. It looks so dry and dusty as a contrast to last year. Personally not to sure I'd want to do a full week of the bike park downhill however, did you do any back country trails? Now that you lot have spent a week ripping drops, jumps, berms etc don't faff about here back home, get on it, keep your eye in and join the ugly crew when we get back from our alps excursion.

Now that you lot have spent a week ripping drops, jumps, berms etc don't faff about here back home, get on it, keep your eye in and join the ugly crew when we get back from our alps excursion. Hi Wobbem (when and why did you change to the single 'B'?) We mainly did bike park downhill and it was great! There was some cross country (rather than back country) e.g. the cross country trails from Morzine to Les Gets or on the other side from Morzine to Avoriaz and onto Les Lindarets but other than that not much else. The thing with the porte de soleil is that there's just so much there that you can do different trails all day if you want. there are some that inevitably you ride and ride again e.g. the return to Morzine from wherever you have been but they become like old friends as you get to know each and every bump, berm and tabletop. That for me also played a part in the growing confidence you get in riding drops, jumps and tabletops and allowed me to progress in my riding. Anyways, I'm laying that on the table as the option for next year and am planning on leaving Friday 8th July 2016 for riding Sunday 10th to Friday 15th July 2016. 48 weeks to go!
