I decided to go for a quick session before dark in my favorite local site. Passed the Shred van parked uip in the track, thought nothing of it. While riding through the woods pass friendly rider and a guy with a camera bag walking out looking tired, exchange brief pleasantries and carry on to the base of my favourite run. Ashley is there and ask's if I passed Wade on the way in.... arse. didn't recognise him in the full face, just another rider on their way home.
Just goes to show how down to earth the scene really is, just a bloke out doing some sick jumps in my local spot.
20 mins earlier and could have caught him riding.
Having seen Ashley ride the course like a loon, the description he gives of Wade's performance brings home just how pedestrian I must look out there. But watching these guy's ride drives me to go faster, jump further and risk more. Not bad for a nearly 40 somthing bloke with a patched up spine.
