Tim thats a lefty I see, so didn't you sell it in the end ?

That looks like the new "Lump" they put in recently.

That drop isn't actually that high, couple of feet - it's a clever camera angle.

Stainburn is ace though - was up there last Sunday; great fun even in the freezing cold..

I've actually done that!

And that is a huge statement for me!

 Great camera angle!!!!

I was thinking that a hardtail would probably be a lot more fun/bit easier than a bouncy bike at Stainburn.

particularly so for the rock gardens in the woods where flumpety-flumpety long travel suspension just seems to upset your balance etc.

Tim

I reckon you git brain damage coming off the top of the old high level North Shore

and landing in the tree

Yeah,

My neck still hurts from that one!

Infact nearly all my aches and pains are Stainburn related (except my broken bones from motorbikes).

Maybe if I hadn't found stainburn I would be still riding my mint Cannondale today!!

Never mind I've got a bike now that is as fast on the ups as it is on the downs

Awesome and no pedaling!!

This is all I'm left with but she sure does ride better than the Cannondale and she wheelies for england!

Next pic nothing to do with mtb's but my son wanted everyone to see him with World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss

Ride hard!
