    heres a bit of video from the weekend. its fultons track and army track.
    i was having a ball chasing Billt around and giving him a nudge :laugh: :laugh:

    my bars are already twisted by this stage and the fork is already hanging out. its about 50km into the ride.

    it made me feel a little queezy watching it. knowing how hard id hit stuff through the day.
    its probably lucky i was sweeping as i was only rolling the windrows mostly. some of the ones i would usually launch off are 8 foot high….

    to think what could have been……

    the moral of this story is never work on your bike half pissed and excited :(

    heres some footage of donnellys creek track. it it bloody beautiful. too nice to fly along. there are about 5-6 huts scattered along the track and it follows alongside the creek…

    just a magic place.

    and i still hadn’t noticed my forks were buggered.

    the shitty rattling sound is my chain guide. well i can hear it anyway :laugh: :laugh: it was annoying me all day.

    Hey Menace, maybe you are onto something that could be developed. The sliding triple clamp suspension system.

    STCSS for short. :laugh:

    “and to elaborate for the lazy……”

    You calling me lazy?….You know I know nothing about computers ;) ;)

    That was one of the best rides I have been on it had everything and with any luck the more I ride in that area it may cure the fear I have of step downhills, I was starting to handle them well by the end of the day…thanks Menace for your help and encouragement :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Only one small off for the day and I got very wet 😆

    It was a pitty you missed the race back around the lake and for 6 buggered riders we were flying through the sand, it was a hoot :woohoo:

    Also Menace great vid’s, do you have any more? Can you burn me a copy?

    yes, i missed the un-official race back to camp. it happens every ride and always is wicked. :laugh:

    of course you can have copies mate, i still have the raw footage too. but it isnt much more than that…

    i was to busy being excited and trying to stay upright to take any more footage :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    There is steeeeeeper!!!!…..I was getting nose bleeds where we were and I think I filled my pants a couple of times when I was stupid enough to stop and look down. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I would love a copy just to show the good lady what we actually do when out riding….she has no idea ;) ;)

    I new I should have given you a hand to put your bike together now after looking at the photo’s 😆 …Maybe next time you will take me up on the offer, at least I know how to do my bolts up and I also use loctite. ;) ;)
