Tell me again how you stuffed up Axel.

G’day Galey, bit hard to know for sure. After looking at all the photos there’s bracken on a right hander coming up a rise. I’ve come through it reasonably quick (ok much quicker than usual) and eyes widened a little when the next thing was this pathetic branch. Instinct touched the brakes. I remember trying to do the usual “use it as a jump” trick but I think the weighting was all wrong. Next thing I know I was looking at the ground. Mate behind said I pretty much hand-standed into the ground.
I’m pretty sure the clincher was my camera and GPS hanging off my backpack strap right where the collarbone is. I no longer keep anything in that area anymore….

Everytime I look at the photos it gets me so pi*&ed off. Pathetic stack considering but hey, when it all goes wrong, it all goes wrong.

looks like a jump stick to me axel but it went wrong for you on that akaision big bugger :blink: have seen that bike do similar things before on small bumps often wonder if its bike set up .set the clickers on the suspension by the book and go from there i reckon

It is now. Sport settings. To the clicker. I’m going to get the stuff to Tekniks eventually. Want to time that when I’m off the bike getting the plate out. Then I’ve got 6 months until the holes weld over. Over summer I’m thinking.

That really sucks as Ive had really no probs with mine other than normal wear and tear probs.

And rear tubes seem to be an issue

Axel, Have you checked the loose nut behind the handlebars? I figured the same things was at fault for Micks big one and also my ejector seat issue.

There’s definitely one big loose nut behind my handlebars lol.
