Wolfie & I hit up Black Fellas Hands for a midweek ride.
Conditions were perfect with a storm the night before.
Wolfie rode really well tackling almost everything the trail threw at us.Wolfie ran a GoPro and has some pics & vids to share. I took the first 12 pics with my new Nikon AW100, then Wolfie’s follow.
Here are the pics to get you started.

November 30, 2012 at 8:30 pm #233076Top work Wolfie.
Sir Galey has to go.
I went through your vids and it shows you riding well with a steady throttle hand with no major stuff ups.
The Spanish Steps is one you can tick off the list Wolfie. Stopped at the bottom, walked up and had a good look to pick your line then a measured run up the exact line stopping at the last step. A quick rethink after a fail, then a new line and then you were gone and waiting for ME at the top. Nice work mate.Wolfie, did you click on the link to see the pics on photobucket?

Marty Monster loves the rocks, thats why we call him The Stone King! I will need your guidance on sat to piece together this loop MM. No Cruisers MM?????
Wolfie, the GoPro angle was spot on and wasnt affected by the knock. You will eat it up next weekend. Just take your time and not worry.
