Just to straighten things up about crashing Connor’s bike. As you saw it was very wet, I came scarping down a trail that I know very well, only to round a corner to find a head of a tree across the trail. This particular section is greasy red clay, I managed to wash a ton of speed off but not enough and was faced with two options, 1: plough head first into the head of the tree or 2: bin it into some ferns growing beside the trail. Option 2 is what I took, the trouble was these ferns were about 8 feet tall and were obscuring the fact that there actually was a big bank there and the YZ disappeared down over the bank in slow motion, landing in a soft bed of ferns and vines that stopped it from disappearing further down what was a huge steep hill. The ground was that slippery I battled to retrieve the YZ on my own as I could hardly stand up on the greasy red clay and the vines had wrapped themselves around the bike.
BTW Connor had already crashed it twice before I had a go at it. Anyhow we still had a ball!!Here is another pic of my favourite up hill trail anywhere on the coast. It is steeper than the photo depicts and it has some perfectly shaped erosion mounds on it.
