  black mill photoset two

these are some more pictures taken at black mill

nd of the summer. i have had a lot of problems with the run up on my line, and they had to be sorted out before we could ride it. these pictures are taken after the new run up is made.

left - the first jump throws you really high, so you have to keep it low to carry the speed for the second which his really too small. the third is nice, steep lip so it kicks you up, but it's not long so you can relax and throw in some tricks.

i want to rebuild the line to sort it out a bit, but then it will be unrideable, so i guess i have to wait until it gets wet.

 

  
     

i am still getting used to having a yellow bike. it looks funny in pictures. above left - tim on the first, right - me on the third. below, two different lookback attempts. the bar keeps on whacking my leg, and its a bit bow legged as well, which seems to be a major problem with my riding. it stops me tableing flat and xuping.


arty picture which i like, but you might be annoyed at having to wait for it to download. sorry. if you think about it trails are weird. firstly, they are made out of mud, secondly they are a lot of hard work and thirdly you can't ride them half the year. i guess that's why most people don't bother. for people who live somewhere like me it's easier to have trails. the skatepark is about 10 miles away. on the other hand there are 3 sets of trails within a mile of my house.

below - tim does that sometimes - i think he should turn it into a turndown. on the right it looks like a i am mad about something, but i think i am going to urinate. if you look closely you can see the massive rip in the back of my shorts.
