Agreed, Not a reach problem, but a balls test.

And it's back on the list.
Has anyone tried Jacadi (dyno at Canche, your kind of thing Neil?). It looks like it could be fun if you had enough mats for a comfy landing.

I think I'll have to get this list down on paper over the festive period then publish it for critical comment in the new year.

Yeah I got confused Jacadi is further left isn't it? I mean the one just left of the roof crack 7a thingy. Your pretty tall right? I remember it looking much bigger than it does in your photos, but that may just be relative to my midget size :)

I'm over for 2 weeks at Easter, with friends for the second week but the first week is just with the wife so will be on the lookout for people to get out with. I'll give you a shout nearer the time and we could maybe meet up?

Yeah, but with a nice soft landing I could happily spend time just flinging myself around for a bit. I do enjoy a good ridiculous dyno or two.
And once I'm bored of that I can trog round the other side of the block for Rage Dedans.

rage dedans looks dreadful - I think even for someone in the stumpy demographic its very low, and long, so the lowness isn't even brief. think how much stick magic bus gets for being a low bit of shit, well this problem makes that look like tierdrop in comparison.

i dont think it is that long I am only 6 foot the 8a bit is hanging that sharp hold with out ripping you fingers off

I will leave it to easter and come do it with ya

the thing I likw about itm you can warm up on it, the landing is great, you only need 2 pads, and the crowds love seeing people try it

Aaaargh, more red pen on the list. I'm going to have to start a fresh one, this one's just a mess of crossing outs....

Sounds like a plan Neil, I'll let you know when we're over (but 6ft is officially cheatingly tall I'm afraid  :))

by all means have l'arrache couer back on the list. just trying to save you some time. plus for this problem thats not reachy it is a reach. wrap a beer towel round right knee for repeated goes on kneebar

yes dave take half the quote out to make me look foolish. the rest implied that people slag it off since they think it's easy, my point being it's not really is it?

Maybe L'arrache Couer should go on the list in pencil only, subject to a speculative attenpt before I claim it would be a path were it not for my short stature?
Does that seem like a reasonable compromise?

No-one said it's not reachy, just that if nik has a similar reach to judge banks then it's within reach.  :P

i suggest you take your finer points elsewhere and try shaking like a shitting dog up the training board. how a man can't lift 7 and a half stone of gingers finest is beyond me :-*
