this is the easiest way down the local mountain.

there are much harder and longer starts, as you can see.. it's a fun time.. not a *oh shit do I really have to hit this* sort of place

fatkid2000 · August 05, 2009, 08:15:41 am

It's a shame there was no footage of the shoot were you broke your ribs and hit some larger boulders.

A good place to get into it a bit more without the *gnar gnar* of wharncliffe.

fatdoc · September 20, 2009, 09:12:33 pm

Er...

Holy mother of god..

I've been to greno, and I have just backed off more than a dozen doubles.

F*Ckin hardcore.

Hope to get there with spine protector next time.

I've never seem shit like this is the UK.

Heaven help my soul.

fatdoc · September 22, 2009, 08:07:39 pm

OK,

not a dozen... 6. they go allll the way down to what looks like now death on a stick NS drop of sickness...

6 very either LARRGE gaps, or what seems *too little Up front face to travel that far* if you know what I mean...

Bubba · September 22, 2009, 10:35:45 pm

Where's this in Greno Jon?

fatkid2000 · September 23, 2009, 06:46:31 am

Is this what you're talking about FD?

fatdoc · September 23, 2009, 09:53:10 pm

well found.

er.. yes and no..

the first 2 are way small and desperate to clear ( me crash.. me hurty..)

the middle one has been rebuilt to be MASSIVE, as of last saturday.

met some lads there.. who swear the big un after is a simple float over if at only a reasonable speed... have to say I did roll in.. I want that one.

there are 2 more and a cool berm section below this bit.. with a 20ft shonky NS drop off at the end...

god, I love this stuff, shame I'm gonna real hurt trying it, probs next sunday!!!

fatdoc · September 26, 2009, 10:00:50 pm

well, the first 2 are now still desperate and after hooking up short in rather shite style..

I blew a full on DH tube into pieces, despite bolstering the rock step that makes the lip of the landing.

it's weird... one of those obstacles that you have to go for with speed, not scrubbing speed.. god they are only 50cm high..

me need to learn some doubles skills... respect to FBSF... he's near to a BIG one.

as houndkirk / all the peak is now a flat path I'm gonna tweek shit loads in greno from now on.. my kids think houndkirk so shite I'm building a set in greno for them...

WTF is going on

Fj · September 28, 2009, 11:59:18 pm

If it stays dry a couple of us should be heading to greno to check out this new stuff after work Wednesday night.
Anyone else keen?

fatdoc · October 04, 2009, 10:18:24 pm

Last call for next sunday ( the 11th)

small posse for cwmcarn.. all welcome.

I doubt the uplift is full.

last UKB DH gathering of the year, as the grit / my board is now cold enough..will be directing attention to climbing for a while after this.

we have a cameraman for the day...

book now for a fun day.. it's all very rollable.. more the merrier!!

Bubba · October 05, 2009, 11:38:08 am

I'm going to book Thursday - depends on overtime at work as I need money for something else at the mo. Would love to come though and feeling fit after a weekend of Welsh trail centres.
