Adams Arrival and poor bike handling skills

So as more and more friends arrive, this must mean the fast approaching date of the Mega Avalanche. The big race of this summer on the mountain bikes. So yesterday Adam arrived.

He arrived in some fancy party gear that i think he had been wearing to a 'Specialist' club the night before.
So off we went to Les Orres, as we have not ridden there yet. Was great to get out on the DH bikes again, the tracks were great. We all got on really well and speeds and confidence improved as the day went on.

Above is me on one of the drops on " No4 Black". I slightly over cooked this one, came into it with way to much speed and completely missed the landing ramp and flat landed it. Due to this, I then decided it was time to crash in spectacular fashion and Adam (who took the picture above) very nearly got taken out. If it was not for his cat like reflexes and his ninja like roll I would have got him a treat. Thankfully I was not hurt due to the amazing amount of skill compensator's that I was wearing!

A great day. Following on from yesterdays photography motivation, we had a brilliant thunderstorm last night. So I thought I would have a go at capturing some lightening. So I got all my camera stuff out and set it up. Then the storm just abruptly ended. Bugger. Next time
