Xen having a little rest and a sequence of Grace having a pretty big off on the kids track jump... Useless photographer took his finger off the shutter too soon, believe me the impact that followed was a beaut...

Thanks to littlejohn/oldschool medics for your assistance..

She rode back to the car and although a bit stiff, is hoping to ride again on Sunday.. Tough little cookie....

Thanks mate! Very Sloooowly getting the hang of the new bike and MXing in general. Not quite on your pace yet but improving I hope!

Dry Dusty as expected but Thunder was pretty rough I thought. The wash board areas where pretty bad in places. Mind you as the speed (and track familiararity) got up throughout the day, the faster you went over them the better! Not much challenge in the hills when its not muddy but overall was really good to ride with the faces I haven't met before. I shoulda gone up top and met the guys up there, sorry guys! Still haven't met Ktm boy and Dammad1 either. But really good to be out on a lovely day, riding!

PS Hope Sammikins isn't to sore today after her first real trip to a bike park and we didn't put her off by dragging her round the B loop. Good effort you go girl!
PSS She slept some of the way home LOL!!!

Now to see if I can slip out to the Sandpit Sunday???

Same, looks like it was super cool! Moving houses isn't nearly as fun

If my bikes back in working order by sunday (It's really getting beyond a joke now all the things that have gone wrong...) I'm taking it for one last hurrah at the sandpit. Blimin neat pix and lovely weathers got me gagging for it!
Edit: whoops wrong account, this is punch.

Thanks for the beaut shot of me hitting the water clmintie.

I hope Grace isn't too banged up after that spectacular off.

Amazing how everything is in slo-mo when something like that happens.
