Well I lived up to my engraving lol. I went hard then went home. Did cressy 3 times. On the 3rd I did both rock gardens without stopping (proud) but was too slow on the bottom jump ended up nosing over and landing on my right shoulder. Back is all grazed up. Shoulder is ok not damaged but in some pain. Looks like ice and rest for 48hours

Injuries aside! How did the bike pull up?

Bike was awesome. Handled my big frame and those rocky parts like butter. The drops felt really smooth. I gotta keep my finger of that brake though and trust more in the bike.

Good to hear! I recently bought the same bike and am amazed at how confidence inspiring it is. I haven't pushed it too hard yet but it's certainly handling whatever I put it through. Coming from a Banshee Scythe to this had me a bit concerned but it is has so far held up to the task and I can even pedal up hills now!

On the upside, you got to meet me. Bugger to hear. If bike was smaller, I'd give you a grand for it. :spy:

First ride after OTB

Well, the first ride back after the nasty OTB on cressy was great, shoulder did well, just did some lazy fun on the easy side of youies, took a mate who is just starting out in MTB so worked out well.

I must say i was very surprised how well the SAM peddled and worked on the flatter XC style tracks, with the rear suspension in the hardest mode it felt great.

a single OTB and a busted shoulder is not gonna put me off :) will still need a few weeks maybe 1 month on the easy tracks getting some strength back in the arm but I'll be back to do that double, its gonna be my goal to do it by this time next year.

Sweet! I'm planning a Thredbo trip over Easter if you're interested. Taking the missus though so not exactly a "boys" trip.. but between 10am-4pm I'll be shredding with no regard for life (or her).. You'd love the flow trail!
