I've been back for two weeks :(
I'm also thinking of swinging by Eleebana after Killi just to have a look about, never been to that track, it's still there right?

Last I heard it got pulled down and demolished by council. If not the track builders pulled it down to save all the materials. I was at Killy this morning and everything seems pretty good.

Yeah i've been out to Killi twice in the last two weeks, been about a 6 year break from downhill for me.
The track is pretty good still, some interesting new tracks out there, the drop and pallet berm is interesting.
The bermed section near the bottom is pretty fun and i made (as in got accross them, not as in modified) the jumps last time i was there which made me feel pretty good about myself.
Havn't lost tooo many of my skills haha.

You should go out there again tomorrow ;).
I'll be there with two mates, we are all slow though haha.

dont be stupid rob.

there is no chance you'd get anywhere past the second dirtjump at barnsley. maybe when they were tiny back ages ago when you told me you'd ridden them. however they are pretty massive now.

Backies into foam are alot easier than them.

also - I saw your old hardtail cruising around islington a week ago and then yesterday afternoon some smacky guy was sitting on it at the bowl with a girl that looked like a hooker. Diff forks. but still same micro drive and frame colour... its definetly your one though. had the dodgy rear tyre with the red sidewalls I believe

Had a good couple of runs out at Killi today, i think my fitness is slooowly returning to some extent to.
I was rather pleased with my own riding, hit a few drops and jumps and didn't stack it, i keep forgetting to take the camera out though.
Then went to central coast with some mates and bought a Specialized P2 and a DaBomb DJ frame between us.

ahh ha, i thought it would never turn up.
u got any more leads on that?? id like to hunt it down if at all possible.

and yeah, it was a while ago when i was doin barns on the aline, but they dont seem much bigger now? maybe they just seemed bigger cuz i was smaller. pete was doin the first 4 on his dually when i was out there the other day, very impressive.

the first few arent that big. its more the reaction time and steepness... but the rest you'd have no chance on a dually....

no more leads. I dont particularly wanna get stabbed by some smacky over a bike you got payed insurance for. I did note it going into a building. just as you cross hamilton railway tracks heading into islington on the right hand side it was going into a big building on the corner. this building also has some dodgy chinese and a strip club in it. prob not people you'd be wanting to fuck with.
