hahah I couldn't believe it. I honestly thought I was going fast enough to not need to shift my weight to the back of my bike. I remember landing it and being pleased with myself, to then be thrown on the floor by my bike lol

I'm quite happy on tabletops and small gaps mate, it's the bigger gaps and doubles that I'm a tad wary on at the moment. TBF I would probably be more confident with flats but can't really justify the £100+ for a decent set and shoes at the moment.

Will definitely be better when I'm not worn out and wearing that core saver, it's stupidly heavy. Very Happy

Fark all armour ftw!

This made me laugh. My mate was made by his parents (when he was a LOT younger) to wear armour at a DH race when he doesn't normally wear a full body suit. The armour caused him to crash because he couldn't move around on the bike as well. He broke his collar bone because of the armour. Laughing

It's true, TBH I'm happy with knee/arm pads. Maybe in the future I'll be able to justify some properly lightweight armour for hitting the really gnarly stuff but not at the moment.
