Unlucky chuck! Sounds like you have really had a bad day, typical bosses eh.

Hope you can just chill out over the weekend to try and forget it.

By the way, what sort of downhill racing are you into?

i used to do a bit of local dh and also some in the welsh dragon series , i had a well trick intense uzzi dh and a muddy fox rock and roll ultimate plus some other training bikes but sold up due to a bad knee , i should be buying another bike after christmas as my knee is much better now .

I do a fair bit on the old mountain bike as training for my ski-ing, but never done any racing...too scary!

another biker cool

i've used 2 do down hill but never actually raced, just riding local stuff and tracks @ national races with mates

now into bsx and just all out stupid jumping etc.

i got a 24seven for that, no gears, one brake and loadsa fun, weight's a ton though considering it's a hardtail.

and ur a lucky bu**er for owning and intense, i've always wanted one or a turner burner (when they used 2 look good)

 

[Madskiair]

Roly, I hope you wear a helmet considering!!!!!! :g

 

[roly]

NEVER :no: well sometimes

i got a full face lid for the dh runs but it's usually a silly little potty lid or me cap or nowt

funnily enuff whenever i crash me bike i only end up peeling layers of skin off hands, arms, legs etc never mashed me head or face up (well not yet anyway)

I am a new boarder... did pretty intensive learning programme for it this season and just need to complete the advanced boarder course next season and then see where I go.. boarding is quality.. proper adrenaline buzz.. had always wanted to do it until last year when we made the choice to go and learn.. picked it up quick and aint looked back..

I need a new board, boots and bindings... gonna change to 'step-ins' as I have blown knee caps (old iceskating injury) and so like to be able to get in and out of the bindings in a hurry..

Have looked at quite a bit of 'Ride' and 'Burton' stuff, but not made a decision yet.. Aren't oo sure if Saloman do much boarding stuff or step-ins.. ?? if so, let me know and point me in the direction of their catalogue and I will have a look.. see if I can put my money their way.. lol

Ah Foofi, that's really sweet of you. Your boyfriend isn't Mr. Mercer by chance? Salomon are very good to us at the ski centre and we get stuff up there...but I will bear in mind your kind offer...in return, if you want some ski lessons, just give me a yell!

You're a wee gem!
