Every day something to learn. In German „Altweibersommer“ (Old Women Summer) is in Englisch Indian Summer. Hmmmmm…..

Early ride this morning, partly misty.

No feeding just scratching

No pic of my rig today ….. just got back after a ride sipping SIS chilling in the back of my Disco listening to the Black Grouse and soaking up the scenery

Oh ok …. I lie!

 

[Slymobi]

Absolutely shocked and even more gutted when visiting Sherwood Pines today at the amount of trail and people here. I was gutted due to being unable to ride ( I can only just manage walking today. Very painful but pleasant walk around admiring all the bikes and riders.
Will definitely be venturing back when fit.

Glen Tanar, Aberdeenshire yesterday. Finally some nice weather at the weekend! Felt like a novelty to be riding without some sort of waterproof on!!

No not stickers
They are part of the carbon weave layup.

“Jaws” was the first book I read. This is the first bike I read.
What do the symbols on the rear wheel mean?

The dropper makes this even cooler.

Umm Sixth Element (Carbon fibre has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons and belongs on our periodic table (Group 14) hence the name "6th Element".
Incredible company based in Manchester UK, the collaboration they did not only raised awareness to spinal injuries but part of each sale went directly to help those effected, that for me was a win win, incredible carbon wheel set and better than any i have owned or currently own including Santa Cruz SR-DH also funds raised go to a fantastic cause that all of us bikers pray we will never call upon..

"Can't quit" is a collob that the company did, read about it here if you wish..

About us

"It's not about how you fall but about how you get back up" When life knocks you down you've got two choices. 1. Quit and let life win. 2. Refuse to quit, get back up. Dust yourself off. Decide to rewrite the rules and create your own game. A twist of fate one night in 2014 left me...

Jaws was one of those rare books for me anyway I read it in one go. I left school at 15 not a ticket to my name . Sixth element was probably not invented then haha. Get out there lads.

Same here. I couldn’t put it down. Of course I was disappointed when I finally saw the movie, but I stopped taking bubble baths and only showered.

Best story I heard was from Kenny a workmate who dived for lobsters . Diving just after seeing the movie the mesh laundry bag he put lobsters in moved round to his face with the tide. He panicked sput out the mouth piece and started surfacing.

Freak accident right at the end of 2nd day in the Alps
Brakes had been a bit temperamental all day
Ì was nursing them back to the apartment to sort them out..
About 500 mtrs from the end of the trail I had total Brake failure and kept accelerating
I don't remember the impact
Woke up with a couple of paramedics, 2 of my mates and couple of walkers
Off to hospital -
Concussion , broken Clavical and no riding for 6 - 8 wks minimum

Brakes failing like this and handle bars snapping are my 2 biggest fears when riding fast, glad you had people on hand to assist after the crash, take care buddy.

Last nights ride. It was definitely more gnar than this, I promise, but what a beautiful evening

Sounds like something Bambam would have said after a night out...

Though he might have spelt walkers differently.

Heal up well.... How's the bike ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Snapped the chain on the E-Mythique. Fixed but forgot to charge so out on the Jam2. The Microshift Advent shifts really nice, but the jockeys can be pushed out of line if they're full of crap (they have play, possibly by design ? ). I think it ghost shifted on a climb.

Beans ....

I pride myself on keeping my bike in tip top condition

That was kinda funny . Spell-check can cause problems sometimes .
@StuR
Anyways, sounds like the helmet took a hit too. You’ll shake it off and climb back on soon.

On holiday in malcesine Italy. And got a strong hankering to go riding. So I got this through bike extreme in the town. A nice bike KTM and really enjoyed it. Not ridden an FS emtb before with a dropper. They kind of just float over bumps. Heavy though. But to be expected.
