Sooo glad I made it to Woburn.

Epic conditions (so dry there!!) and good to catch up with Adam &Jon (both sending it laaarge!) & Ryan. Shame I had to leave mid day but really glad I made the effort to get there early. :D :D :D

Good to see u Grin and Ryan - Also nice to meet Matt on the DJ's :thumbup:

I had another crack at that jump after you left Grin and it was a bit more elegant this time.. tagged the back wheel but no instant stop crank case this time :wtf: lol Now we have skyline dialled that should give me the speed to hit it smoothly.

Woburn is running sweet as a nut... as good as last week if not better and still with loads of lines to challenge and progress through... loving it.

Good to meet northern and Karve!!! Your rigs were awesome!! And certainly sounds like you were flying on the freeride section!

The DJ's were good, the main line was running a bit off but the top hip line was perfect as always!

Cant wait to get back down there!!

Unsure if the tables at chicky had been altered since your last visit but i hit them hard enough to clear the first one and from there on i lost too much speed and got shorter and shorter, great fun that was indeed :D

I concur with the funny kick - never liked the Chicksands tables

If you want to learn to do DJ's don't do those tables! hahaa

They give a funny kick and send you off line, its one of those strange things that its surprising but the bigger jumps are easier than the smaller ones as they are less tech! The Middle doubles are easier than the tables and the big set easier than the middle!

Woburn's step up is a good jump to learn stuff on!!!

Tbf I'm trying to jump on the wrong type of bike anyway, so I'm just hitting stuff and seeing what I can do, may invest in adj bike later in the year

Yeah the do handle so much better, especially if your trying to DJ a full bouncer! But even still the tables aren't the best to build confidence there!!! The huuuge table/double at the top of the 4x before the switch back is easier than mastering those tables!!!!
