Not all of it

can do the first 2 without thinking about it now, and was gonna go for 3rd the other day but there was a deep puddle before it, so when i go next im taking something 2 move it out the way and gonna get the whole line :)

expect a video of a crash soon :)

Bit of advice when it comes to dirt jumps....dont ride them wet!
2 reasons....1stly, it halves your speed. Causing crashes! (plus its slippery)
2ndly, if you case, the landings take a massive battering!

If they are built well (the big line is), if you make the 1st correctly, you will make it thru the whole set without having to brake/pedal. Im assuming asbo is built by the same people...

Yeh ive seen asbo be done without pedaling

the jumps i havent moved onto yet on the line is covered in carpet, reckon that would be okay ?

and if i damage a jump i always repair it as it p!££es me off when people do it to our ones we build

Nice.... looking smooth on that. Tricky to judge speed on those ones at the start of the vid.

tweaked the post to Enfield trails as thats less specific about location.

Errrm, I cant remember what they are built from, so cant really say! General rule of the thumb....if you can see your tyre tread pattern on the floor, its too wet!
