Nice one Glyn, good reading I made a good choice me thinks, I have posted a comment on pinkbike at the end of the review. Are you out this week for DH action not sure if Paul is back, the light id fading fast now so don't know if it is worth it for you if you cant leave before 05:30? I was thinking of posting about doing UK Bike Park this weekend as the weather looks OK at the moment.

Morning chaps. Yep, I'm back from a week of sunshine, cheese, wine and getting smashed to pieces on French sandbanks . I'm not entirely convinced the longboard was the right tool for Hossegor waves, but was fun regardless. Had a go on my mates shortboard and that was definitely more suitable, but haven't ridden one for years so took a bit of getting used to. It's safe to say I didn't make it out of any barrels.......

I'm about for DH action this week if any is on the cards, although I guess we'd have to get away from work a bit early as the nights are drawing in. Thurs would be best for me so let me know if you fancy it. Not available Saturday as at another wedding but providing I reign it in a bit on the free wine, I should be about on Sunday. I'd be up for UK Bike Park action, or other local DH. Equally, suppose I should get on my trail bike at some point........it's been months!

Sounds like you had fun getting mashed I am up for DH on Thursday but it is dark at 07:30 now so we would need to be riding around 5ish to make it worth while me thinks. Just checked YR and it looks like Thursday should be OK for the Clump, but Sunday looks like a wash out at the UK Bike Park? Maybe look at something closer to home or push up at FOD Have you watched my new video yet of mine and Tepid's uplift day last Friday, have the sound on if you can.

I can't make it out this weekend so have booked back in at the FOD on fri. Great vid by the way.
