Had no worries with the muddy Mary's. I fell off 3 times too but they were gravity related lol
I wouldn't have thought tyres would make any difference to the grip there dean was running a semi slick on his

I did, i ran everything there near enough and loved it!

really good to ride with people so experienced down there as it made pacing out jumps, gaps and drops a lot easier.

had some big stacks too.
slipped a gear coming into the hope gap/drop and that saw me land on the front wheel bounced out of that into a bush!
had to eject trying to make the right hand hip from the big table into the run towards mini morzine, flying is fun!
and massively over shot one of the dirt jump lines and used my balls to control my landing!

i'll defo be back

Although i really enjoyed it, i felt a little deflated as i backed out of a lot of things i shouldn't have, not going to blame my tools but was having real trouble keeping the bike upright and planted, noticed it on local trails earlier in the week also, need to investigate.

Ribs and arm are screwed and painful, but will return soon to start over.
