I've only ever seen Aston dry in videos!

I'm beginning to question if it is real or not!!

I smashed my helmet in half on the drop at the end a couple of weeks ago, it doesn't bode well for a race run!

OTB?

Yeah, it was soggy and I didn't carry enough speed through the last turn, went over it too slowly, thought I'd just about saved the landing, then the bike speared off to one side, faceplanted onto a rock and the bike landed on the back of my head (apparently) :thumbdown:

All fine now though :thumbup:

. Going to hit it again soon
