    So good mate! That was a heavy case, my heart flipped and I thought you were going over the bars. Old Tom is such a fun trail even though I hardly hit any of the jumps.

      Thanks! I think I was so happy at clearing the bigger ones early on that I dialled it down a bit too soon. You can hear me slowing on the upramp when I should have pedalled into it and capitalise on the speed of the jump before. Then there's the moment mid-air when I realise that I fucked up 🤣

      @@Sportilium I have seen a few people knuckle that same jump. One friend hit his helmet on his handle bars. An extra pedal sounds like the way to go.

    I recently rode long way around and jump stumper. Really enjoyed the trails but the climbs are big, would recommend shuttles

      Yeah some of the gravity trails can be a bit pedally, too. I highly recommend Sapphire Coast Shuttles.

    Catching two riders, you animal 🤘
    Those first two big gaps were like butter 👌

      No real hold up with those riders. Buttery smooth yes, but there were quite a few cases there, too. Imagine how much faster I could have gone! A third run would have seen me clean those up.

      Certainly enjoyed this trail and Prana but both have a fair bit of pedalling

      Thanks Lucas. I’ve got a new found confidence and feel like I’m riding well right now.

    That's looks cool! Need to get there....
    You got a new camera? Video quality has taken a step up. Not sure about the 180 degree lens angle though 😁

      Worth a visit along with a number of other new trails in the region that I'm keen to see more of. I'm running a GoPro Hero 12 with the max lens mod. I wasn't running superboost on these trails which gives it a larger field of view but allows the viewer to see the bike movement. I'm not sure if I need to angle it up slightly but I quite like to see the bike move around, it's more dynamic.

      @@Sportilium I think you got the angle pretty good. Got a good view of the trail. And nice work on those huge jumps as always!
