I got a new toy

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

my Dad's hoping to move out to Les Gets later this summer so will be hitting up the trails then for sure.

went and rode the trails about 6 years ago when I was like 15, had a super fun time on my hard tail Kona Roast. Just recently got back into my dirt jumping, remembered what I'd been missing out on!

Been skiing around Les Gets, Morzine, Avoriaz, Chatel, Abondance, Bernex, La Chappelle d'Abondance, since I was very little so know the area reasonably well.

Always liked Orange bikes. That should handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Hear's my two:

and my Cube Acid Comp

Did a little bit of racing on this last winter

and no I didn't choose the number.

Heading off to Snowdonia on Thursday for 6 days, camping just a couple of miles from Coed-Y-Brenin, never been before, can't wait.

Got a decent photo of it that will be on FB once the cat is out the bag in an hours time.

Can upload it here for now. Took it for a tester last night and loved every second!
