is it just me?

is it just me?

Post by suzukisteve » Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:12 pm

or is everyone else praying for rain? I mean don't get me wrong, I love hot weather and its not very often that we get it, its just something is lacking.

trails are dry and crossing fords results in no more than a damp wheel arch if that.

gentlemen, we need some mud and some nice deep water!

I hope it rains soon, went to a quarry where i use mine until its on the road and was only there 5 minutes because there was just to much grip. meant to be thunder storms soon though :doublethumbs:

See I actually prefer technical axle twisters, big steps, climbs and decents so if its dry you've just got to challenge yourself to try harder lines :lol: I hate cleaning mud off my SJ, would much rather drive round a dry quarry with technical stuff to do than get covered in mud any day! in fact I'd quite happily live in the US and just spend my days rock crawling :rockin:

But yeah we need some rain! I need to dig some more and carry on building at my BMX trails, its too dry to get any new stuff built.

I'd rather it didn't rain for a while. My new garage/extension is underway and the old drainpipe from the roof currently comes down right in the middle of it - it could get very wet in there!

I do love the hot weather but a few watersplashes would be nice!
I'd prefer it not to rain as I still have some bits to do on the zook haha
