I was really tempted to get into mountain biking recently then my son brought home a magazine (mbr?) which had a wee column on readers injuries  :o  shocking stuff you can do on a bike, must try and scan the pics in (but not for the squeamish), but don't let me put you off Harry, although i don't think there's any chance of that  ;D
think outside, no box required

Ye i always get that mag,the pics in the old blokes who should know better section are bloody :o Worst pic gets set of pads seeing those pics always makes me ride more carefully,although s**t happens :)

I dont think anything would put me off biking  ;D i'm only @ it a yr now & loving it All the yrs on a BMX give me a good start to MTB so i went and done a course & now i'm a level 2 coach in MTB.. As for injuries it come with the sport i say if ur not bleeding ur not trying hard enought.. :P :P

LandyLiam

Mate you're just right,harrys mad as a hatter,he was looking to MTV down the devils ladder for god sake,crazy

Devils ladder in Kerry??
That would be tight you'd need a serious downhill bike for that.

If you die with all your parts working your not trying hard enough!

Mourneman

well maybe not the devils ladder,but he was talking about going back down & doing the zig zag route,i'll get him to load some of the movie clips of the jump he's done
