Recent riding

Some recent shots. The weather has (shortly) been awesome, that resulted in a whole lot of riding. No frost.

Obviously the new trailgap has been sessioned. Alot. Here you see Hennning on his 3rd or 4th try.

Being a guinea pig on a new feature, such as the trail gap, is interesting in so many ways. There is an anticipation in the air, and a lot of questions are left unanswered until the first hit. How is the landing, the lip, what entry speed is needed, is it trickable? There is no one to answer, you have to find out for yourself. Here we stand after the few first hits, oblivious of the camera, and discuss exactly these things. Good times, that I've come to appreciate.

Kim brought his new ride. A 2012 Norco Sight. Revelation up front, fox in the rear, Reverb post among the highlights. Its a nice and capable trailbike.

Kim goes in between the trees. He had an actual fear that the bike would snap at the trail gap, obviously no such thing happened. We all know that only carbon snaps ; )

I blew my CC DB AIR. While riding, the shock suddenly began to make suction/slurping sounds for about 10 minutes, the sound went away, but the ride felt weird, I shortly after concluded that the Low Speed Rebound adjustment was completely ineffective. There is no difference between fully opened and fully closed! I assume it has something to do with air being somewhere it shouldn't be? *facepalm*
