Yeah we did that bit twice, watching darran surf down it and then trying to follow him was an experience in itself! Looking at your pics, I want to go back. Did you do Contador Beef? That's a monster ride.

Sorry RD, have your thread back!

Can I have two?

Chasms trail, Isle of Man and the last descent back in to Port Erin off the back of Mull Hill. Been riding these for 5 years and never seen them running so fast and dusty. Two wheel drifts and kicking up clouds of dust in our wake, mega little local loop 😀 Shame it's pissing down today 🙁
