What have you all got to cheer me up on this dragging Thursday afternoon?

This is me flying down a small set of steps in France in an urban race.

On my chameleon. The picture is so blurry cause I was doing mach 4/the camera had been dropped a few times.

How many points do I win?

Well, you win all of the points at the moment as you're the only one that's even slightly managed to raise the boredom factor of my afternoon.

Urban racing must be blummin awesome though.

Slightly tenuous one there maybe.

Here's me doing a backflip on flat, the photo came out blurred as the photographer was physically knocked backwards by the amount of gnar happening infront of him. It was on a Chameleon.

it's no good giving me a qualitative assessment of gnar.....although knocking the photographer out could, I guess, come close to the top of an empirical scale of gnarness so I could dish out some points for that.

Brilliant stuff, keep 'em coming!

Loving the big drop pic PJ266 - impressive stuff for sure.

The trail pics are making me just wanna drop everything and go out on the bike.

I'd love to have a go at Urban Racing, steps, steps and more steps.

Taken at Netherton outside Wakefield before it was closed. Shame - it was a good place for an afternoon playing on the bike.

leggyblonde - great picture. Just the right amount of blur on everything else. Was it remote flash?

AlexSimon, it was taken by Andy Waterman for MBR and yes, he used a remote flash. That's why I'm pulling a face; hipping to avoid some very expensive camera equipment out of shot!
