had my bike about a month now, and have been out every weekend, loving every minute. Was at llandegla again yesterday and was feeling fitter and more confident and having a blast...

one jump later, a skewed landing and am now the proud owner of a gashed knee, elbow and hip, along with some ripped clothing and some aching!

all part of the fun though and i'll be back out next week having learnt what not to do

anyone else care to recall their first big "off"?!

mine was on the last "signposted" jumps bit on the red. got a little skewed on the landing off one of the jumps and .... ouch! lesson learnt though!

Im in Wrexham so llandegla is only down the road from me. It seems to get good and bad press but ive been the last two weeks and did coed y brenin the week before and i have to say i really like llandegla

sounds like im not alone at least! i have to admit to being on the internet yesterday learning how to take jumps with a little more finnese! I think next week will just be a gentle run out though!

The day after is definitely the worst though...was moving around like someone 40 years older yesterday - have developed several more bruises too, including a round, end-of-the-handlebar shaped one on my inner thigh!
