So Ed and I were chatting last week and I said "we need to ride this weekend brother - how about giving On-Board's new jump-box a blast?" :angel:
4 days later the Usual Suspects (minus Bill who couldn't make it unfortunately) gathered in Yorkshire, took possession of the keys, locked the gates and went to work on shaking the christmas mince pies and chocolate off :coolsmiley:
Considering it was last minute, we had a cracking night. As the park is still being modified, there was plenty of timber lying about that we soon put to good use as protection. Ben and George decided that the driveway was no where near dangerous enough, so about an hour in they found a bit of old jump-box, some ply sheets and within 30 seconds, a bit of 80's nostalgia and danger was constructed. What followed was of course stupidity...... :crazy2:
Looking forward to Terminal One in a few weeks and back to Sheffield again soon, but here's a sample of the night before the battery went on my camera and Rich bailed it and was glad he had a helmet on (healing vibes bud :daumenhoch: )
So, the new vert wall was tamed fairly quickly :uglystupid2:

Then the little quarter needed a bit of suspect modification........ :crazy2:

Meanwhile, the jump-box was getting some stick and despite the fact it was 'kin massive, Ben, John and Rich nailed it eventually (and I'm sure George was 3" shy everytime) :2funny:

A Small gathering in a small park but big fun all round. Loved the new wall and box, had some driveway fun, finally remembered where the steps were after rattling down them umpteen times.
Glad you're OK Rich, that was a proper tumble.

"Ben and George decided that the driveway was no where near dangerous enough, so about an hour in they found a bit of old jump-box, some ply sheets and within 30 seconds, a bit of 80's nostalgia and danger was constructed. What followed was of course stupidity......"
What did George do LOL "put that screw there" ... not sure which way you were looking when me and Ben got busy with the modifications ;D

No matter how high I got up the vert wall, I couldn't make it more than about 4 inches off the floor on the jump box :2funny:

Ben filled his frame with helium and tried to clear the quite large driveway - gotta be 20 foot on the top and he only failed by his back wheel length :shocked:

Last photo, when did Ben turn into Dave Grohl?
-
Mark, I didn't include you on the invite deliberately as it's just rubbing salt into the wounds I know brother :-\
Just be happy that you're not freezing your nads off in zero degrees right now and you'll get over missing a ride out with your mates who constantly take the pish out of each other the whole time and have an ace time refusing to grow up :2funny:
And yes, Ben needs a haircut and a shave but he's a scruffy bugger when he wants to be ;D
