I only ever went to Gillingham once and struggled to get any more than about 3-4 out of that bowl with out nearly killing myself. So when I saw a picture in Action Bike of Glyn Lewis busting a massive air, about 8-9 foot, it totally blew me away. How the hell he used to get the air he did from that thing was beyond me - respect!

P.S. If anyone can remember the photo and has a copy I'd love to see it again guys. Thanks in advance.
