Missed the coping completely, came down still rotating onto the transition, landed about half way down on my back and my elbows...!
There's a reason I wear those pads!
Shook me a bit - just missed banging my head on the concrete- best bail I've had in ages though!
Took one for the team, got back up and kept riding....

Hi Bill!
I always find I rescue myelf with my arms, hence the elbow pads, and I find knee pads get in the way more than help me.
One day though.......
..............you'll be proven right.....(!)

Very good point! It's the first one I've bailed like that in ages!
Betcha Steve's crash gave him a bit of a spanking as well...
I remember seeing him do that. Ouch!

Yeah, but Harrow and Rom showed me I need something a bit longer and a lot lighter! So I'm thinking of starting with one of these...

Will have a look, but I'm NOT looking for something flatland specific - lokkin' more for an all rounder that handles better in the AIR....
Wanna go big again and the micromachine is holding me back a bit - too short and too heavy!

I did a search for Big Daddy, then realised I'd seen one of these recently.

Still thinkin' of the MVP though...think the Hoffman will be too short for what I'm after...
Just had another look and noticed that they do two sizes, the longer one, at 19.5 tt length and just under 5lbs could be a contender...mmmmm...need to check prices now.

im thinking of selling my take frame and getting one mmmm sweet for rolling and ramp and general stuff
