Don`t worry Alex, I can`t ride it anymore, in fact I never liked it back then either, once you`ve started to ride ramps with a decent transition and some coping it`s hard to ride those bowls again  :(

The only Carl I can see is Carl Westfield, but that guy looks a little bit big for Carl, perhaps Mark Likley would be able to tell us more  :daumenhoch:

I'm no good at riding any ramps, but towards the end of last year a few of us (yes including you Bill) started sessioning it for a bit.  I quite liked it...

I recall Bill riding into it at full speed then doing a BIG jump out of it.

Welsh Rhys and Mark Likely were getting really nice airs out of it.

Lazychubs pegging it....

Hopefully it will be dry tomorrow morning. If so, I'm having another bash at it.  I want to be able to get out the top of it by the summer.  :daumenhoch:
