So trying to get back into riding. When I was 16 me and a load of mates built a trail and a load of jumps in the local woods and every so often a mates Dad with a van would take us all over to chicksands. At the time I had a specialized hardrock pro, I go to the point were I wanted to do a bit of all mountain, light freeride/downhill so I saved up and got my self a specialized enduro.
About 3 weeks after getting the enduro I had a bit of an off. Riding of the biggest jump in the woods. I did something stupid were in the air I some how let go of the bike and upon landing mouth butted the stem! I woke up in a ambulance in agony. I knocked out 4 teeth, chipped 1, 2 inch cut were I bit my lip and bruised gonads. It put me off and the work I have been doing for the last 3 years I haven't had chance to get out.
I live in rutland and can drive so if anyone is going to chicksands etc and would be happy for me to pop along please pm me.
cheers.

Facebook (groan) can be a great place to find rides. Quick search shows Chicksands are having a dig day on the 18th December, that'd be a great way to find people to ride with.
Yeh cheers for that. I found their facebook page going to pop down on the 18th with a spade and my bike.david90210 said:

Almost the same story as you but without the off. I have been trying to get back into riding but got no one to ride with. I'd be up for chicksands but my decent bike is in Southampton so can't go till the new year.
I would be well up for that! Give me a shout when you fancey a trip out. Just out of intrest what bike do you ride?Went for a ride today around town and some of the local trail used to ride mostly overgrown same with the old dj's. The kids (sound really old im only 19) are into crappy little micro scotters round here. I used a bit of imagination and found a few jumps and drop off's in town.
