Woohoo!!! no rain on a sunday!
I will be celebrating by purchasing a day tripper bus pas and getting the no. 3 bus up to marsden village and skating down into town via glenmore and bowen.
Helmet and pads required.
after 3, we'll head to the waterfront for a nice waterfront cruise.
bus runs are fun! though
bus runs are fun!
though jestah spent some time on the ground under a parked car...
did karori, glenmore, bowen then
kelburn pde, the terrace, boulcott
Perhaps we should do these a bit more often.
parked car..... me ...
Nooo.....
it was my evil cant-hold-a-line twin who decided it would be better to rear end a car than sweeping the legs of a pedestrian out from under them.
no really these runs are gnar... cars on your tail and passing, silly peds crossing the road not knowing your going as fast as you are. Evil rough patches of road that can get a good wobble started...
If you can slide at speed to a stop and hold a line while doing it you should be ok. this is the open road and things do happen so please be carfull and awear of the many risks you can and will face every single bomb.
I dont want to ever see any one attempting this sort of riding with out the stopping, sliding or speed control skills that are needed to make it to the bottom of the hill 100% of the time... (i did make it to the bottom just not around the last corner :P )
if you want to learn how to handle this sort of riding please post up and request a learning sesh and me and rich will come and show you what we know.
any way enough from mother jestah
