Couple more views of the new line:

From 2:07 to 2:33. The first jump/berm has to be known as Justin's gap as I reckon it took him about 12 attempts to make it round as he was taking it at warp speed and then ploughing off into the undergrowth! He nailed it in the end though ;) .

As you can tell from the hangtime, the last jump is pretty big and you need to clear the gap! It's super smooth though. Thinking of heading back up there Thurs or Fri evening if the weather plays ball - anyone interested?

Here is the new line
- The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
- No one gets hurt in the air
- There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

Yeah, cracking session today. Didn't think we'd get much joy when I looked out the window at Midday to see it peeing it down in Swindon, but the Clump microclimate came through for us :) .

Pretty pleased to have hit that jump line, wasn't really planning on it today! Was no way we would've done it without the coaching from the local dudes though - fair play to them. Need to get the rest of you guys up there soon to have a crack at it - it's wicked. Maybe not the new gap jump though - as Justin said, it's absolutely massive!

Paul & I had a good ride @ the clump today. Weiredly it was bone dry and hasnt seen rain for a while which was great. We spent a couple of hours with some local lads who showed us some wicked new lines through the dirt jump section which took quite a while to get right. One guy was nailing a absolutely massive gap jump, but that was wayyy above our ability/ bottle. Hope you guys had a good ride to.

Good glad you enjoyed it, though I am sure it the trails we dry it would have been much more fun.

So you will be out again soon, even Gadget seemed to enjoy himself :woohoo:
If at first you dont succeed, spend 6 hrs in casualty, then try again !!!
