Unreal, thanks for sharing JW, that guy is good and beautiful area he is riding in..

 

[sissy]

the scenery is great and maybe mogsie undercover from his wife LOL

 

[mogsie]

nooo its not me lol, danny macaskill he lives about 2 hours drive from where i live he rides a lot of the local events round here, he has even rode is bike along a chain, he is very talented, this is known as trials riding, i dont do trials, i do downhill racing,

 

[addy1]

Well kudos to you mogsie, down hill racing, to me, takes a ton of talent, skill and.........GUTS!

 

[sissy]

yeh could hurt like heck when you fall over you bike face first geeze

 

[mogsie]

yeah sissy it does lol, but we use body armour and good helmets,

 

[sissy]

still you can break a bone or two and get some nasty road rash if your not careful

 

[mogsie]

well ive never broken a bone yet (fingers crossed) dislocations and fractures yes, flesh wounds yes but never broken a bone, road rash !! if anybody sees my bike being riden on a road it has been stolen !lol just dirt rocks and roots,

 

[sissy]

well rocks and sticks hurt too .My son got hit while riding his motorcycle ,the guy ran a stop sign and he slid a 100ft before coming to a stop motorcycle and all .Harley was totaled he had road rash from his neck down and a cracked helmet .The helmets are good but they still say they are not as good as they should be .So becareful mogsie you would not want your family to go through that

 

[mogsie]

oh sure i get what you are saying sissy, thats why i wear armour , mirks knows what ime like and often worries if ime going to come back home injured lol, ive always been into extreme sports, started off rock climbing in my younger years and then switched to downhill mountain biking for more adrenalin, ive also had a few phases of power kite jumping and last year snow boarding, but downhill is my passion, tho i do realise ime getting older and i dont hit the big drops as fast as i did a few years ago,

 

[mogsie]

here is a few pics of me i have just ratched out,

 

[HARO]

When you said "armour" I pictured those steel suits the knights of old used to wear! Somehow, I can't see your get-up providing that level of protection. And for God's sake watch out for those trees!! John

 

[j.w]

Looks more like flying to me..................you spend a lot of time up in the air Mogsie! Must be a lot of adrenalin flowing. Kudo's to you! And do be careful...........I'll stick to my nice, casual rides needing no body armor..............just a soft pillow for my butt to sit on,lol!

 

[sissy]

good gosh looks more like do I want to live .Older means it takes more time to heal and remember that extreme skier that died

 

[mogsie]

well our fridge freezer has gave up working, and we will get another one tomorow, so i have hust been moving the old one outside and i had to empty some of the cupboards around it, and ive just realised exactly how much junk we have in this kitchen, stuff we dont use, we have 2 steamers, why do i need 2 ?? and toasted sandwich makers etc, so i think ime going to have a big kitchen clear out and get rid of half this stuff, i think if it hasnt been used in 6 months then it doesnt need to be here ! mirka will have to help or she will be going mad if i throw out something she wanted !! (maybe not tell her lol ) so going to have a coffee and get started,
