Okay, so I came in from work on the 18/02/2010 and Martyn told me we were going dirtboarding, I’m not arguementative so I had to say yes!
We were just going on a local jaunt to what we call the high-rises, basically a largish hill with a grass option near a tower block. We were having a sweet time so I decided to up my game a bit, there’s a rail going around the inside corner with a 2ft gap in it. It’s fast and getting through this gap is hair-ee. I went for it without telling Marty, a manoeuvre which crossed his path and it was greeted with rapturous applause.
At this point we thought it’d be a good idea to hit a stair set we’d spied on the way home the other day. Basically there’s a nice downhill runnup to and from a series of smaller stair sets, starting with 2, then 3,3,3,5 and 8. Also what was brilliant for the time of day was there is a streetlamps all the way down, giving perfect vision for us, sadly not the camera though – that really sucked because we hit these stairs every way possible. All except the last set, too big for first try. The last set did however have a run-off down the side which was real fast and need some fast turning to not hit rocks and the like, but was worth it the two times I did it!
That was about it for that small jam. This is a place we can easily revisit, and I’d love to, in daylight so we can get some footage.
