Quite surprised to see Verbier in there but bring back some cracking memories. There is a picutre of one of the Dirt riders flying over a road gap on an old tram embankment which is just plain big. This was first attempted by Lee Collis in 2004 by accident. The run in is long and fast and just before you get to the road gap you drop down the side to the road. Lee was running a bit behind the main pack and must have been caning it to catch up, I'm not sure if he knew where to stop or just couldn't headed stright toward the road gap. We were on the road and heard the clatter 30ft up. Lee managed to save it on the edge by hitting some shrubbery or trees I guess and was left holding his two tonne 7 Plus dangling over the edge. In the process branding himself with his red hot brake rotor!!
One of the best holidays I have had and thanks to Lee for entertainemnt and your pix here: http://www.team-chr.co.uk/gallery/verb04 Maybe I'll go again sometime soon with my big bike......(dream). Would be good to go with some of the chaps on here. Anyway I spending far too much time thinking about riding and not enough actually doing it as you can probably guess. marc ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!
