Getting Landed On

Let me show you this picture...


This is what it looks like when someone falls a couple of feet, lands on you and then carries you down the hill.
Bit of an accident this weekend, in search of the perfect picture I got myself into a great spot near the bottom of a really steep section. Ryan came down, got high sided and landed right where I was stood and in the fall the camera grabbed the shot above.

A great story to end the day with. The lads had really been playing up to the camera, sessioning a single track section turned into a mess around to see how much dirt could be kicked up at me!


















After a while the ground got badly worn and lost traction and the lads moved up the hill to a jump. This is scetchy looking from where I stood as there is a reall chance of hitting a tree to one side.
The guys were really going for it and in some case only just missing me and the tree.

















I got loads of great shots that Ive put into the new Macc Forest gallery but then the lads started pushing themselves. Tom was really on one and pulled out these awsome moves within a couple of runs.

















The lads then moved on to trying for table tops, Ryan was getting some really nice lines and looking really smooth. Great for me.

Soon enough table tops started appearing, with a bit of effort.
But it wasnt until the light was fading a bit that some of the best came.
















After a few near misses with the tree, the lads moved on to the steeps where are story started. These are a couple of shots I got before becoming a landing pad.
