Drop off practice
A fine good Friday morning to all,
Pure and simply I suck at drop offs, and struggle to get confidence on drops offs that are on trails that I ride purley for the ouch factor when I inevitably stuff it up. I've just seen this photo and looks like it has minimal consequences for a fall, can somone point me in the direction of where i can find this spot . ( I'll even let you know wghen I'm going down so we can go halves in the prize money for australias funniest home video when we take out the grand prize !!!)
Cheers Sam

This has some details. Been meaning to get up there one weekend.
do I hear another Drop Off training day in the works?
Yep that is on Hews Parade in Belrose.
It's quite good, you can start on the side with small 1-2ft drops up to about 5ft on the other side.
I'll post a ride there for a few weeks time, when I get my leave pass sorted !!!!!!
Definitely post a ride up, I would be all for joining a "training session" to practise this as I too suck badly at drop-offs. I'll bring a camera, if we win some cash at least I can research a new bike while my injuries heal.
I will definitely be keen for this too. Can never get enough practise doing Drops/Jumps
I'd be keen, don't seem to get my 'big air' landing right these days!
i think i might fight you for the best crash thou... i epicly fail at drop offs
I'd be up for this, post a ride and I'll see if I can find a leave pass......
Anyone who knows what they are doing and can help out a bit like the one which happened a few years ago?
id be in when u post a ride if im not working... & ill bet the prize money that i win the biggest stack!
definately need more drop of practice
i will fight you for the biggest stack nix, after my lovely little effort (http://nobmob.com/node/17256) when i failed hardcore i think i am in with a shot!!
I have had a few decent ones too , hey ADZA check your helmet too mate if you hit it pretty hard ? Don't use it again mountainbiking as it might have a fracture underneath the material that u can't see , it won't be much use too you if you come off again it might break , not trying too scare you just warning thats all
oh don't worry dude, i saved the helmet and used my chin instead
maybe wear all 3, triple protection ftw!
although the mob at Chatswood (on the pacific highway) are selling the specialized helmets at $70 each and they are a damn nice fitting helmet! so might scoot down and grab another 1 or 2 just incase
So when is this drop off practice happening???
I can't cause i don't know when i will be right again to ride (ribs still hurt like hell)
someone post it up
a little while ,I know I have done them a few times riding especially hitting trees with a shoulder then hitting something else with the ribs ..lol
i need this drop off practice !!! lets go PEOPLE!
comon who is in?
