Scottish Elises

A little video of one of my jumps today down at Innerleithen Up-Lift........why am i posting it? Because i have been chicken to jump it the last couple of times i have been down



May not look like much on the vid but it is probably 12-15ft long!

A couple more pics

Nice one Mike! Looks like a big enough jump!

i will try and get down there next time there is a SE MTB outing.

It's near my house.

Did you know the jump was there?

Looks like a good jump.

Went out my local trail with the dog. See if you can spot the bike in the first pic? I came down the slope from where I took the pic and hit some mud (where the dog is standing), lost the front and it sent me right, down the drop. Not that far down but I managed to roll off to the side so as not to go down the drop head first. Should probably start wearing my helmet.

The dog found it all uninteresting and got bored waiting on me fishing the bike back out.

Nice one Mike!

Seen a video of what looks to be that same jump but the guy hit a tree.

Love those jumps when done well!!

Equally terrifying though when you enter it half-committed and "splat" on the second ramp

It's also a bad idea to say the words "watch this!" just before a jump.

Cheers guys

Yeah defo mate, only just returned to a hard trail, where as on the full suspension you could get away with a lot...bit like traction control
