Got big air once a few years back by accident at Glentress, unfortunately as I dont have a pilots licence I went into panic mode and my landing resulted in a big accident. Hospital in an Ambulance with multi bust collar bone. Nope if my wheels leave the deck I'm doing something wrong.

Good to know there are still a few half centenarians carrying the torch of wild abandon Used to ride around a skate park in the late 70s in Gospel Oak Camden and take massive air on a 1930s contraption. Kids regularly ended up in A&E but it was all part of the fun. Alas arthritis and our everlasting winters tends to put a big dampner on your enthusiasm to go crazy.

Oooh, nice bike. We probably won't see each other, then, I'll be working at the downhill park in Les Saisies, which is about an hour and a half away from Morzine.

You never know we've a week in morzine but 3 of us are driving out a few days early for some extra riding might end up in your area you can't miss the bike not many like that around not sure but think there was only about 40 made and it's a bit on the bright side!!
