I'm sure the purists will groan with regards to putting a Judy (coil sprung) fork and Tomac bar on my Vertex, but the bike is now a right laugh to ride, and that's what matters

I fancied an old school ride, and I'd never checked out Flying Circus, a trail built by 'Dangerous' Dan Cowan. There's no way in hell I'd ride any of it, even on a modern bike with the trail in good condition (the forest is reclaiming it) but it's such a seminal trail in the more extreme end of mountain bike history that I had to check it out.
I can't find any footage of the trail in it's prime (more than 10 years ago...) unless one watches the old North Shore Extreme videos by Digger, but here's some more recent footage for anyone interested:

Makes me shudder just looking at it.

Is Dangerous Dan still around?
