Me too.
I often see crappy riders up at Woburn sands (local freeride area) do some of the bigger ones that I avoid. Really annoys the crap out of me that I know i can do them, but sissy out in stead :(

I get the same problem, I will hit bigish doubles, step downs etc.. I come to a table top and im useless! Table tops flat out scare me.

On the same note, the amount of riders yesterday rolling some of the jumps ive done on my Commencal at BPW BDS yesterday was embarrassing. I think personally if you cannot clear most of the jumps (pro stuff not inc) then you shouldn't entertain entering a national race!
 
ah ok cool, im done some smaller drops at slow speed and its horrible just nose diving lol. Im getting better at jumps etc but need to improve so much.. any jump with a steepish take off and i always bottle it at the lip and roll the other side as i feel like im going over the handle bars on the take off... I am getting better though as i recently did one and landed ok so i know its all a mental thing!

It's hitting the ground that hurts, so if there isnt any ground there your not going to get hurt :p

At least you have BPW's new jump line to practise on. That jump line can be sessioned all day long and is built so darn well.

One of my mates is a tech riding genius - wet tight twisty roots he's something to behold. He however never jumps his bike if he can help it. Last time him and I went to BPW, his brake pads gave up on life and he ended up hitting those tabled jumps at full speed because he couldn't brake, and clearing them!
It was something I thought I'd never see :D
 
Few bits wasnt running nice, the tabletop they got rid of people were overshooting and killing themselves, the corner after the step down is plain dangerous now as its so loose and generally just playing with the flow of it
 
Yea like I said I dont even like table tops and I managed them all pretty fine, one of the boys I ride with flat landed one of them on a Commencal Hardtail so I bet some of the faster boys are getting caught out..

Also had a sneak preview of the new black run... looking really really good! :D
 
For those of you who have bought troy lee jerseys from ali express. How are you sizing them?

Couple of snaps from Innerleithen. Not much in the way of photos I'm afraid. Too much riding :)
