Pretty amazing!

One year ago i shattered my leg. The last twelve months have been hard work but i feel like its finally starting to pay off. I'm back on my bike having fun and i'm loving it...

Nice, awsome clip!

I was wondering why he'd been so quiet since A Hill In Spain.

Looking back at the vids since A Hill In Spain, he was bloody lucky to survive that cliff fall.

Interesting to note that he was using a climber's harness and clips to go up the rungs on the cliff face at teh start.

Nah he's a Yorkshireman, and we're made of tougher stuff than luck Eye-wink

Hawkeye, given his recent track history with cliffs, can you blame him for being a little cautious?

Inspiring stuff, almost makes me want to go and ride off steep stuff... almost

Not at all... Smiling

I was just interested to observe an increased respect for potential consequences.

Trouble is, he makes it look so damn easy!

What an excellent day out! A bit of Caving, followed by some Via Ferrata, and then some awesome techy riding followed by flowing trail!

I want. Definitely!
