butterfly beach trail 2nd attempt!

Post by fishtail » 13 Aug 2012, 00:27

had an awesome day out yesterday...

butterfly beach 2nd go - actually made it up quite a way - helps having a gang..

I didnt actually take any vid - but one of the guys put this up.

I drop the CRM at 5:19 - ( not the only one tho :D ) redeem my self at 6:40 they almost look disappointed I made it!

here's a link :)

:D Excellent, instead of goggles, that just mist up that heat, had you thought of safety glasses? They let the air get around your face and make for a more comfortable ride.

hey thats a good idea! :BB

cos some of those trails involve whipping thru some undergrowth and I did get a fear!

ps in a moment of shameless self promotion - someone kindly put my attempt at a tree jump up! :D
