The plan for today as simply, meet up at 0900, head to the Mafia Trails and have a fun day.
All was going well until Andy forgot to wake up!
Anyway, 1030 and we finally make it to the land.Andy started off by riding in his usual "cagan ne" style(spainish for "little shitting boy"), but eventually relaxed and got down to some serious hucking(even though he spent the whole day asking if anyone fancied doing some XC!).
Phil started off going big and continued to do so until he managed to bounce off a tree whilst trying the Big Booter, he also thought he'd concussed himself, but appeared not to.
Andy managed to hit up the gap at the bottom, surprise everyone by ragging his bike around the tight berms and hit up Goldilocks and Baby Bear. He also gets a mention as the best improver of the day, he's nearly got the table dialled as well.

Mafia - Gangster Style
Hit up the Mafia trails yesterday with my baby bro, had an ace day. I finally started hitting up the table good and proper. Rather than just squashing it. Actually spending some time in the air.
Phil also coaxed me into dropping Goldilocks(at last), can't believe how gay I've been about doing that.
All that's left to conquer are the Big Booter, Mummy Bear and the mighty Daddy Bear(Don't hold your breath for that one).
The foam pit is coming along nicely, it's almost time to start thinking about a kicker for it.
On a less fun note, can everyone please put any tools that they use away when they've finished, I'm getting pissed off with finding hammers, spades and saws lying around outside and I know Ewart feels the same.
Phil enjoyed himself to, although he did spend a significant part of the day crashing into trees! He's got the table dialed and is even starting to think about tweaking it as he goes over.
Talking of crashing, I managed to wipe out twice in quite spectacular fashion, especially considering that both times were on tiny little features(shin really hurts though).
We also messed around trying to see if we could switch between lines mid run for a bit of variety, with varying degrees of success.
Tim's got a lot of wood and cotton reels up there at the moment and apparently he's not keen on people using his stuff.
Just a note for anyone thinking of driving onto the land, it's still pretty wet up there on top and I've managed to get the van stuck twice. Even the Hick truck took a few minutes to get out last time.
Check ya later,
