Try not to break any bones!

It's not me you need to worry about it's my mates! I'll be fine with my 10+ years of bmxing behind me, it's just like riding a bike

(well maybe)

See if you can tailwhip it

I've gotta put another alternator on tonight and it's gonna be done in the snow now :(

I also need to rebuild my diff (maybe tonight) so I'm gonna be proper cold outside!!! :(

I never mastered tailwhips on the normal BMX! It's one of those tricks you try and try for years getting closer and closer but I never pulled one! unless you mean the ones you do on the floor

they're easy

yeah I had a bit of an emergency yesterday, my mate who's farm the green SJ is on called me saying 'have you put any anti freeze in the sj?'

I was like 'oh s**t!!!!!!!!!' there was some but not enough and when i got there it was like a slush puppy in the rad pipes. all defrosted and filled with antifreeze now. I think one more night and it would have done some damage

but damn it was cold in that barn for the hour or so i was in there

The problem with tailwhips is that most of the time during it, the bike is pointing in the wrong direction!!!

Easy to stack... ouch

I have chunks missing from my elbows as a result of trying to learn tailwhips

That bike thing looks awesome Scottie!

When we go skiing in the alps there are always loads of those snow-scoot things, they look pretty rad...

Yep my elbows, shins and knees are just big lumps of scar tissue

My mate has one of those snow scoot things but I never managed to get a go on it last time it snowed as he wasn't out when I was out on the old ski bike, aparently its a lot easier to control and more stable but not as fast as our home brewed one because of the wider skis/boards.

Its starting to get abit deeper here now.........I'm still hoping for more though. I've been making the most of the bad weather By driving my Losi MRC in the snow, Its great traversing the car wheel ruts but struggles in the deep 'untouched' snow, I find the axles are abit low and make the MRC into a snowplow

It makes me wish my sj was on the road, but IMHO our lasses GV has handled things admirably.
