So today was our second day on on the hill here in Vallnord.  Yesterday we had a brilliant day getting to know the terrain and the hill. Peter and I have been progressing to new jumps and drops which has been a real learning curve and seriously awesome!

However tonight I’m drinking beer for the fear because i rode up to a pallet jump about 600 times this afternoon and couldn’t get myself to hit it, this resulted in major frustration (including those watching every attempt from the bottom).

When we had originally seen this particular jump yesterday we reckoned we would do it on saturday but my dad jumped the gun and hit it today so now i have to do it 😂. But its always a mind thing with me…tomorrow I hit the thing!

Commencal spot for a breather after a long day on the hill…behind us in this photo is the finish ramp for masters and elite world champs. #mildlyterrified
