Reckon that’s that tree there that’s a bit tight to go through yeah it might be you’re not going to get any breaking on there but where’s the other way then that way I don’t know let’s try this way I think this is what we used to do

Oh and then it splits left there as well now I think this is the normal way I know and it gets to that corner here do it a dub yeah so it must come you must link back on there and then it goes down this bit

That might be come from that thing that we’ve just that se you go from there or do you need to roll in don’t know which line looks [Laughter] best who who W bit too heavy on front bit too heavy on front break that I’m Stu ah it’s a right spot to start from

Nice it were tricky I you were sideways yeah you were sideways all way I’m sure you said let’s go straight in as well shoot right trying to stay off at front is it I might let I thought my tires were pretty soft to be fair but oh slippy that yeah hey
