That new pallet jump was set up with the take off ramp fixed to the ground, but the landing ramp set up to be moved so that you can change the gap to suit what you want. We have had it out to 4 metres, but normally move it back to about 2.5 metres when we leave so as not to catch out other riders with it being different. Love watching your videos and hope you are mending well 👍

So glad you are healing well. Totally respect where you are coming from with injury and health. A mountain bike injury has an impact on you and those around you not mention financial. I broke my right ankle at Nerang in 2019 and it does make you risk manage going forward. I was fortunate enough to be able to still work all be it with a knee scooter to get around. Take it easy coming back and there is nothing wrong with taking a B line. Looking forward to seeing back on the bike and its always Daisy Hill ride to ease back in

Get yourself out there and check it out. Some awesome old school, hand cut single track that you don't see too much of anymore unfortunately. As for the 800 bars, I honestly can't tell too much of a difference in stability. Just noticed myself nearly clipping trees a lot more often. I'll give them a go for a few more weeks to see if I can get used to them, if not I'll end up cutting them down
