  1. thats great!! the riders have nerves of steel,i was there with my son and grandaughter watching from the top,and made me feel quite wobbly looking down them slopes,let alone jumping up the logs and tyres!incredible!!

    was nice to see my son briefly in the video too.cheers :icon_salut:

  7. A guy goes to the council for a job. Interviewer asks 'Are u allergic to anything?' 'Yes, caffeine', he says. 'Are you disabled in anyway?' 'Yes', he replies, 'I was in the army & a bomb exploded near me & blew my testicles off'. Interviewer - 'Ok your hired. Hours are 8 till 3 but you can start at 10 everyday'.Guy asks 'why 10?' Interviewer- 'this is a council job, 1st 2 hours we stand drinking coffee & scratching our B*****ks so no point you coming in!' :rolleyes:
