Beautiful mourning to ride up a hill, even better to descend said hill with a warm escargot and hot choccie on board. The journey was a bit more leisurely than normal given the mechanic's absence, to the point that Super Mario and Skywalker were ambling down talking about the good old days when we were decent athletes. Before very long our focus shifted to the clapping noise fast approaching our derrieres. I was initially worried that Pinky had made a surprise return armed with one of his battery powered marital aids, but alas the ruckus was from 2 goons on skateboards firing off warning claps to the riders to move to the left as they came through at 45kmh+. As this unfolded in front of our eyes we thought to ourselves in unison "holy crap, they are going into this next corner at a pretty fair clip." Almost at that exact moment the bloke with the camera mounted to the front of his deck completely lost his shit, hitting the tarmac hard before slipping neatly between 2 poles, slamming into the mountain side and sliding on his balls for 20m+ before gravity pulled him to an abrupt halt. To give the poor bugger credit he bounced up pretty quickly with a big smile, only to be abused by a rider he'd overtaken only moments before coming to grief. The bloke on the bike furnished him with a rapid fire character appraisal along the lines of "you stupid fucking tosser", which i thought was pretty harsh given that he'd just inserted his testicles into the side on the 1 in 20, but each to their own opinion. So anyway, hopefully the Jack-Assafras skaters aren't too detered by today's events and return to the hills next week to put on another show. It was a truly outstanding performance!!!
Looked pretty much like this:
