The big hill

By tobytrice on 7/27/2006 on tobytrice's blog

I was once on this ride with a few friends and we came across a huge steep hill that we thought would never end. When we got to the top our legs were really tired but we saw the other side of the hill going so steep and leading into a small passage. we could just see at the bottom where there were loads of trees. On the count of three we set off one by one. The track was dirty and muddy but it was so fast we wanted to do it again and again. As we were approaching the small passage I looked at my speedo; we were hitting nearly 50mph. The small passage took us through a windy trail almost hitting trees. This was awsome but thrilling. There was a small jump which I thought wouldn't get us much air but the speed launched us flying and just as I landed a tree was in my path so I quickly dogded it. The passage soon lead to a road after this point and we went back to do it all over again. This time my friend went before me as he got to the jump and landed his handlbar hit the tree and went into a spin. It looked very painful but he got up and laughed.
