Bank Holiday bashing at Bury-Metro

It was Bank Holiday Monday and we all fancied having another quick bash with the buggies, so Colin, Jon and myself headed down the the local(ish) track for a quick bash.

Needless to say that I smashed the XX4's front shock tower on the 2nd pack of cells having got a bit too keen over the double (and the heavy landing on the concrete sides didn't help), and Jon did his Lazer in twice in as many minutes. Not a good day at all for Jon, poor fella, but hats off for keeping a smile on his face the whole time!

The highlight of the afternoon has to be Col doing some stupid jumps over a modified triple....now that's some air! I have to admit that I set the jump up and egged him on a bit, but he went for it and pulled of some mad skills with no damage whatsoever. Check it!

In this last photo, the little thing showing its belly behind the TRF501X is an RC-18. Yes...we have proven that they can fly too; just not as well...I remember the landing.

Shortly after this event Col let me have a blast on his TRF501x, which I proptly trashed by accident, but I admit I was being over-zealous! All in all I broke his shock tower, lost a screw and damaged the wing a little. Sorry Col. Egg butties on me!
