Depending how big they are I'd be keen after work or something. If they're massive no thanks.

They are all going to be tabletop type jumps, and quite wide, due to ease of building, so as an added + they will be alot safer

Hah, yeah, testing on the night before seemed a little too last minute. Not to mention the huge lack of advertising.

Nevermind. I had wondered about doing it on my 29er singlespeed ( :lol: ), but wasn't sure what protective gear I'd need. I'll see how I'm placed in 2010... heck, maybe I'll even have a more suitable bike (and protective gear) by then?

Thanks for trying guys... it would have been great to have some fat tyres and dirt involved in the Rev festival this year. See you next year?? :thumbsup:

:( Although, in fairness, advance notice of the event was limited. And being the same day as my welding anniversary, I didn't have enough time to wrangle a pass out to get over there
