Sunny Spain.......

Is soooo gooooood.
Highly recommend to anyone. I lurve Flowtastic, it's the bestest trail ever. FACT!!!

A few random pics from when I could be bothered to take the camera out

mmmmm Pizza.

6" only one of my favourites or Lemmings or historectomizer or....
Pant I can't decide.

Wait, the one at the end of the valley by the white hut and onto the old power station. So so sweet.

looks great Gav - who did you go with?

Went with Switchbacks BJ. Absolutely fantastic, Michael is a top bloke, if I go again, which I think I will, it will definitley be with them.
Devs, that's the "Impossible Switchback". Rode it first time and don't know what all the fuss is about.... It's bloody steep though and saw plenty folk get it wrong

The last pic is the one you look forward to the most... The Pizza from the Pizzeria is awesome

It got the name a long time ago when was harder. In 2003 I pushed my bike (Full on XC bike with 63mm world cup Sids - what was I thinking) down it as did all the other guests and the guides said that they rarely rode it.


Hystorectomizer, 6" only and.......in fact I'm the same as John - They're all brilliant .

I wanna go back.

Did you ride German Box while you were out there? And no mention on Don Juan? I'm shocked

i'll bet yer pwn'd it and drifted it round all smooth!!!

I have some good video of German Box being ridden at silly speed. One of the guides is sideways twice before binning it (Tony). Think the trail lasted about 3 minutes if that. Awesome trail.

John thomas? the one to the power station? clean it all apart from the last bloody corner onto the road!
My fav too!

Nice pics Gav, they bring back some good memories! Went in Feb 2005 shortly after the heaviest dump of snow in the area for 30 years, typical....most the trails above Bubion were covered in snow and ice which made things a little interesting

Is the 2nd pic,the old road to Granada up above Capillara?

Yeah it is, I think. They've torn up the road over the pass and put in some mahoosive boulders to stop vehicular access now though.
