"If You Dont Try You'll Never Know Bro"

Okay so today Liam Potter and Myself (Tim Hunter) made our way out The Airfield for a jam. We met up with Brad and Tammy from Destructive Design and they got some shots for their web pages.
But today was gonna be more about stepping up to a few things rather than the photos. There was 3 things on my list and I was gonna tick em all off.
First one was the Big Double on the 'Monster Line'. Since i got home its been something that i wanted to do, obviously. But props to Haydz and John. Its a big jump but it works well. Nice work guys. But i must say that i almost ate it so hard on my first attempt. I full Bendered it and almost flat landed in a full vertical manual. I dont know how i didnt crash but i was stoked i held it and managed to ride it out. Hahaha.

Second thing was Back Flipping the 2nd dirt jump in the top 3. I went up to the top sand jump, threw 2 really nice ones, then moved down to the real jumps. Took awhile but then i mustered up some courage to give it ago. I think the convo went something like this. Tim- " man i so scared about throwing this flip, argggh". Brad- "if you dont try youl'll never know bro". So i thought hes right. So i tryed it and i stuck it. So sick. So stoked.

And the last on the list was a Tuck No-hander over dirt. I can do them, ive done them plenty of times before, but for some reason throwing them over the Airfield just wigged me out. But i got them dialled in. Stoked as.

Liam was riding mean all day. Hooking the big lines and making it look easy. Props bro.
Dave turned up late arvo and joined the jam. Respect Dave, your riding is getting heaps better.
And cheers to Destructive for the shots.
