Alas, it wasn't all beer & skittles.

I landed a jump on a big loose, square edged rock. About the size of two bricks. The same rock I'd made a note of on the way out...

The bike soaked it all up. Well, most of it. I flatted, which is odd—no tubes, so nothing to pinch flat.

I carry a tube, so if it won't hold air, no biggie, easy trackside fix.

A bit of faff & I'm done, riding much more cautiously. Why? Aah... While faffing, I noticed the wheel is buggered. Spokes are pulling through the rim.
