Chocolate Log: Woodwork

This roller coaster for bikes has been cobbled together by a Stockholm-based artist Anders Jakobsen (also known as Lagombra). Using a junior hacksaw and some UHU he has managed to build a track peaking at more than 2 meters and boasting steep drops and 'logic-defying bends'.

'So far, only one guy can do it,' says director of MU art centre Angelique Spaninks, who commissioned Lagombra. I personally suspect when the freeriding fraternity get wind of this then that number will rise to at least 3 including the resident Jedi master himself.

I personally think that it would be a welcome addition to Crufts in the dog agility category. Just so you know dogs generally run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives unlike Mtbers where its really is all about the food and toys.

And yes thats a BMX being ridden in this post but hey, if muddy can do a Tour de France thread then then I can have that this once.

In the meantime if any one has any riding stories with nice pictures you would like to share mail them to me at earljenx@gmail.com and I might post them up until Wa breathes life back into the forum.

Hurry up Wa!

Prawn - Can you re-send, my CF mailbox is a spamfest.

Posted by: wa at July 18, 2008 07:29 PM

In case anyone reads this shit, there's an early version of CF2.0 here:

THIS IS PRE-PRE-ALPHA. I.e. it doesn't work. Please don't report any bugs. The forum sort of works - and I should be able to keep any logins that get made, the layout's just fooked.

Try not to break it. ;)

i tested it, for you.

would you like me to point out where you are going wrong?

Posted by: theprawn at July 21, 2008 09:40 AM

Nope, like I said, it's not even close to finished, but there's a forum there that works, even if it's not pretty yet with avatars and all that jazz.

Wa, will we need a whole new login for the new forum? Can't seem to get in using my account as it is now.

Posted by: kieran at July 22, 2008 12:44 PM

The article doesn't say where the track is. i was so bored i looked it up - it's in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Posted by: timewaster at July 22, 2008 03:19 PM

I re-registered and I still can't get in.

Looks like I'm missing a real party in there...

Posted by: Jenx at July 24, 2008 01:36 PM

Weird. I'll see if I can find your details. It's going OFF.

Posted by: wa at July 24, 2008 08:57 PM

Registered, received password, but password doesn't work. Tried getting a new password via "have you forgotten password" link, but it doesn't recognise my e-mail address.
