Pandora stress test :(

[PokeParadox]

Yeah glad no serious injury, to you or your Pandora.

Bike crash in Netherlands I am not too surprised about, I've only been to Am*dam but I didn't see much else aside from bikes and trams.

Bike crash into a tree though, how'd you manage that? Are you an extreme rider and race downhill through forests or something?

Or a biker-scout from Endor?

Well I saw a jump when I went on a bike ride around a lake/park place near here and yes it was in a part with a few more trees... Obviously you can't turn very well while you are airborn and so I ended up "I am spiderman"-ing it straight into a tree... luckily it was a young tree and kinda bounced me backwards onto my arse but my leg had a big bag of blood bruise on it for several weeks.

Very embarrassing, very painful!

Nice, yeah lucky was a young tree and not an old oak or something.

Nutters though, I sacked off my bike when doing a little jump - this was when I treated myself to a new mountain bike after having not been on a bike for about 10 years prior to that - not sure what I was thinking exactly, but I soon hit reality [and the floor] that I'm not that good on a bike aside from cruising along

Near where I lived some lads built this pretty sweet course, I've not been there for a couple years now but probably still there. This is where I took my shiny new bike and realised I wasn't so agile as I once was.

Got some nice jumps and wooden rise/drops, this is it

Repaired it, and it's fine. My first soldering since I was 12 or so and it went well

Pandora the only piece of electronics I dare to repair myself!

i'm glad you've got the dexterity to do so, although the wife has done some pandora based repairs for me in the past i've never been closer to having a heart attack, all the time she has the unit open i'm thinking "dont kill the board". you must have nerves of steel bosbeetle

That and I love the smell of melting plastics
