“Two paving slabs and a plank. The plank had opinions about my weight and shared them mid-air.”
Behold, an engineering marvel: two paving slabs, one plank, and a very muddy ditch. The first test run is a soaring success, a glorious flight of BMX and bravado. But on the second run, as the bike hits the ramp, the plank decides it has something to say...
“The plank had opinions... and it shared them mid-air.”
From the back cover
In Bramblewick, if you want a bike jump, you have to build it yourself. A couple of paving slabs for support. A sturdy plank for the ramp. What could possibly go wrong?
The first jump is perfect. The second is... not. As the bike leaves the ground, a sudden CRACK echoes across the ditch. Luckily for our hero, the grown-ups are too busy indoors to notice a thing.
