One time the roadie let go on the front there was a big fucking flash to go with the bang. It looked like something had actually exploded a friggin Lethal Weapon film. I couldn't work out what it was and in the end put it down to the talc in the tyre leaving rapidly in a white cloud that looked like a flashbang grenade going off. Fun times.

Nope, wide open slope basically, with a few things you could jump off but there was plenty of room for them. I remember exactly what he said now, 'mate you need to move because we are about to come through here being rad'. Then he rode off before I could tell him where to stick it, so opted for the passive-aggressive approach. Lots of stretching, taking in the view and drinking slowly from a bidon.
[Edit] Oh yeah, the relevant part to the conversation was struggling to control it as the front flatted immediately as I came fast downhill. Just managed to avoid a major crash when this prick showed up. He must have at least heard and possibly saw me.
