    Meeke took over, here's some of his test.

    As the description says "Some slides, big jumps and VERY good sounds ;)."

    I didn't realize the Countryman was an aircraft.

    Also, Finnish sounds like they're talking about moosemeat all the time.

    Wow........Kris's set-up is not good for the jumps. Front end is way to light, don't want to land that way too many times.
