Guess I don't have to worry...
Didn't get any pics today cause I didn't have the camera phone with me at the time, but I figured I'd share a story today. You see, only in Winnipeg are we crazy enough to build a gravel road up the side and over a railway embankment. It sneaks up kinda suddenly if you're doing something like changing the song on your stereo. Well...It got me good this time doing a good 45 or so km/h. They guy behind me had to stop and laugh in amazement. Apparently I got a good foot of air off the top of the tracks, at which point, my brakes came on in mid air. When I landed, my newly installed air springs took a rather hard beating. In fact, enough to blow a line of the barb fitting. Let me tell ya, it makes for a rather unnerving fishtail on gravel when that happens. <--- and a good one of these. Guess I don't have to worry about popping an air spring.....

One of the better aspects of my job- we get gravel, sometimes class ab and other times 3/4+ aggregate dropped off.
Makes for good shots considering it just came out of the back of a dump truck.
Either way, glad to hear you came out okay.
Might post a pic or two or me on the incline later.
