First ride of the year i only managed a third of the ride as I had a mechanical failure but Nik and John did the whole ride

I have a strange problem with my back break. For some reason I always have issues with breaks.
Any way when I apply a small and really do mean a small about of presure on the back break leave the leave feels hard and the pads are hard on and the back wheel locks. It does not matter how much I change the screw to adjust the reach. There is no movement in the leaver.

Has anyone got any thoughts to what the issue might be?

Now this is just amazing. Just wish I could do something like this without it been an epic FAIL. I can never can land the simplest of jumps correctly.

The amount of times I have fallen off my bike when I should of not are far too long to list. the poor fella below is a typical me. Just glad its not me this time. Have a watch I don’t know if its funny or I should feel sorry for him. just glad its more this time…
