Last night at training we tested out our new cribbing.

Great to practice our techniques, just what training nights are all about 🚨

Back to training this week on the tools. We finished off a car we've had in the yard for a while, removing the doors, roof and performing a dash roll.

Had a few members testing out some tools to get a feel for how they react against the car. Good to be back into it 🧡
