Aaahh they dont look half as quick as us!

I don't know whether to be inspired or awestruck!  7 year olds maualling step-up double combos!  Guys in their mid 40s and above really racing hard and fast!
...and yes that is Shanaze on the deck in the 4th pic, from the first Elite men moto.

Wey hey - nice pic!!  Proves my gates are OK (869).

Just need to sort out the rest of the track 

Wouldn't mind a copy of this one if possible?

[Jon The Bassist]

Of course, send me a pm with your email address and I'll sort it tonight. I'll also look and see if there's anymore with you on amongst the original files.
