Crewe May 29th May - Riders List - Rnd 3 North SS11

[oldtired]

nice  one Andy been wainting for the posts to pop up,   looks like a tough gate to start with without have to race in it   

[richie4]

Cottys like a terminator,never gives up.

Jon Rhodes n diggler were very entertaining in their finals.

[hunterdubber]

I heard through the week , Diggs was thinking of jumping  the Pro section ?    

Mission accomplished ?   

Congrats to Ricardo for the win    

It's about time Cotty won a race   ,,, Preston maybe ?  home track ?  

[Dark Diggler]

Too windy for the pro straight, so did the big triple instead

[Jon The Bassist]

Jon made a top move in his race,easing another guy off the track

It was like banger-racing on bikes  shame the third place guy sneaked past to win whilst we were tussling

Did Diggler do cruiser and O/S

No but he did land on my shoulder in moto 1 jumping the first double

[Jon The Bassist]

Diggler impressed with his 7th to 3rd place move in his final

Hell of a move from Digglesworth in an A final with some very good 40-44 riders in as well.

Jon makes Old Sandro look courteous  

If he's in lane 8 on the gate , your foooooked

When that gate goes down,,he's coming over to lane 1 baby

twoz a good day windy as fook tho, dont know how but my face is burnt off the little sun that came through, every fookin moto was like a final, i was fooked. is it just me or have they doubled the time between motos n finals? its starting to get on my charms.

[Jon The Bassist]

Cruiser was stacked, after getting out the gate joint 1st, I finished last in this moto  


My B final; I was banging bars with the dude in blue all through the 1st berm, 2nd straight and 3rd berm until he exited the track...

[Jon The Bassist]

Masters (ie 30+ 20"), brilliant fun to watch, 3 motos, runoffs to even make the semis, proper racin
Bren airborne in a moto (yellow kit n red goggles), Old Skooler Karl Sanderson with big air on the inside:

Love it when the OS comes to town - but I wish more of you had come along!

My special mention is the dark deviant himself.  Diggler impressed with his first straight skills.  Props.

Dex, IMHO I think more people would turn up for Crewe if that first jump was tweaked to make it more rideable, especially in gates 1-3 . It just seems to throw you in the air. Some kids and adults    were just ramping off it , hitting the upside and bouncing to the bottom of it.

I hear what you are saying but it is more than ridable.  Even in 1-3 with concentration.

I did ask Clark about it a while ago and he wanted to keep a differential for drainage but it would be nicer to make it the same across.

I wouldn't want to change it though.  Gates 4 - 8 are mint.  It's just Crewe.  It just needs a strong manwell.

There are dreams of making the first straight more euro.  Lowering and lengthening the first dubs, big quad into the turn.  But I don't want to spend (or even try to fund) those changes.

At the end of the day, it's Crewe.

And that'll probably keep the OS numbers down

[Dark Diggler]

Crewe is awesome, liked it before, like it more now. Its a riders track built by riders....to ride.

and not for puffs

Crewe is a great, modern track. I like it. It makes me think.

Unlike some other tracks in our region that make me think... why do you want to damage people!!

crewe is a fookin awesome track, its tracks like this that bmx needs to raise the bar, the first doubles didnt phase me too much the fookin vert on the backend of 2nd step up scares the shit out of me but i wouldnt have it changed, crewes frustrating coz the jumps desperately want to be jumped but the landings are too scary for me to attempt on one visit, but thats my problem not the tracks,, unfortunatally crewe suffers from being fookin miles away otherwise i'd race it every series, scary, technical, fast smooth, awesome,

now bring it further ooop norf n we're all laughin

[rooski]

I thought Crewe was a challenging track,having said that,a few nights spent riding it,getting it sussed, it could be riden smoooothly
the first doubles as dex said require balls to manual, i nearly made it across a couple of times in practice,just needs more commitment
Its an awesome track,just wish i could get to ride it more

[Haro82]

Crewe is a good track, I didn't say it wasn't. I was replying to Dex's comment wishing more OS had come along and I gave my reasons why I don't think they do, along with a lot of other riders that didn't turn up in other classes.    

I agree it is rideable with concentration and it's OK to say practice more etc. etc. when you are a bit older but when you are a bit younger it's different, even one of the Brooksys who are probably the most skilled younger riders ended up ramping off it no footed.... what a puff !
