The Brits

[ron burgundy]

I'm heading down to The Brits for the 1st time this weekend, really looking forward to seeing all the action and getting stuck into the racing on Sunday.

Vets here I come

Any one else making the trip and having a pedal?

[Gary72]

I'll be there, Racing 35-39 cruiser before stepping up to join the 40+ next year. Stupple will be there aswell.

[Jon The Bassist]

I'll be there in 35-39 cruiser also , my lad is in 8 male.

[billstup]

Yep, up there from Tuesday, doing 45+ cruiser and Vets on the 20" 

[stidds]

I won't be riding, but hope to come along if I am out of hospital by then.

[HEYWOOD BMX]

  Heading down on Friday,Vets for me.

[bof]

Yes. Vets and cruiser for me

[Humps00]

Will  be watching all you old f*rts and have loaned my latest 20" build to a Gosport rider so will have a vested interest in at least one of the races.  Neither of my sons could be *rsed to qualify for the event this year - they must be getting old!!  See you there.  Humps

[medved]

i will be there in 30-34 cruiser......enjoying the view at the back  and riding round the casualties   

[ron burgundy]

Nice one. See you lot on Saturday

[ZippyDixon]

I'll be there with the fam,watching and cheering my daughter in the 13/14 girls.

[Gary72]

Not racing now or camping, Had a cough for over 3 weeks now. Just been prescribed a 2nd course of anti-biotics. Going for a chest x-ray tomorrow
Might drive down on Saturday and stay in a hotel as we have tickets for Longleat on Sunday

[Dark Diggler]

Where's all the results then wanna see how bradford guys got on

oggy got 3rd 20" and cruiser , arron skow got 7th 20" ( i think ) billy didnt make the final and gamble was too wasted to ride 

[Dark Diggler]

But what of flip 

[ron burgundy]

35th out of 48 in 20" Vets. I've never seen so many old people on clips 

1st straight is very fast and the start gate was slippy as fook due to it pissing down. Great track though, I just need a bit more practice on it.

An interesting weekend.

[Jon The Bassist]

Where's all the results then wanna see how bradford guys got on

it was all hectic, this may not be 100% accurate:

Francis [my lad] got 4/6/7 in the 8s and missed out on his quarter final by 3 points - still did well in a class of 58 riders, wasn't far off top 32.
Billy Fieldhouse was in a tough 45+ class that went straight to an A final and he just missed out.
Arran Brannan [7s] was on it all day and got 7th in A final in his 1st full year of expert racing 
Flip was riding well in Junior Men but got 5th/6th in his semi, just couldn't find a way past some of the bigger guys...
Sam Avison was bossing the 9s but slipped a pedal on the last straight in his quarter and was 'given' 5th on the line behind a faster finishing rider

tbc

[rooski]

Arran got 6th in 20" and 7th cruiser

Nigel smith 4th 30-34 cruiser

How did Cotty and Critch do

[Jon The Bassist]

Arran Skow was all set for a podium finish in 15/16 cruiser but went down hard in the first berm and got a pretty bad jaw injury - he did really well to get in the A final on 20" next day (6th/7th?)
Oggy was on form and took 3rd on cruiser and 20", fairly well clear of the rest (35-39 and masters).
Nigel Smith got 4th in 30-34 cruiser
I got through my motos in 35-39cr no bother and put in a pretty good lap in my quarter - okay gate, jumped/manualled everything I should, no errors and still ended up 7th such was the required standard. This class was SERIOUS all day, hardly any of us on flat pedals for example.
Andy Parks was flying in Masters but couldn't get through traffic in his quarter/semi (?) with a 6th.
Other guys in their first season of expert racing were battling away in their motos all the way to the line, Kieran Stanley, Jesse, Jed Phillips, Paul Phillips [battling away in Vets on his OS steed!]

Some fantastic riding and results from a little unfashionable club without all the factory riders and sponsorships etc  

[Jon The Bassist]

Arran got 6th in 20" and 7th cruiser

Nigel smith 4th 30-34 cruiser

How did Cotty and Critch do

Cotty looked made for that track [fairly tech], did ace in motos [won one of them], and was quite unlucky with a 5th in semi/quarterfinal?
Phil had tough as fook motos and rode well but didn't make it through.
Both Masters and Vets was stacked with ex-British Champions, ex-pro riders etc etc. Vets in particular has improved so much since a couple of years ago. Paul Fizz did great just to be in the mix banging bars with them guys on his OS Brackens.

[rooski]

Arran did well then ,just proves what you can do on a £100 bike!

Respect is due to to all radsters in the masters and Vets,20" and 24"

[Haro82]

My daughter Imogen got 2nd in 9-10 Girls    Well proud considering she's only 9. If she'd had the start in the final she had in the semi I reckon she could have won it but gotta be pleased with 2nd  

I was chuffed with 7th in the 40-44 cruisers, well pleased to make the A     I won't mention the 20", not too good in that 

Great Weekend, well done everyone    

[thecrooch]

saturday defo better for me than sunday.... made the quarters but blew my gate and given the quality was impossible to make it back... gutted as my gates were good all day..

vets was a nightmare... the rain and tarmac berms!!! just couldnt man up enough to give it full beans in the motos, got taken out in first moto, dead leg thank god for body armour.. from that point on was all over....

JTB - just realised i saw you and didnt talk to you mate... sorry.
