Agree w/ Stidds.

Compared to Reade Phillips did a rather better job me thinks. Olympic final is great.

Good analysis on the state of Ready by now. (You been a racer Stidds?  ;))  :daumenhoch:


I raced lots bitd Pedestrian, rode for JMC, GT etc.

 :shocked: i didnt know that Stidds. Respect.
All i made was a bike shop sponsor deal with GT in Munich, and later when i was 30+ a shop deal with Staats in Bremen.

cool guy here Stidds.  :daumenhoch:

See not just a pretty face am I  :LolLolLolLol:

Here are a couple of pictures one from my JMC days and one from my GT days.

woo- hoo! Good stuff here. :daumenhoch:

You were riding in Eire or England bitd?

i remember no German BMX racer ever riding for JMC. I think that brand was just too noble and expensive for German market. ;)
But GT was rather common.

I think all this comes down to race experience, a year ago she won the Olympic test event by a mile, has barely raced since then and although from a fitness and physical prep she would be ready to peak i think it did her no favours mentally, IMO you need to be racing and consistently beating riders to gain confidence and trounce all over a field of that stature  :daumenhoch:

Phillips was just awesome  :daumenhoch:

ok. So youre pretty much English, with Irish heritage. Now i get it.

me and my family once came over from Bavaria (Munich) to Hamburg when i was 14. My dad got a much better paid job here.
 Now being a completely assimilated Northern guy, called a Hamburger Fischkopp (Hamburg Fishhead)  :2funny:

Reade seen flat. Even in practice she didn't seem to have that little extra that some of the others had.
Phillips on the other hand, looked great. Reckon he would have have got silver or bronze.

Was a great afternoons racing regardless of the results.
