the twin pinch flights were discussed and it was decided they were available when the bike was made.

To be fair to Ritchie he's been on the site for a few years before the site was down, only really posted in the O/S racing forum.

He is into his racing, taking part and winning at the Worksop meet a few weeks ago.

There's been dwindling numbers of racers at MK over the last 2 years, think he's more on about the reduced emphasis on racing at MK???

So basically is a very good racer, and is peeved as his victories felt hollow for him as RAD didnt supply enough competition for him??  ???
I think he's saying a trophy would be nice.  :daumenhoch:
Unless I'm reading this wrong.   :crazy2:

I thought that might be the case :daumenhoch:

I didn't race since I'm still undergoing treatment on my shoulder from last year's high speed crash :uglystupid2:
I didn't take any race gear on purpose, especially with Joff being there! And by fook did I regret it :-[

Next year :daumenhoch:

ye, maybe we we a couple of years out ed  :-\
we tried our best mate
it was a fookin hard job which took hours to do, tbh my head was mashed by the end of it as its a lot to look at consider and take in etc
nosepickben and custardlips can do it next year hey  :smiley6600:  :daumenhoch:

i know its an old chestnut but seriously

every bike deserved praise and all the builders should be proud of their efforts in sourcing and putting together these wonderful bikes


PS sorry richie for the threadjack
please do not take this as a snub  :crazy2:

I did feel sorry for the MK boys when we were doing the show and shine awards/raffle as we were seriously encroaching on their race timetable. The MK BMX crew are fantastic, firstly for allowing us to use their track for our radfest and secondly for taking the time out to organise the racing on the day, for that I would like to thank them very much!

I have to admit that I didn't get to watch a single race on Sunday as I was busy doing other things. As Nick has said maybe we could work something out for next year to highlight the racing and bring it back on top as it has been in previous years.  :daumenhoch:

Come on MK wouldn't be MK without somebody moaning about the weekend, whether it is S&S judging, toilets or the fact Misty and Roberta behind the bar wouldn't put out (they do actually, but you need to get them drunk).

I suppose though people have the right to moan as the entry fee for the weekend and the price of the beer is crazy......  :LolLolLolLol:

still, richie4, don't know if ya got a point, but yer voice is welcome though - no matter how good it's been this year, rad still needs the honest input about how you guys feel about all this, so everybody feel free to voice their o-pin-ion. Personally i think the issue shouldn't be about the nature of the prize, but more about whether it's a good idea to get racing have a (somewhat) more prominent role in one way or another :)

Well I am new to the scene, came to MK on the Saturday at the wrong time, mid lake ride and rode round there with a mate, had a beer back to the site, found everything I went for was not there, I went to buy parts. Then I came back on the Sunday with my partner and boy, only stayed for a few hours, I bought what had stuff that was left over after everyone else had their pick. Watched some racing, chated to loads of people. What a great event.
We want to come back next year for the whole weekend, I want to race and I'm 45 and will use an old school bike to do it, I will be racing for last place as I'm sure I'm rubbish but will have a great time doing it.
Also I need to know more about SnS, not to win, my bikes aren't that good or original, but because I enjoyed looking around the others and would like to let people look at my handywork.
