Reverse steering BMX

[dinglem]

I have seen these mentioned previously....

Does anybody have access to, or a link to someone who might have, a reverse steering BMX?? I am looking to borrow one to raise some funds at a charity event in November.

Can anybody help?

Cheers Mart.

I'm think Kappy had one  .

I've seen one at MK a few years ago.

Darren Wilson on FB

Thanks Nick - have messaged him 

[dinglem]

Is anybody friends with/in contact with Darren Wilson as mentioned above please? I have Fb messaged him but as we aren't friends on there I think it might have gone to his 'Other Messages' folder as it has been a few days and he hasn't viewed the message.

Just take the piss out of one of his eBay listings on here, and he'll show up, that's what happened last time.

Well you can't beat the Old School BMX scene.

I've only been hunting for a couple of days and this afternoon I managed to secure this on loan free of charge for our charity event.

'The Backwards Burner Challenge'

Simon Doyle hooked me up with the owner and I spoke to him a little earlier.

Amazing.

So the next thing is to try to drag a few RADsters along to our event. Do any of you lads play rugby at all, or anybody fancy a run-out for us? I won't lie it was brutal last year but we all came off the pitch having loved it. My old 6th form captain was Colin Charvis, the ex-Wales captain, and he has agreed to join our team this year. Should help a bit..... 

There will be loads of other stuff going on to help raise funds on the day - bit of a kids fun day really which the lovely wife is arranging. I'm playing around putting a poster together at the minute and here it is as it currently stands.

LMK if any of you fancy popping along or playing. I'll probably start up a match-specific thread a little later on.

Well our second charity rugby match went really well at the weekend - loads raised, the reverse steering BMX proved very popular (and difficult) indeed, and Colin Charvis did indeed turn up and play for us against Lichfield RFC. The day was a huge success and we raised a little under 2000pounds for our CRY charity, with the icing on the cake being that our fully funded heart screening event is now 100% booked out in February.

On a personal level however, things didn't go quite to plan. Whilst defending on our own try line i managed to prevent the opposition touching down in the corner, only to end up like this 30minutes later:-

I dislocated my left shoulder in the tackle.... 2 hours of manipulation and brute force (plus morphine and gas & air) later it eventually popped back in. Not recommended

Great event you are arranging there. 

On another note that injury looks painful.

Proper NHS equipment... 'we'll just get you to hold this for a bit to see if it'll pop in on its own...'

It didn't.

I'm still very very sore over a week later, and to top it off i had to fly out to Uruguay for work the very next morning. Arseflakes.

But yeah - great event and loved each of the 15minutes i actually lased on this pitch this time around! Getting a bit too old for this shit methinks
