You guys have my utmost respect for taking those bikes and actually racing them. I take mine on the track but a lot of the guys would just cringe at the thought of taking their bikes out of their carpeted location.

Pro-tec · « **Reply #53 on:** April 30, 2007, 07:32 PM »

Cheers for that dude. Some say it's a shame to mothball 'em and some say it's a shame to ride 'em and I can respect both perspectives. Me and the GHP go waaaaayy back. I ride mine because I've been it's proud owner since '84. However, its the only BMX I've got so I have no choice. I would love to have the discipline to build a museum piece and stick it on the wall never to be used. But if I'm honest no matter how many bikes I end up with, be it right or wrong, I know I will never resist the temptation to take 'em for a blast.

RATTY · « **Reply #54 on:** April 30, 2007, 07:42 PM »

Its a hard call sometimes, but they are bikes at the end of the day, not to be hung on a wall and seen once a year, they need to be ridden and shown to everyone, especially the youngsters, they need to know how it started

Pro-tec · « **Reply #55 on:** May 02, 2007, 05:59 PM »

Damn right! It's not as if we ruin them, we just use them. After all, a wrecked bike is no good for racing so we HAVE to look after 'em. They can handle it, it is what they were made for non?

BMX's were built to be ridden on the streets, raced on the tracks and hurtled in the air in the skate parks

Not wrapped up in bubble wrap with no chains on and hung on the bloody wall

You people know who you are

Pro-tec · « **Reply #57 on:** May 04, 2007, 04:33 PM »

I reckon this debate deserves its own topic so the mothballers can find it and have their say. We could call it, 'Mud, good or bad? Discuss..' Like I said, I respect both perspectives but I would like to see what motivates people to build a dream OS bike only to photograph it then tuck it away never to be seen again. These guys are undoubtedly as passionate about BMX as OS racers are and it'd be nice to see what makes 'em tick.

I must admit to having two that I will never ride in anger, purely on the basis of how much cash they cost to put together. Saying that I may race 1 of them on the last race at Milton Keynes

I THINK IF ITS GOT WHEELS AND IT MOVES , RACE IT

I have my old Robinson race bike and I have my bike to just look at.

Subject to Rattyfication but here's the positions as I saw them:

Don't foget it's best 6 rounds count so one more in the pot and then we start losing your worst scores. Humps

RATTY · « **Reply #63 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:04 AM »

Humps, fantastic job as usual, thanks! I wish we hadnt given Gary them points now, I wouls have gone in front of him

Oh well better to do it the right way!!

Big thanks to Hersden, a fantastic day for everyone. Thanks to all the OSSS riders who contributed to the trophy fund, you guys rock

Hope webdawg and Gary are OK, you both took nasty falls, Gary get some body armour mate, you scared the shit out of me today.

Well done Sam, a nice result mate, and Jas your still series leader... Feels good I bet

Oh well, looking forward to the next round!!! Its gonna be a good one

SE MARK · « **Reply #64 on:** June 12, 2007, 04:36 PM »

Look at the points . Im coming for ya Ratty in the next race mate , 10th place Se mark 11th place Ratty . Now that sounds better

Zippy · « **Reply #65 on:** June 12, 2007, 08:32 PM »

Looks like I will be at Daggers now as it doesn't clash with Hersden after all. So that'll be daggers, MK and then Hersden that I'll be racing against you guys again this summer. then roll on winter for the full assault.

RATTY · « **Reply #66 on:** July 16, 2007, 07:05 PM »

Daggers race Sunday,

AS MICK JACKSON ONCE SAID"I'LL BE THERE" WHENEVER YOU CALL ME...........I'LL BE THERE"

Humps00 · « **Reply #68 on:** July 22, 2007, 08:29 PM »

Here are the results you've all been waiting for. Te Harve still has his name at the top of the list but now he and Tony Riley have started to lose their worst results - the only two to have competed in all rounds so well done guys. Will be interesting to see what the "drop two rounds" rework that QuadPaul does produces. Enjoy. Humps

As before the results are subject to Rattyfication.

RATTY · « **Reply #69 on:** July 22, 2007, 10:11 PM »

Look great to me Alan, thanks once again for putting the time and effort in

Humps00 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 23, 2007, 01:10 PM »

Correction needed on Te Harve's points - missed the 28 and took off 32 instead. Add another 4 to his score - just gets worst doesn't it!! Will correct and repost tonight. Humps

17:30 Updated

Ooh will this be updated again so we can see just how close the points finished ??

RATTY · « **Reply #72 on:** August 06, 2007, 12:00 PM »

We did the points on Sunday so the presentation could be done, I will send them to humps for his magic touch when he gets back from holiday

Thanks Tony

Can see you put them on the other post now anyway

I thought the top 3 were closer than that .. just shows how much damage a fall can do doesnt it (and I dont mean in injuries)

Well Done again to everyone

Reckon they'll be even more people in the series next summer

RATTY · « **Reply #74 on:** August 06, 2007, 11:04 PM »

Tbh Sharon, at the end of the race when the gang sat down to do the points we were amazed at how close it finished, There was never a clear favourite to emerge at any time, the lead kept changing hands. I think Paul and Sam will regret the races they missed as both could have relied on better races and had yesterdays points dropped. But that is racing and who would want it any other way
