Thanks for a great days racing guys. Shame only 5 of us stayed to race the final. I know it dragged on a bit, I got home at 11:30, but well worth it. Bring on Hersden!!!

looks like a proper fun day! loads of smiles all round! good weather too!

glad you all had a great time

loads of smiles? apart from this one

Maybe it was when I realised we have over 2000 members and only 10 showed up to race
DINGO

I'd be pissed of too if i only had one leg!

SaMAlex · « **Reply #29 on:** April 23, 2007, 01:37 PM »

There actually was a guy there yesterday with one leg, did any one else see him? He had a fake leg from below the knee and a fake foot with a normal shoe on. I think he was racing, but I didnt see him riding.

RATTY · « **Reply #30 on:** April 23, 2007, 01:40 PM »

Yep, I saw him, He does race, not sure if he did yesterday though, gotta hold yer hat off to him

harris · « **Reply #31 on:** April 23, 2007, 01:41 PM »

that chap was a nice guy and he does a bit of racing so i maybe should have had a roll round

SaMAlex · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2007, 01:45 PM »

There is a skater guy who has a fake leg like that and he rules. Kick flips over big gaps using the fake foot and everything!

Some people just dont let things stop them (and I include you in that Dan! You were cycling all around the place yesterday!)

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #33 on:** April 23, 2007, 04:34 PM »

Apparently just before I joined Mountain beach as a mtb guide there was a guest with one leg who did every ride and out rode a lot of people and in the US there is a one legged kid who rides clipped in with one foot and a bungy from his hip to the pedal on the other, makes you feel VERY humble stuff like that

DINGO

Great pictures guys - good to see so many old school dudes hanging out.

You should do a bunny hop comp at your next meet?

harris · « **Reply #35 on:** April 23, 2007, 05:46 PM »

you was ripping yesterday lee and you can start the hop comp .

oh thanks ratty for the pic of me (second pic) picking myself off the deck after crashing out of the 40+ cruiser final. last corner and chasing down hard on tony slaters back wheel. almost had a second place there ya know

defo a pic of my best side my left side is all beaten up and now need a new race top. thank god for body armour

RATTY · « **Reply #37 on:** April 23, 2007, 07:35 PM »

Hope your ok mate, was a bloody good race, I spared you the picture of you crawling out of the dust

, was good to see tony after so long, 1983 was the last time, he recognized me instantly, bit embarrassing really as I had to ask who he was

digitaltransfer · « **Reply #38 on:** April 23, 2007, 08:40 PM »

Ratty will speak to you about you gates perhaps you could give me some hints and tips

look at him go he had a wheel on everyone !!! what happened next

? perhaps you were running a too low gearing ? snap the power out the gate but could not hold it to the finish !!

SaMAlex · « **Reply #39 on:** April 23, 2007, 08:46 PM »

That is such a cool pic. Apart from is showing that Ratty can get out of the gate faster than anyone else, you can also see his redline, the Hutch and also the PK Ripper decals in the far gate. No chainless show only bikes there, even tho they were all worthy of it.

Good to meet more of you chaps yesterday. Looking forward to Hersden, hope the week at work doesn't drag.

Dingo you look like a proper warrior in that gear. Bloody scary.

Alex I almost pissed myself with excitement in one moto when I couldn't spot you so thought you'd crashed but then you landed again from about 20ft up in the friggin air.

From the look of that gate pic I need to work on the snap a bit.

harris · « **Reply #41 on:** April 23, 2007, 08:56 PM »

i have sunburn on my shoulders and it wasnt even that warm or sunny just nice

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #45 on:** April 23, 2007, 09:17 PM »

I have to wear goggles because of my contact lenses but they are a cool phsych out tool

DINGO

RATTY · « **Reply #46 on:** April 23, 2007, 09:19 PM »

I spent a day at Daggers last week practicing gates and have got them together a bit, still nothing like the elite boys, they rock!!

If any of you want to go to a gate practice, hook up with your nearest club, well worth the effort! It takes a while to loose the fear of hitting the gate!
Thanks for the comments guys, I just need to get fit, then lets see if the dvd men can catch me

Oh Dingo, I think this ones better!!!

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #47 on:** April 23, 2007, 09:22 PM »

I thought I had better post a pic of me from the front because there was only Alex who got to see it out on the track

DINGO

Great day fella's,agree with Russ about those gates Ratty,holeshot virtually everytime,did piss myself laughing in one race,you'd built up a pretty healthy lead until the triples on the back staright where you went all over the place,went down to 3rd by the next berm,then down to 4th(last) by the last berm,was funny watching mate....sorry

Great racing though.........loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!
Top bikes,top blokes....until the next time!!!!!
