That can't be Ratty coasting over the bumps at walking pace can it? Well, it aint the case these days. Not trying to psyche anyone out (much) but that vid shows just how much Ratty and the rest of the OS regulars have upped our game this year. Anyone at last year's MK OS race is gonna have to find another 10 seconds at least to even keep up with the OS Summer series regulars this year. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

One of the mods must have read this by now!!! Im sure they will agree to an hour on saturday for a masterclass. I propose Wolfy and Flying fox to do it and MatDubb if he has time. It could be a valuable hour for all of us as you never stop learning.

Cheers Tim, but it is the truth, the OSSS07 riders have gone from being Xtras in Casualty to a fast and furious bunch of riders.

Andy, Falling off in your 2nd Moto....I stacked in my first and really didnt wanna do it again.......

And Dingo, I have nothing but respect for you, you are a quality racer, I was behind you at MK when you got out of shape over the little double, most riders would have been lying in the dirt, but you showed the skill and experience to ride out of it, I was sure you was going down.....

Thanks Tony, I have respect for every single rider who lines up on the gate, it takes nuts to do it

, BUT yeah I thought I was going down too

I love all this banter and cant wait for MK

Just hope the birth of my first baby doesnt screw it up (due August 2nd)

DINGO

Paul, you wont do any better than getting over to your local club, and watching their training or pop down to an OSS race,

Birmingham Wheels is my local but I think it's in the progress of being re-built but I'm gonna go over there one of the weekends to check it out and try and get involved.

I was thinking that there may be some Rad members who will be breaking their 'cherry' at MK, so thought about a collective tutorial or practical.

Paul

The ride & build club meet day is wednesday 4pm-7pm. they need more help from BMX racers too, as it seems to be leaning toward a mtb/4x track.
