What have they done to it ? ? ? ? ?

The first straight is hard work now. Speed jump? More like a launch pad and the first set of doubles is like the top half of the himalayas at Hayes, they proper throw you up but you have none of the incline to take some of the speed off, and the first berm is like something from the Elvis Presely film Roustabout, a proper wall of death.

Gonna be fun on Sunday.

Im really getting worried about this now. Is this track suitable for my 4 and 7 year old?

They can just about make it around Dagenham

Why cant people leave things alone

Don't think you will have to worry about the kids, it's your hubby you wanna be worried about.

first speed jump imagine 2 milk crates and a lump of ply

1st set of doubles imagine the hymilayas but with out the really steep slope to slow you down before take off

2nd set of doubles same as the first but now your your turning aswell

then a very loose long bumpy berm and the rest of the track is the same as before

1 word for the 1 straight HORRIBLE and the the 1st berm is shocking as well.

I really can't wait for Sunday now.....to be over, with no injuries hopefully

I think i might sit this one out.

After all i can drop two worst results and still be last............. but at least ill be alive.

My tactic is to turn up

Wont be riding hard as my ribs still hurt, not to bad pulling on the bars but try and flick the back wheel up a kerb

Let you all crash while I stay upright for a change.
