not going to get to involved in this debate because it's not my thing, but,and a big but, mountain bike at a bmx race, that's where it would have stopped for meand yes it is the riders fault as well, why bring a mountain bike to the brits in the first place bmx is bmx and mtb is mtb thats it, can no one who runs these events say it like it is last thing i would like to know is this guy who brought along his mtb to a bmx event,what the fook was he thinking, sorry guys but the racer and the organisers are to blame,put RATTY in charge

how unfair for someone with gears and front or possibly even rear suspension (theres a few full sus 4x mtb out there at moment) to be in a race against fully rigid single speeders. shame on that rider for even participating in that race.if the mtb rider had any decency or sense of sportsmanship, he would have refused to participate in such an unfair race.YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF if you read this, whoever you are. whichever cycling federation allowed this should know better. they're supposed to promote cycling, whatever style it may be. but lets keep it all on a fair and even playing field for all. next thing children and adults will all be racing in the same classes!!!! and beginners, novices and professionals all together in the same class as well. fairplay?? seems that thats for the losers. we may as well tell our children the way to win is to cheat and use underhand dirty tactics.my heartfelt sympathy and upmost respect to the rest of you in the race who played by the rules. at least you can all hold your heads up high with pride and dignity. well done you chaps/chapesses.
if you found a loophole that meant you could ride an engine powered bike in a bmx race, what would you do?
Fire the bugger up. Formula One teams spend millions exploiting loopholes so I say it goes. If you don't like it change the rules.
It sounds to me as though BMX governing bodies are as sh*t these days as they were in the 80's, good to see nothing changes.
Anyone heard of the browning two speed? (gears) Proforks?(front suspension) OM flyer? (26" wheels) these are all old /mid school bmx equipment but add them together and you have what Dave was riding, I think the main problem here arises from the apparent lack of qualifying (but apparently Dave got dispensation for missing Regionals because they clashed with 4x Nationals)its the rules and the way they are interpreted that is at fault methinks? DINGO p.s remember this?http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=026631#000000
