RUSS

Make your bloody mind up Russ, you said on BMXTalk earlier you were bringing your old school bike

As far as I know, there's no separate cruiser class on Sunday at the Pride of Essex race, so we'll all get lumped into 25+.

I did OS at the last round, so will probably do 25+ at this round.

There'll be some fast lads in there like Jules Allen, Stu Dixon, Tony Slater, John Stockwell, Mark Seaman, etc. But they can fight for the A-final slots and I'll be happy with a good result in the B.

I've come to the conclusion i'm not going to be totally happy until i've got a Dialled F+F.
Saw a 20" Titanium one a guy has in Cheltenham the other day - Stunning.

4 years wait for me, but luckily we all get lumped in together at Daggers.

Racing in 30-39 is great practice for 40+.

I feel faster now than I did when I first started racing again a couple of seasons ago. I was really cautious when I came back and that made me lack confidence when racing. 2 years in 30-39 (albeit at the back of the pack) has brought back the confidence. I know I'll never win any number 1 plates, but want to be a regular in South Region A-finals and National B-finals.

I hope we get enough people at regionals to have our own class rather than being lumped in with 16-29 and 30-39 cruisers.

Brandy Truffle · « **Reply #37 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:24 PM »

At 39 I wouldnt mind having a go at racing again. My 7yr old is showing real interest,but i live in Gloucestershire - the middle of no-where as far as BMX Tracks is concerned and no-one around here seems to be into it at all.

Quite sad really,as back in 1984 as a teen i helped design and build the Gloucester track in an old reservoir - complete with Bejing style start hill

Here's what we have now...

But i WILL make the effort to come and support you guys this year.Looks like great fun!

Your nearest ridable track is bristol, good track for beginners and after easter they have a wednesday evening club night racing which is
really good for all ages

Your never too old to start racing. Humps is well over 50, infact he may be nearer 60 now.

But if you ever see a picture of him racing you'll be blinded by his great big grin.

Are you kidding Mike at this rate we will have Semis in 40+ alone which is awesome, the 30-39
wont want to be in with us

Brandy Truffle · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:56 AM »

Yes Kev, we should have enough riders to more than fill our class. I just hope the 16-29 and 30-39 riders have enough for their class instead of sandbagging ours

Caddy555 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2008, 08:56 PM »

As the oldest rider in East Anglia can I have a head start and at least lead for what 5 yards before you serious boys woop my arse?

??

Oh well 54 this year so I will keep dreaming of the 50 + class, what do you reckon Humps?

Still I tell one thing this years 40+ either at Regional level or National level will be more entertaining than the Elite???

Wait for the fireworks now with that last comment/observation??

Cheers,

Paul.

I think its high time we had two new classes introduced!!! 40+ 20" and 50+ cruiser. The sport has had a big influx of older riders and its time to give them what they want

dialledbikes · « **Reply #48 on:** February 06, 2008, 09:00 AM »

If enough people do 40+ cruiser at nationals this year, then there will be a strong case to run a 40+ 20" class at nationals in 2009. But I can understand BC not running it this year as the last few nationals in 2007 only attracted about 8 in 40+ cruiser and were run Grand Prix format.

Therefore, I hope all the people who are eligible to race 40+ actually turn up, so we can show BC that the oldies are just as important to the growth of BMX racing as the youngsters.

Regardless of numbers in 40+ this year, I think they should run a 45+ Open Class next year, so that the likes of Caddy, Brian Dayson, Humps (even though he "don't do nationals"

) aren't excluded from racing because they're considerably older than most of the other 40+ riders.
