I've not been there for about 15 years, it was on private ground, the last time I was there we were chased off..
Thinking back, it did seem to rain alot.

I raced norwich, ipswich, brandon, lowestoft, pleasurewood hills (lowestoft), peterborough and once at woodham ferrers back in the day.
From 84 till about 89.

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:46 PM »

I was 12 in 85. Found my old club membership for brandon (flint town flyers) whilst looking for piccies...

harris · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:48 PM »

you are younger than me but you might have raced jason mills or he was a year older than you.
the tracks just about flattened but still has a bmx area .

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #15 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:52 PM »

Funny that! Yeah I raced Jason Mills. We used to do some elbow bashing. Cant remember any more names but, that one I know.

Chris.

harris · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:53 PM »

jason now ownes hardcorehobbies bmx shop in bury st edmunds.

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:57 PM »

You kid me! I picked up some comp III's there a few months ago!?

Flying_fox · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:08 PM »

Jason still races now in 30+, top bloke, if a little short.

I raced in the same agegroup as you then, but I did NBMXA in EA (UKBMX I did region 9). I raced against Millsey in the 80s a bit, so I might have raced you at some point.

Paul 'Paddy' Baker raced for Brandon I think, same age as us, do you remember him? He still races now, more 4X than BMX these days.

Hehe, i cant comment too much on the height, i forgot to stand in line when they were dishing the tall genes out as well.
We may well have raced, I was ok, nothing special mind, traded places with Jason alot.
A couple of names I can remember, Jim pestell, Simon browning, Richard everett? I think he was an ipswich guy..

Brandy Truffle · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2008, 09:48 PM »

Hehe. Great photos. I think i was there that day.Sure i have some photos as well somewhere. Remember Ruffell and Jay Maloney with their white Holeshot Hoodies all dirty at the back.

Good that someone got Andys bike on film,putting to bed the old wives tale that he never ran Redline Flights,only Aerospeeds.

Whether or not its true i dont know but after the threads stripped on those Aerospeeds i never saw him use them again.

thecrooch · « **Reply #22 on:** April 03, 2008, 10:12 PM »

i remember that XR3i when he lived in Woodham Ferrers!

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #23 on:** April 04, 2008, 08:49 AM »

Got to admit it, Ruffell was the man back then..

Pleasurewood hlls part 2....

First jump into pro section, inside line was steep, hard to speed jump even for pros...

Cool as GT team van, with fake side exit exhausts(check the pea shooter at the back)

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #24 on:** April 04, 2008, 09:14 AM »

A few shots of woodham ferrers in about 87

Final shot is me getting my usual stunning start, back in third.......
