Bournemouth Regional v MK08

[darren]

Hold your hourses guys and gals your regional ranking is taken from your best 6 results in the series not every result.

No one should be missing MK08

Especialy as we set the date first

sw set theres way before anyone else and i gotta do only 9 out of 11, so i could possibly give decoy a miss and come show zippy what the back of my raceshirt looks like 
i will be up for the inter regional so can collect my winter trophy if you still have it lee ??

Right having a bit of an internal debate as to whether to go to the Regional at Bournemouth or the RADBASH.

I missed the Andover regional so I need to get as many points as possible for the Regional points position. On the other hand I raced at MK07 and that was a huge laugh and I've only got quicker since then.

Ohhh decisions, decisions, decisions.

Si don`t bother going to MK if it`s a win your after, cos I`m going to be doing old school and you will behind me 

Right, if you're racing old school Bill then so am i, still got my factory Torker at home begging to be raced!!

oh bring it on boys....  this could be a corker!

We`ll have to try and talk Tony and Craig to pop along to, even if they don`t race

MOORO I think had Geoff shown us a bit more interest at B'mouth 05 we'd still be having the yearly bash there.  I understand why he didn't, he'd had a long national weekend and by the Monday we were perhaps more of a sideshow but as most of us had only come down on the Sunday and Monday for the old skool bash and were expecting more of the same experience as of  the year before but unfortunately we were not given quite as good a welcome as we'd received in 04, for obvious reasons. That added to the logistics (MK is a lot easier for the lads up north) tipped the balance in MK's favour for 06 and we’ve not looked back since. There's a bit more history there than you know about and maybe Jeff does have some sour grapes about it but then maybe again he don't.

That said though it was top notch at B'mouth 04. Geoff did us proud that year.

05 was a lesson learned though which is why we don't do MK on the same weekend as a national.

We've come a long way since then though and as for regionals? That's up to you. If you've not made enough races this year that you have to miss out on the RADBMX.CO.UK yearly bash you can't have wanted to be there that much in the first place can you?

I don't disagree though that MK is perhaps a track more suited to our old bones but that's not Bournemouth’s problems is it? In fact why am I even waffling on about it?



MK08. Comming soon!

[AL]

 
I am sure Rad 08 will be a success.
  would have loved to come along with my old  De, coster and had a roll round, and a few beers ..

BUT... my sons  going to want to Race B-mouth regional , Champ points etc ..


Still bloody crazy, to have MK08  the same  day as ....  South ,  South west,   Midlands, +  East Anglia regionals 

[Bob_Acid]

We set the date before the regional dates were set.

[oldmankev]

Even Darren F is not sandbagging it this year  because
of regional commitments.

Thats the problem   !!....     

We were sat round the table at the South AGM..   The Regionals cant be agreed , before the nationals are confirmed... 

 Add in Inter regionals,   and  Bournemouth having probs , with  the use of the football pitch for parking / camping on other dates , hence the  clash ...

Think we all need to learn from this and , not let it happen next year ...

[MOORO]

Ditto..the above (BMX nationals and intl's) and add in The 4x nationals which three of bmths main helpers take part in and the fact you need to have run a certain number of regionals before the Brits and your left with .....well, one possible weekend !

[Mattdub]

Mooro & AL ,

I'm bored now , I've gone into detail ref when & why things were/were'nt announced etc in the other thread here launching the event .

It will never please everyone , in life things are like that  .

I suppose it'd be the same if someone decided to get married on a regional/national date , everyone's up in arms !! 

Ultimately we work with MK BMX Club where the event is held , the other date on the table was the w/end before Brits which I think would've been much worse with peeps either not wanting to ride in case the hurt themselves or the others who could'nt afford 2 weekends away on the trot . Clashing with regionals I see as no big deal because you DON'T HAVE TO ride all of them . 

Keith , it would be great to see ya there  .

[magna13]

Well that's that sorted then.


MK08 here I come. Oh and we get to race it in two weeks time as well. 

glad your making the right choice Zippy
