Anyway back to Dagenham...

Loved it, when I cheered up, I think I just had a grumpy morning!

Masters was mental as ever, but I've ended up with a sore thought from breathing in Martin Parkers dust all day. I've also ended up with a very stiff neck, no sympathy from my missus or mother, both said if you ride that dirty you deserve it...::)

The trophy presentation for the BAD Winter Series was a nice touch, my nephew was over the moon with his trophy and number plate, he's taking it to school today to show his class. :4_17_5: I've got some pictures of a few of the yongsters looking chuffed with themselves, I post them later tonight when of dragged the off of the camera.

The 40+ racing was class to watch, well done all you guys superb racing. I can't wait for Bournemouth for the big showdown decider.

The toughest age group yesterday looked like the 8's. Most of the top national rides in there, fantastic to see the standard getting that high for them in the South, it can only do the little guys good.

Oops I did wander a little then didn't I. Having a very quiet day at work, so my brains free to wander LOL

I wish there was someone at regionals who filmed the races. Would love to see the 40+ final, and most of the masters moto's right through to the final. Deffo the most entertaining class to watch!

Your right Roooonga, it is a shame no one films at the regionals. I would film the cruisers and old school on my camera, but my hands go really shakey after racing, I've tryed before and it's never the best quality. I could do some filming at Bournemouth and the South Champs @ the bay if anyone wanted to take the tape, edit it and upload it, I never get the chance.

I don't actually like watching myself race, I can't stand my riding style, but I do make myself laugh with some of the moves I pull off.

Miles, try using a face mask next time, or pedal faster if you want to avoid breathing my dust :LolLolLolLol:
Masters was (and always will be) great racing - love it.

I was closely watching your lines, I was going to do the business in the final, but it took me the whole track to navigate my way rounds Warlock's fat ass. :LolLolLolLol:

Looks like the 40+ cruiser title is going down to the wire with Jon Moore just 2 points ahead of Keith Wilson.

Jon will have home track advantage at Bournemouth, but I'm sure will fight to the end (if he's going to B'mouth that is).

Def going to bournemouth now, went down last weekend to practice the track, jumped some of it but not all so going back next weekend to get it 'right'. It will go down to the wire between Jon & me & yes we'll both give it our all!!!  :2gunsfiring_v1: (mind you if Kev (k-ran) gates like he did yesterday he'll probably beat us both!!)

We can thank Phil Beer for me being around this season as it was only cos he knocked me off at the first race & i was in the 'B' final that day that i decided to race again to show myself i could do better than 'B' finals!!

Next season i wont be riding a four year old clunker with creaky cranks,  buckled wheels, bent forks & bald tyres, i'll be 'dialled up' hopefully!!

Will anyone be able to tell us apart next year if we're on the same bikes/kit, enough people come up to me now & have a chat then say 'ok Jon see you later'!!!  :D

clipping in once is a bit like bumming another man once - even if you don't like it and never do it again, you're still a bit gay for trying it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That is just the funniest thing I have every seen :LolLolLolLol:     Please say You will produce a range of Dialled T-shirts , with that Caption on the back !            Heres my order for one in XL,  how much and where do you send the cheque ???

Here are those pics of a few of the kids getting their trophies from the winter series.









KGBMatt, I sent you a PM, I've got another one of Nick as well, if you want the mega hi-rez files let me know.

Nikki/Ratty, I got a few of Josh and Matt, as above if you want the hi-rez files give me a shout.

And I'm being dim here, can some one tell me how to get photobucket to show them in portrate format....

Mike, I was thinking about going clips next year. Does that make me gay just thinking about it?

No Mart, as the first rider in the UK to do tailwhips on dirt you'll never be gay.  Thinking about clipping in just makes you bi-curious  ;)

Seriously though, I'm totally over the whole clips thing and accept they're now just part of BMX.  I wasn't joking when I said I might try them in practice, hence my "little bit gay" comment.

Fook clips, there`s no way I could ride without putting my foot down a few times, as you may well have noticed this season  ???
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

I can`t imagine the thoughts that must go through your head  as you faceplant the ground with your feet still attached to the pedals  :crazy2:

good day yesterday.pulled my back a bit lifting a speaker at the start of the day and then totally mangled it coming off in my final.few days off for me i think :'(..beat bernie shalle in a moto which i have never done before unless he's fallen off so that was pretty cool.
   great to see so many riders who started racing at hersden now riding at regionals and doing so well.just goes to show we must be doing something right. :)
   well run meeting,being home by 6.30pm was great.normally 7/8pm at least.wind was a bugger as i wanted to get the 1st straight dialled in but didnt seem to affect the racing.got some proper leg out berm moves done in nearly every race i think.
   big up eastkents Issac Lennon.1st race at a regional and came home in 3rd.well done bro. :4_17_5:
   
thanks for the mention jazzyje ,i had a great days racing ,Isaac . :2gunsfiring_v1:
