Just back from MK.
« on: August 03, 2008, 02:56 PM »
Just got bck from  MK with my eldest son. Had a fantastic 2 days, met some really great people that i have always wanted to meet and also saw some ridiculously good builds! :smitten:

I would like to thank all of the Northern Monkeys for making my son and i very welcome. They leant me a jacket, and fed us and gave us drink last night. Top top top top blokes!  :daumenhoch:

Had to leave a bit sudden so i am sorry i didnt get to say goodbye to everyone.

Well done Rad. :4_17_5:

Just got back myself Nick, shame we never got to meet up. I did get to meet Joe (jt71), Steve (general lee), Dom & Jay at the Haro stand (fooking awesome turn out there!!!!), Rob (rarman) and Rob (pickle), Motomag (greg), Flatcap (daz) plus many others, shame that I didn't get to speak with Mark J, Marc, JT or Wardy. I enjoyed it, never got any bargains as such as everything had gone but the show and shine was amazing but I got my Shimano DX seat post (thanks Martin). Will deffo get there around mid-day next year with a blanket, a ton of food and wine and enjoy it more and chill. Thanks to everyone that made it possible, I really enjoyed it and it was great to meet so many people that I speak to on here.

P.S. Will post up some photos soon!  :D

Just got back from my first MK, and first race meet in nearly 20 years.

I just gotta say that watching free practice on the track brought back a lot of memories.

And i've not seen that many sh1t hot bikes in a long time.

Hats off to all the organisers, they deserve a nice cold beer....

Was also my first Rad and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Got there about 11.00 am this morning and left around 2.30pm.

Met a few faces, watched a bit of racing, bought a few bargains (Kashi Aero for a fiver anyone), and stood in amazement at some of the builds.

Highlights for me included the Haro stand (gobsmacked), the white Hutch XL24 hidden near the back, the Nomura, TRM and my fave of the day was Sawzalls white Rebel race frame.  Nice meeting you too Sawzall, glad I found out who's it was...  :daumenhoch:

Finally, I will defo be going next year, hopefully with my bro and my Rebel Freestyler in tow.

Just got back from the best weekend I've had in ages ... man, I'm still buzzing now  :D

Those of you I did get to meet are simply amazing people and I'm gutted I missed so many other members too  :(

I've seen some incredible bikes too and I'm still stuck for words TBH ... I did take almost 300 photos so I'll post a few up as soon as I can

A massive, massive THANK YOU to all the organisers involved ... RADBMX is fookin' brilliant  :daumenhoch:

What can I say, getting to this MK has been a struggle, after cutting myself shaving recently its been a bit of a mare, but meeting some old friends, and some new ones really rocked.

Seeing how good Dan Harris looked is an inspiration.

Seeing the scottish boys on the first night started a ball rolling that hasnt really ended yet, a fantastic weekend, some great people, loads of great bikes, close racing and an atmosphere that rocked.

The guys who run this event deserve a huge pat on the back, it was awesome.

Sorry if I didn't recognize anyone who I should have, I will next time.

I wanna say thanks to my fantastic partner who helped me get through the weekend in one piece, sorry about riding the bike hon.. :smitten:

I have been looking forward to this for a long time, cant wait till next year when I finally have a crack at racing BOF, Kenny hunter etc..


The team at RAD did a fantastic job, well done guys.

Till next year guys :daumenhoch: :4_17_5:
A long time ago, in a land far away!
