Just back from MK.

[BMX 151T]

What a top day out, really friendly bunch of people - spent most of the day chasing my 4yr old on his Mongoose and my 18mth old trying to climb over the fence onto the track!! so didn't get a chance to speak to many people. Absoultely loved the black & white mini Firebird Freestyler!!

I don't know who's the 2 dogs were opposite the haro stand but my 18mth old spent more time looking at them than the bikes!!

[etriedes]

What a fantastic weekend,  met some cool people, went for a great ride with sawzall and animal on sat night round the lake and then a blast round the track in the pitch dark, then sunday morning got to meet lewis hamilton dressed as a copper pretending to be luke skywalker ..
Top weekend

[Waxintaxin]

twas a good doo for sure ,thanks to all who made the effort to come along and enjoy the weekend. I thouroughly enjoyed most of yours company, great to have a chat to some new and old faces, Great to spend a bit of time with the RAD crew.
Really enjoyed our friday night fire session , with the £2.40 fire in a bag suedo logs   Scott nice on for the company and help packing up you 3 were stars   The sambuca session was messy  

The most embarasing moment for me was over in the helipad feild , in  front of Animal i went to skid to a stop to have a chat and as the pad is so slippy went for a burton and stacked it right in front of them , it hurt a bit , but had to do the old i'm fine routine, funny as you like.

some stupid people about thats for sure , nicking deisel from jennys and setting up Dwain with a copper visiting in the morning, uncalled for .

Good to chat to the manchester crew , JT ,Fish and Craig ,but whoever you brought over to the fire made made me chuckle for sure  

Pleased to get a show and shine place for the Floval ,proper chuffed.

Hope you liked the sounds, thanks to my co DJs ,Steve V,Rich Dirty Vans and Matt and Andy downlow, good to see you and top tunes all of you

[aerostylie]

Sound as a pound weekend

Enjoyed the atmos, the sounds, the displays, the racin, lots of goodies to buy, and just generally meeting peeps, without listing you all, you know who you are   Also not forgetting the support from the MK track, first aiders, sponsors and of course all rad members

And goes without saying, but I will anyway, to all those involved in organising the event, (haven't put names for fear of missing someone) in putting their time, money and effort to making this a great event......it must take a serious amount of dedication, a big big thankyou

Hope everyone is ok and you all had a good time.

Paul

[mark 2]

I had such a blast..........huge thanks to everyone who made it my highlight of the year, was a real pleasure to spend time with all of you that I did and see you all in 3D. Missed a few on my hit list who I wanted to meet but we'll do it all again soon, wish it was next weekend........ I had a right good laugh and your all to blame


 

[SaMAlex]

Man, what a weekend. I have been in a right mess of excitement for 3 days straight. Im not sure it has done me any good to have the massive physical exertion of riding round the WHOLE track several times, combined with the lack of sleep and the emotional overloads of the last few days.

Here’s some of the things that are sticking with me:

Spending some time with the crew I was with. Laz, Phil, General Lee, 2Bob, Lara. All of you are fine people and I would have had a great weekend with any one of you. The Laz and 2Bob show is why I didn’t get to sleep any earlier. I didn’t want to miss a thing.

Having such a good time on my bike. Riding the back straight on Sat evening with Phil was great. Always a pleasure to ride with CBCL. Riding the track on Sunday with James Hitchcox. Anyone who knows the riding James does and the Company he rides for will know how surreal it was for me and him to be sessioning a track together. I enjoyed racing so much. I managed to stay upright for all 6 races and carried out my prime objective of jumping everything I could and throwing in some skids along the way. I had one race that was the best so far. Proper elbows with Dingo, who I managed to bluff my way past, and then Cotty (I think) who had non of it, and beat be back like the amateur I am. I almost hugged him when we crossed the line, it was so much fun.

Getting told off by stodgy for not cleaning my red challenger, for the second year running. I know it was in the show n shine but Jedi wanted to ride on the track so I had to let him have a go on it. I only bought it with me cos I realised the other bikes I had were all chrome, and I hate chrome!

Doing some pit stop bike work with 2Bob. It was like working with a master (who kept telling me off for using the adjustable spanner the wrong way round). Nice and steady, one thing at a time, till the problem was solved. –thanks.

Lara racing for the first time. Full props to you for getting up there. And for throwing the sXe salute on the start gate before the last race. Loved it!

Seeing 2Bob and Laz on the track. I don’t see them riding enough and the smiles from them spoke volumes. Rob was even nailing some of the double and triple sets. Not bad for his first time on a BMX track!!

At the end of the Sunday we didn’t want it to end. Our small crew stood at the burger van (the tables had been packed away) drinking tea (they had to refill the earn for us), just to try and extend the weekend a little further. Even the rain just made us move to the S&S tent. Finally, when they took the tent down around us we admitted defeat and called the weekend over. On the way home I phoned General Lee to string things out. He didn’t even ask why I was called, he just carried on talking about bikes like we were still track side.

Thanks for everyone for organizing the event. I met loads more RAD users (some Im still not sure who they were), and caught up with loads I already know. Always a pleasure.

I can say nothing bad about the weekend. Top time had.

[downhill3375]

Good to chat to the manchester crew , JT ,Fish and Craig ,but whoever you brought over to the fire made made me chuckle for sure  

twas good of you to let us messy lot join you and sir matt around your fire at such a late hour

[generallee]

This weekend was the best weekend Ive had on a long long time... so many highlights -
so here's a list

JT71 and his crowd - pleasure drinking cider with you all afternoon and selling you most of my stuff... and then buying stuff from you!

Dan Harris - your tent was the main hang out area - and your mrs is so cool - she even took over selling my stuff for me when it was race time!

Gary PoolySherriff and Dwain Dibbly - so cool to drink with you - dwain you are hilarious, great bikes too, and Gary - what can I say? you are a diamond.

Se Bmxer Jai - thanks for the frame- your stall was dangerous - Shiner goodies from yesteryear!

Dave and Billy and all the Rad team - this was a top weekend, you should be very very proud.

Waxin - amazing diplay mate!

Lee - stop it now. You have too many perfect bikes! Love it.

TwoBobRob, Laz and co - I laughed til I felt sick around your campfire. You rule.

Southbank Scott - Loved your old Torker being pulled out of your mums loft and brought there - all rust and abuse - I love that bike, one pf my faves of the weekend. My other faves were Harris Dirt Bros and Sawzalls sidehack... and one other.. more on that in a mo.
Monkey Biscuits, Gashead, Lil Gashead, Ratty and Mrs Ratty , Del, Ron Burgundy, Mad Dog, MotomagII, Firebird, SteveP, Kuwahero, Bananaman, Philbert, Sawzall, and everyone else I met for the first time, it was a pleasure, so nice to make new friends.

Last but not least - S&MAlex - top man as ever to hang out with, i think I actually love you. Great laughs, and a bit of cleaning up in the mid schol section between us!
My total fave bike of the whole show, was Alex's S&M Mad Dog - and was an honour to see it - and really would have loved it to win its category. Instead, some cnut from the telly got the trophy. Celebrities eh? Tw@ts. all of em.
 
In all seriousness - top weekend... a year cant pass quickly enough now!
steve
