Only 4 days to go!!!! Wooo Hooo!

Some great news:

With the support of Stu Dawkins (Backyard genius & Seventies top man), we are pleased to announce that we will be running a Backyard style Jump Box competition at the RADBMX Xmas Bash!

The aim is to recreate those Backyard comp days with everyone crowded around a jump and it all... well, just goes off! With riders like John Taylor, Dennis Wingham, Paul Meacher, Alex Leech, Geoff Cain, Billy Purcell, etc, present - you can guarantee a great show!

The lovely TwoBobRob will be running the comp, and together with Stu will be judging to find the winners.

Categories (there will be one for novices too!), judging rules and prizes from Seventies will be posted later today.

The comp will start at 8pm.

Big thanks to Stu, Colin and John and Seventies/Backyard for supporting this idea! We love you!

You'll be able to sign up on the night (see TwoBobRob) - but it'll help us if you can post here and say 'Hell man, I'm in!'

Ah, crap! I was at Creation last week and the only time I rode the jump box was when we rode it like a mini ramp cos the mini ramp was out of action. I wish I had done some jumps now

(I wish I could DO some jumps now! lol)

I wish I could just get over that jump box, let alone do any cool stuff.

No no - don't do that!! THe event is for riding!

There is going to be a novice section too - it's all about effort not just skill!!

TwoBobRob is running the comp for us...I know he has a great set of rules and categories coming later tonight.

But yes, you're right, it should be great!!!!
