[kennyhunter6061]

can we have subtitles on the others 

Say again???

[Paulo]

Great vidoes guys. Those guys are too fast. Could we force them to ride 16" bikes?

[Niall76]

Nice video Rab.

Right, who mentioned Beer?...........

 

[kuwahero]

Nice one.

Anyone heading to the track on Thrusday?



Did I hear someone mention beer?..............

[MarkMcPake]

  Doc said I have not to ride for two weeks so I guess I will not be through till the 21st.

Good luck to the Guy's in Leeds this weekend 

[bmxr]

I'll be headin up on thurs about 7ish, hopefully the gate will be there.

The Leeds track is at the end of the Leeds Airport Runway if anyone else decides to go at the last minute on stand-by; just toss yer bike over the security fence & I'll get u at the other side.

[Paulo]

Good luck at Leeds at the weekend guys. Sorry I couldn't make it tonight. Looked like perfect weather as well.

Check out the titans site www.titansbmx.co.uk.  It's looking sh!t hot. Well done Stevo

Alright Guy's Round 4 on Sunday, Im sure it will be another Excellent day, Talking with Kenny tonight, We were thinking of having a extra race on Sunday with the top four riders in the 17+ and the top four of the OS . Just wanted your thoughts nothing in it just for the fun of it. Comments Please............

[tonloc]

Sounds like a good idea.   Would be nice to see how the OS fairs against the new school.    My bros just bought a new school redline so we will see if he makes scrutineering.   Everyone going based on it being fathers day on Sunday?

[Niall76]

Balls!  it's my nephew's birthday on Sunday and there's a BBQ at 2pm.  lots of food and yep, you guessed it - beer.......

I'm thinking about going to the racing anyway but I suspect the racing won't get going until about half 1 or so..... hmmmm, might not be able to actually....

BUM!

Have the BBQ at the Track - We won't mind   

[Niall76]

hah!  That would suit me.....

By the way - OS vs NS - definitely a good idea.

[kuwahero]

A Final

5. Scott Davidson
8. Kenny Scullion

[Rab-Lambie]

Yeh sounds like a good idea regarding OS v NS...

As Tony said, i ended up, right at the last minute today buying a NS "redline pro" much to my disapointment!

Had my heart set on the NS Kuwahara Laser Light team bike, but i am really only wanting to ride OS with my mates from yesteryears...
With that in mind, I did not realise i couldnt ride OS on a NS bike... so rather than drag out me getting a bike any longer, i have have decided to buy two. a NS bike to get me practicing and at least racing whilst i find a decent OS bike.
I have have made a post in the "WANTED" section of this site and im trawling the net to find something to suit me, bearing in mind im a bit of a bit taller than Spen! 

I am going to pop into Dales on Thursday afternoon for some body armour, shinnies, Gloves and Helmet, so will see you all Thursday night for gate practice. This is were you will all get a bloody good laugh at my expense!  Just remember ive only had a go round the track a few times on Kenny's bike... before that it was 20 years ago... so thats my excuse and im sticking to it.  oh and ill have hay fever... and did i mention the 20 year thing?   

anyway, anyone got any good suggestions where i can source a good OS bike online?

I cant remember who it was i spoke to last thursday, maybe bret or mark, but one of you had a matt grey Bell helmet. Did you buy this through Kenny at the club? If he sells these or anything else anyone can recomend please pm me or reply here as ide rather buy through the club if they have what i am after. which would have been the bloody redline i bought today, but ide never had got it in time for thursday due to me leaving till last minute yet again. 

see you all there!

[Davey]

Aw rite Rab.

I got my my Bell helmet  from Alpine bikes St Georges cross last year for £55.

Davey.

[MarkMcPake]

Hey Rab,

Most of the os guy's are thinking of going new school soon, fun times ahead - god you never now we might even get a semi in 17 + 

cheers
Mark

Davey.

ahhh it was you that had it then david...  thanks mate, ill probably stote round there and have a look too...

yeh i think a few where talking about buying new bikes mark which would be good. Just a pitty it couldnt be kept old school but racing NS bikes. best of both worlds then...

[MarkMcPake]

yeah the OS Guy's can still race in 17+ and there are no rules on age of bikes. I think there is talk of a combined race at the Club Champs in Sept.... Should give you enough time to get back to it Rab  . We are very lucky to have such a good group at the club to bring on the other riders... The Brits on the 19/20 Sept should be excellent if we can get enough of the the team to head down. We can have a chat to everyone on Sunday and try to get some interest and numbers

Davey are you back to Race fitness mate ??

[Davey]

Hi Mark.

Race fitness.... naw..... Race fatness...... aye.......
I will be racin on Sunday tho. Not expecting much untill a get a few under my belt then hopfully (which is a big hopfully) I will be more competitive for you guys in the future. As long as I don`t do my usual and fall.

Rab u will get an old school bike no probs either on this site , BMX talk. or others. U KNOW THAT ANYWAY....


DL

[archboi]

Any racing thats adds a bit of excitement is fine by me and top 4 from each o/s and n/s finishes sounds great.Even have a b-final too from 5th-8th from each. The more the merrier.It will get you fit if nothing else.

Looking to buy a new school bike this week too but if we have a combined race it might not matter as i enjoy the o/s and dont want to abandon it...

see you all there!

I got my Bell helmet for free when I was born.......

Keep your eyes on fleabay, and ask on BMX talk too.  As for gear - ask Kenny H, I don't really rate Dales.

See y'all Thursday...

[Rab-Lambie]

does anyone know Kenny Scullions email or username on here. i'm wanting to find out what type of bars it is he is using on his Ripper?
Ive a funny feeling this redline i bought will have its bars sorta turning into me and i cant run bars like that and being out the loop so long i dont know of any by brand or size etc to order online...
anyway, the ones kenny has suited me fine so thought ide ask in case i need to order a pair for sunday.
