Right I'm off on the Piss for 2 days.

I'm going to Sheffield to watch a couple of frames of snooker and to drink myself stupid(er)

What time you picking me up?

Why not just ask Abi Taylor to take plenty of shots of the OS races, she's usually there anyway. Then just let Abi ping off her gallery to BMXWorld and let them choose the shots. The BC did a mailshot around the local rags about Finn last year and Abi was most helpful in this way.
Lets not get too anal about the bikes though (seeing as what Ade was riding at Crewe!), we don't want to alienate people, we want as many bums on seats as possible remember. It's only a bit of fun........isn't it?.....or will the lure of filthy lucre bring out the worst in people... (hopefully!)

So a bit of elbow bashing from Sandro and Al, throw in a Dubber crash or two. It should make the cover!!

I think Sandro's getting the hang of " Dubber crashes " himself ,

He's a natural, and 2 crashes at Crewe , he's really upped his game

Sod " Gate practise "

" Crash practice " is is the new black , this season daaaarliings

Abi does Fastlane.

Her Crewe pics were given to Fastlane and then she puts up the ones fastlane doesn't use.

So we can use Abi for fastlane if she's willing.

And use another photographer for BMXWorld.

If the race is for cash then they have to adhere to the rules 1" Headset and threaded Forks and Caliper mounted brakes. No canti's.

Thats a fair rule.

I have 2 spare bikes that are OS legal and there is no cut off for a date on bikes. All BMX's after 95 had canti's and 1 1/8 headsets. And most changed around 93.

If we need to we could have spare bikes doing a lap and then transferring to a bikeless rider waiting on the hill.

With 3 or maybe four gates, you could have 4 riders and 1 bike!!

I also want the History of Old School Racing in the UK. So if RATTY and co can give me all the details of the first races and the story behind them then I can include that to give some back story upto to where it is now and why were doing the Grands.

Right I'm off to Sheffield!!

See you Wednesday if I'm not in jail!!!

PS. Get practicing your crashes over the Pro Section tonight Dubs!!!

It's carrot on stick time! As promised, here's just some of the trophies for the Old School Grands. That kid in the middle is 6ft tall!

Hate to parp on about this, but it has been pointed out to me that it is SILVER MEMBERSHIP that is required from the 1st May, not a SILVER LICENCE, as I previously stated. This is a requirement for all classes, except Novices, and not just Old School. So you're not being picked on!
A list of all those who have applied online, but have not yet recieved their licence, will be brought on the day by the Registration Staff to avoid disappointment for all those that have left it a bit late.

Wow, since getting signed up for silver membership, my membership page has been updated with my position at Crewe last Sunday!

Impressive!

He was talking about easy money and where it's going to be spent!!!!

I've had a word with Our Illustrious Leader (Ian Brookes), and we've got a spare gazebo at the club that you can use. Another one might come in handy if anyones got one. We managed to house three families, Bof and Egan under a £39 B+Q jobby at every national last year, so if someone can route one out of their shed that'd be grand.

R Al · « **Reply #63 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:01 PM »

Got one if needed

Is it really NOS or has it been 'lightly' built up

Redline has been out again guys.

been told i need a bc membership though.

??

dan-dare · « **Reply #68 on:** April 26, 2009, 11:27 PM »

BC membership my box. Just say you know Ian (Moley), that'll do it.

proclass35 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:17 AM »

Everyone now needs a BC silver membership to get a race, it's the law from 1st May!, and it's for every class except novices. I've been told this by one or two people in the North Region because they don't want people travelling for miles and being dissapointed. Just knowing Moley used to mean something, in fact just standing within his aura used to give life a purpose.......
but apparently it now counts for jack-sh*t. The BC has reduced him to a shadow of his former self, a hollow shell, a number.

After my superb 'C' Final win at Crewe, I'm glad the BCF have decided to stop these people hanging off my coat tails.

Get a Silver BCF Membership you stingy fooks!!!

numbers will drop now youve got to pay 36 + quid to race.

prob go down the trails instead.

not arsed about the prize money.was going to do a few anyway.

Dex Dexter · « **Reply #73 on:** April 27, 2009, 09:15 PM »

Don't let the BCF membership thing put you off.

You'll need it for any race from now and once you've done one race - you will defo do more and more.

I know it's an expense but divi it up across a few races then divide it again by the number of belly laughs you'll have - it'll end up pennies
