Bob Field Grands OS Riders List at Crewe - 2nd August 2009

[JD_76]

I wont leave you on your own!!

If no-one else shows up then I'll attempt to give ya a good ass whupping!!   

Cheers mate    

[moley]

Dex will have to do some filming while I'm racing!!

If there are only us 2 then we'll be stuck in with some kiddies who probably kick our arses!! 

[Dex Dexter]

Yep - I'll happily film.

Of you could bring more bikes and I'll ride too ?!?

I'm toying with the idea of doing two classes as it is - Cruiser and Masters but I'm not sure my legs can take it.

[moley]

But who will film?

If you want to race OS then I'll bring a bike and you can race JD!!!

Then he wont be lonely!!

I might be stuck up on a container filming so I'm not too bothered about racing!!

LMK and I'll bring one for saturday and you can take it with you on saturday night so that I dont have the hassle of taking it into the hotel and repacking the car in the morning!! 

[Dex Dexter]

Nah - only joking.

I could have been encouraged to make it the numbers in a full gate but not just for a couple of people.

I'll be tired enough as it is.  Last call for everyone else though!!!

P.s. - have you seen the grands elite rider list 

This will be an AMAZING spectator event.

There is even a story going round that Dylan Clayton has built a bike up 

[JD_76]

Should be a great event for sure, looks like its just me and you then Moley. 

Me and my lad have recently joined the Wrexham BMX club (Wrexham Rebels) and the pro who teaches the class is Martin (OGGY) Ogden, was saying he will be there racing in the elite class - he also wants to give my bike a good thrashing round the track, poor bike wont know whats hit it.

You can film JD and me having a good ole tussle!!

Get yourself down on Saturday JD and enjoy the High Jump and possibly some attempts at the triple on the 3rd straight!!   

PS. Is your lad signed up.   There are novice races on Saturday?

[JD_76]

Cant make the Sat mate, that would require a two day pass, its hard enough getting a one day. 

Matthew isnt quite ready to race yet, next year he will hopefully be up for it and he will be 11 then. He's a shy lad so he has to feel comfortable before he will attempt anything, the BMX club should give him more confidence.

Im also on a reasearch trip to see what bikes the lads use in the 11/12 class, will need to invest for next year. £££

P.S. Thats some rider list, holy shit. 

[moley]

You should do the Grands too!! 

At least you can say you lined up against some of the big boys!!

Moley mate you will be a big enough challenge never mind the pro's or fast 17+ year olds.   

Just ahd a look at the weather on metcheck.com and so far its not looking too bad.

[Dex Dexter]

Last call for tomorrow.

It's all gone off goodstyle today and despite the weather it was top drawer.

Novice racing went down a treat with trophies all round.

No clips race was mint.  Can't tell you who won as I was too busy coming last.

Ash Davey took £42 for the pump race win and after a MASSIVE hi jump contest over the Crewe pro Ash Davey again took the £100 prize from C&K.com.  12 foot I reckon.

Loads of top riders are already there with more to come tomorrow.

See you then....

Bonza.

be there watchin in the morning 

[JD_76]

Had a great day even if I did get beat by a 12 year old 

It was good to meet you both Moley and Dexter, thanks for the banter and helping me to understand what was going on.

Crewe track is very scary and the level of tallent on the day was amazing, the Bob Grands Final was just mind blowing with Calum Strickland making an early charge to 2nd place to be overtaken on the last berm to put him in third place, the winner Marcus Bloomfield was just a display of sheer talent.

Class picture.

If Jai was there sorry I didn't meet you.

JD and Moley - need to get a picture of your trophy up - that's one nice pot.

Rider numbers were too low  but elite was as good as it gets.  Bloomy and Phillips were dying as they crossed the line - that's how hard they tried.

Good to see Dylan back racing - he was mixing it with the young guns.

I loved Masters but got well and truly trounced.  More practice needed 

[JD_76]

Here you go bud, the pots with Moley giving it large.

Was good to meet you Jai as well. 

[moley]

I think those 12 year olds (maybe even younger) were smacked off their heads on Relentless!!

I might have beaten them but I was scared of falling on them and killing them if I had a major wobble!!

The Crewe track was harder than the regional.   I think the jumps were more lippy.  Either that or my hangover was affecting me!!

I had wobbles on every moto!! 

Scary track for OS but a great laff!!

Glad you enjoyed yourself JD.  All other tracks in the North Region pale in comparison to Crewe.   Hartlepool is very rideable for OS.

The whole weekend was great!!

I'll get footage up in the next 2 days when I have sorted it all out!!
