was that the one where the track was only just finished and the jumps were soggy? 

it had a cyclo cross next to it, and the cyclo cross riders tried to race the bmxers and they all fell off on the first jump 

IT wasnt as good as the nbmxa Derby british champs

I remember your final at Tamworth Tony, Andrew Brettle crashing in the last corner, i think Andy Pallemarts won if i remember after escaping the carnage. Didn't you have your motorbike crash just after this meet???
