Is Dex having some early Sat Morning practice?
Ben have you checked all the nuts and bolts on that bike yet? to make sure nothings come loose.
I might pop down to Ulverston to see that skatepark and those jumps the local yoofs have done!!Where is it located?
You could do with some practice too...............after your attempted 360 over the double at Preston!!!
Don't get me wrong, I would have loved the result, but I can't complain gettting into the B final Moving on................does seem abit daft not having a line judge

As the riders cross the line the four people record their opinion of the result independently and then cross-check to see if there is any difference of opinion. My job as finish judge was not to stand on the line, but look down the last straight to see if anyone directly impedes another rider ( you've got to hold your line on the last straight).Three of the line judges were long standing North Region committee members, and have been doing this job for donkeys. I'm not saying anybody is infallible, or mistakes aren't made, but if you have a disagreement with the judges, then you should put an appeal in on the day. I know results aren't published til later, but if you are unsure where you came, you should go back and ask the line judges- a lot of people do. Up until last year, even Nationals were recorded visually, so I wouldn't expect a camera on the line at Regionals for some time!ooooOOOOHH! Get me!
Quite right Jamie, although JD_76 should have been DQ'd for telling me to stop because I had a cute fluffy bunny rabbit caught in my rear wheel. By time I realised he was lying he had passed me down the final straight. I dont mind a bit of craic while racing but to use such underhand tactics to gain an advantage is surely outside of the rules!!
That was it JD! Get out of my head JD............your like the BMX version of Derren Brown!!!
