My collar bone and shoulder injurys are healed enough for me to ride the Brits, the bad news is that I`ve strained my back today at Dagenham and it`s very sore

Highs and lows, injuries suck . See you at the weekend Billy and hopefully see you on the gate.

I helped Bill crash test his injuries at 4X today by doing a jump and landing on his back wheel causing us both to fall off, then he crash tested them himself in the 3rd moto (I had to sit out the 3rd 4 th motos as I also crashed in moto 2 and couldn't grip my bars). We'll be the walking wounded at Cheddar.

Our old mucker Spillers got a right result though. Good moto finishes, no crashes, and 2nd in the A-final. 2 4X races and 2 podiums

I`m in real pain with the back now, thank fook I`m booked in to see the osteopath tomorrow

I can't lift my right foot more than 4 inches off the ground as I've pulled the inside of my right thigh.

Might have to ask the Mrs to massage it. Even better would be to get someone else's Mrs to massage it

It was good to see Billy and Mike still walking around with smiles on their faces after some heavy crashes at the 4X. Nothing like a crash test to see if everything's fixed properly.

Like spillers I didn't crash, just raced my nuts off, and I'm aching like hell today. Maybe 70psi was a bit much on that bumpy track, or maybe I'm too used to carpet smoothe BMX tracks.....

dialledbikes · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:29 AM »

Despite the crashes, I'm looking forward to doing some more 4X. I enjoyed the racing and there was good banter between the other Vets (apart from that cheating tw@t who kept riding around the first jump!) and it was also good to hang out with the Sheffield chapter of the Dialled Bikes brotherhood.

I heard you did good on the Team Wickham Yeti , good result bud

Wickham Yeti was in full effect and riding like a beauty! (Now the chain stays on

)

Just found these pitures here: http://www.descent-world.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1157&Itemid=95

Billy landing on someone during his pre-brits crash tests!

Some ginger nob doing a block pass to take the lead in a moto.

billstup · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:40 PM »

My back is completly fooked today, I can`t even stand for more than 30secs so it looks like no Brits for me this year

And that twat that is knocking me off in that pic came across from the inside line especially to do that

dialledbikes · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:55 PM »

I'm also 50/50 for the Brits, Bill.

My hand swelled up overnight and I can't grip anything with it at the moment. The inside of my right thigh is also badly bruised and it's painful to walk.

But, I had a cracking day yesterday and if it's cost me a chance to race at the Brits, so be it. Gotta live for the moment, not always with one eye on the future. It would've been nice to race at the Brits, but we all know I'm not gonna get any further than the Quarters, so all I've lost is 4 laps of a track I've already won two trophies on this season.

I should still be there on Sunday to cheer everyone else on.

i think i might've made the right choice to sit that one out to allow some healing of my hand!!!

Looks like a rough day.

It was my plan to ride elite at porc and chicksands but as Mike says planning ahead when you race 4x and bmx is not something you can rely on!!!!

billstup · « **Reply #20 on:** September 14, 2009, 08:59 PM »

Keith if I can`t make it can you take Jade for me, she has decided that she wouldn`t mind going with you, having said that it`s only early and lots could change as the week progreses

kdubbmx · « **Reply #21 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:17 PM »

Course mate no prob at all.

Would've been good to have had you there yesterday Keith as we could've had semis instead of killing ouselves trying to get top 2 in every moto

Do you know the guy who kept cutting the track every time he was in gate 1 (Jason Brennan)? Paddy says he has a bit of rep for bending the rules/cheating.

I'm now sat here designing myself a 24" wheeled Holeshot for next season. I'm not ready to race on 26'ers yet!

kdubbmx · « **Reply #23 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:42 PM »

Sorry Mike

yes i know the gun, but only from DH not seen him do 4X before.

i'm prob gonna give elite a go next year so i that setup sounds like it'll work for me too!!!

When the brits is out the way i can meet you at Wisley (often) for some R+D testing etc see what we can come up with.

Yep I told Keith earlier about him and he`s not very well liked by anybody it seems
