Nice pics Matt and good to meet you properly this weekend. I should've asked for a go on Dingo's bike. I love a Ripper but think my 20" days are well behind me.

So, where's the place to be this weekend? Is there any racing?

great weekend, easily the best since coming back - was excellent doing two classes but couldnt really get on with the OS due to one of the most OS unfriendly tracks ive ever ridden. big ups to those that made the OS final - made up for Spillers getting third.

brilliant times had by all - didnt even see moley he must have been hidden in his secret video lab!!! great to catch up with all the Northerners again, sandro, haro82, kuwahero, hunterdubber etc - 4 hours drive home - think the scots are probably still on the road!!

cant wait for next year - lets hope whatever track gets the nod has facilities to match broadway house.

I'm getting an OS cruiser for next year as it will make swapping between cruiser and OS 20" less of a struggle. Didn't realise I could've ridden cruiser in OS until I saw a couple in the semis.

agree mike, the guy on the freeagent limo cruiser (sorry didnt know his name other than he was a northerner) has raced it all year. gotta be more stable - but not much...

I actually felt that doing both classes was a help in a strange way as it kept your legs pretty warm rather than waiting 100 odd motos between.

I Built up Pauls Dialled cruiser this afternoon, looking really nice as suspected

That was Mark Huddart on the FA cruiser. Earlier on in the season he was riding a Falcon Pro cruiser. Like spaghetti on wheels. LOL

I'm with you guys on the leg thing. I spent about 4 hours stretching yesterday.

Cheers Russ, well proud and really pleased she won the big one. She's been getting faster all year.

Just been to the hospital as my arm's been really sore after my off in the final. I've only gone and broken it.

Gutted.

Healing Vibes Andy.... couldnt see your accident as we were standing on the first corner - what happened? you didnt look too chuffed.. its gutting to make it all that way to the final only to have it taken away so quickly. You should have rode Cruiser!

Bad news Andy.

That'll be why you dropped your beer when you were talking to me! Very rare for a Northerner is that.

Hope it heals soon.

Haro82 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:11 PM »

Be out for 6 weeks they reckon but got to go back tomorrow to see a proper doctor.

Just came out of the gate a bit sideways ,banged bars with Mark Huddard , lost my pedals I think(he's bigger that me) then hit that first roller (wouldn't really call it a roller though

) and went arse over tit. Didn't half hurt. Yeh Crooch think I should have raced cruiser I'd have been down the bottom cheering my daughter on to the British title !

I was more worried about getting home with the caravan and all the gear, that was painful

Dex, I remember that now. It takes a broken arm to drop beer

dialledbikes · « **Reply #40 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:15 PM »

That first roller is shit. It should either be a double, or get rid of it completely and make the first double a great big one to launch off.

thecrooch · « **Reply #41 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:28 PM »

yeah agree Mike, ive never known a roller launch you so much!!!

trouble fo rme was that you come out of the gate head down pumping your heart out and suddenly you have to pull up for the roller - was too near the start for my liking...

presume it was that one that Claire came a cropper as well - again couldnt see from where we were standing.

but guess when you dont have a club that rides the track all year must be hard to get things changed.

hope you heal quickly Andy - what year was your daughter in?

Fookin 'ell Andy. It didn't look good. You went right over the bars on that speedbump (WTF). It reminds me of that BradFord Speedbump that launched me over the handlebars before they lopped 1ft off it. Most of the kids were launching and landing right in the middle of the gap before the next jump and everyone I talked to didn't like it.

Here's the footage :-

I hope Cotty is ok!!

Great footage Moley. The crash doesn't even look that cool , I go over it no footed , looks like I should have hurt my knackers if anything.

Now hurry up and get my daughters final uploaded

To be honest Andy..............it does look comical but extremely dangerous!!

Sitting down on the speedbump was huge mistake!!

Shame you got injured though. How long till your racing again?

Too many things going on at the point of hitting that roller: as you say, charging out trying to get a holeshot, coming across if you're in an outside gate, trying not to get shut down/squeezed, pulling up over the roller. That's why Gates 3 -5 are best at Cheddar cos as long as you get out quick you can go in a straight line and worry about berm position just before the triple.

Claire wouldn't have slammed so bad if that roller wasn't there. Julie coming across didn't help (dunno why the fastest person would pick gate 1 and then come across) but she didn't touch Claire.
