Title: Best Â£3 ever spent ?
Post by: Gashead on April 19, 2007, 08:33 PM: Ok so the Mrs was working late tonight and I was home early so jumped in the van towards Burnham race track and had a wobble :D :D :D

Appart from MK last year my ass hasn't been around a track in 20 years and did I have a laugh even if I was billy no mates and 'an old geezer on an old school ' fook me it was great ,

Even when I did a couple of gate runs with an eight year old girl beatin me to the first jump !

My back wheel even got air off the table top - Couple of inches I think :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

Great track and good to see some dust on the bike - hope to get Stidds out next week

Post by: Flying_fox on April 19, 2007, 09:47 PM: Burnham rules, it has to have one of the best first straights around, you hit that first berm at mac 3 when you get it right. :4_17_5:

I wish I lived down that way so I could go ride it for 3 quid. Then get some proper cider nice and cheep on the way home.

The British champs are there this August bank hols, I really hope I'm fit to race by then, that track brings out devil in me. >:D

A little video of me the last time I raced there, http://www.bmx-race.co.uk/bikevideos/Round1/13_Burnham_Masters_B_Final.wmv (http://www.bmx-race.co.uk/bikevideos/Round1/13_Burnham_Masters_B_Final.wmv) :angel: Note no peak on my lid from where I'd smashed it off the day before at Cheddar. :D
