Thanx for the pics Dan, cant wait to see the rest :daumenhoch:
It was a quality day of racing despite the rain :wtf:
Some excellent racing from all ages and some quality take outs eh 796 :LolLolLolLol:
Big thanks to Les Slater for being Starter for the day :daumenhoch:, full of great old school stories, it was a pleasure to meet you :-*
Thanks to everyone who helped out and everyone who braved the rain to race or spectate :4_17_5:
I never had the pleasure of meeting Dave but I'm sure Dave wold have been proud to see such a great turn out in his memory :daumenhoch:
-
who me :angel:
-
Tony, you should change your nickname to Extremepervert!!
-
Yes you Tony, when you really hurt someone with your riding then perhaps you`ll stop riding like a complete cnut , but probably not because you couldn`t care less about any one else anyway :(
-
Sorry Tony, but I have to agree with Bill on this one. I was standing on top of the berm when you took Bill out. It didnt look like an accidental coming together from my view point, more tactical.

Lee, tony 796 is the reason that I won`t ride in the old school class, because someone is going to get hurt with the way that he rides, I don`t think it`s big or funny to deliberatly take someone out on a race track, if you can`t race fairly then don`t race at all :rant:
-
I made (or at least tried) to make a fair few moves on that berm today. I hope no one thinks I was riding like a complete cnut.

it was not intentional, you went high and i went low, you caught my back wheel then come off, its all in the game, don't let me stop you from racing the old skool series, the more the merrier, how about when people take me out, its all in the game, i am out to just have fun like every body else after all thats what its all about.
-
Was a great race today, Im sure Dave would have been so proud. The racing was to say the least interesting!!!
I would like to say about the dirty side of it today!!! I came together with 4 riders today, one of whom was tony, but also with Sam (the nicest bloke on the track) This is BMX racing is close to a contact sport, part of the skill is keeping on your bike and out of trouble, |I choose to go over the berm rather than collide with Tony, probably the same as Bill. The trick is to keep well away.
Bill, its never a good feeling when you get taken out, but dont stop racing because of it, just get better and make sure your in front. Im impressed with how well you are doing and Im sure it wont take you long to be in front.
796, your a bloody good mate, and a skillfull rider, just try an avoid the take downs before someone does get hospitalised :daumenhoch:

Tony don`t insult mine and other peoples intelligence, just take another look at the picture above, you`re not even looking at the track, you`re looking at where I am so you can take me out, and from what other members at Daggers have said it`s your favourite corner for doing it, and your reputation hardly disproves this :(
You also tried to cut me up in the second moto Tony, firstly you tried to ease me off the outside of the first straight, then when I braked and went on the inside you cut across me again, because it was a moto and there were only 4 of us in it I just held back because I knew you`d try and take me out at any chance you got :(
And I won`t be giving up racing, I`ll just try and not race in the same class as you :rant:
-
:'( I still haven't received the cheque for the lessons Tony, I hope it hasn't got lost in the post!!!
-
Funny thing is someone messaged me todat that they'd been taken out by Tony today.
I think sometimes we target Extremepervert by mistake for his riding.
-
when you took me out at hersden and laughed about it thats ok its part of the game, but when the boot is on the other foot (not intentionaly) thats playing dirty, some poeple come off, some don't, thats racing for you,
-

now who am i supposed have took off?

Wasn't this a memorial race...? Stop crying you babies...... :'(
-

i'm not crying, just saying as it is, at the end of the day its about having fun as well as racing
-
The difference is Tony that at Hersden I never tried to take you out, I got on the inside of you and you decided to lean on me instead of just racing to the line, so I lent back and you came of worse, but thats racing , what you do is to take other riders out on purpose with no regards to what you`re doing.
Just look at this pic and tell me again that it wasn`t intentional. And when I crossed the line your first words were` thats 1-1 ` :idiot2:
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c69/hooga75/billytakeout.jpg)
What if the next rider you take out breaks his collar bone and can`t work for six weeks, are you going to pay his wages for him ?
-

Appologies there they said you cut them up out the gate, not taken out.
-
in that pic, both my hands and feet are on my bike, and i am looking at the floor to try not to bump into you, as i went past you came down and hit my back wheel, now how is that intentional?
as for me saying its 1-1 that was a joke.
-
Wow, missed the fireworks as well!! At least you guys got to ride today. I had the dubious pleasure of trekking round The Glades @ Bromley with the missus instead. From the rider numbers it looks like you had a great turnout. Well done to everyone at BADBMX for pulling it off in the face of Brixton's re-opener and the Milton Keynes EA Winter Series opposition and to still attract an entry count over 100 is quite amazing. When will the OSWS results be up Ratty?? Humps
-
Tony you`re looking at where I am so you can ease me off the track, the only reason you never was because I braked, unfortunatly you still caught my front wheel which knocked me off, now fcuk off keep saying it was accidental because everyone that saw it knows it wasn`t , and make sure you don`t come anywhere near me on a track again or we will be having a major fallout :rant:

is that a threat? you have your opinion and i have mine, the only way to sort this out is if anybody recorded it of has a picture from a another angle.
-
No it`s a promise Tony.
-
who me :angel:
I'm not replying to this as a shit stir but i've been on the recieving end of some of your stupid moves tone and its not good mate ??? i've spoken to you a few times about you carving and forcing me off the track and i to cannot race against you when you insist on behaving like that...i like to think that i know how to race in a comp i've been doing it most of my life be it car racing and motorcycle racing,i don't think you understand the ethics of racing, and racing hard but in a fair way ;)
-
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
:wtf: you two twats, your both making far too much out of this........

Just name a time and place and I`ll be there.
-
As for you mr wong............only kidding :D at least when you carved me up you are sportsman enough and gentleman enough to ride back and see if i'm ok and then let me finish the race in front of you :daumenhoch:
-

El Stupple the Ramp King
Vs
796 The Berm Warrior
In the OSWS Lightweight battle of the year [/size] :LolLolLolLol:
I'll get me coat now cos i'm just stirring :-[
-
i admit i do take people out sometimes but it is not intentional, and i am not the only one, its the line i take as it slows you down taking the top of the berm so i prefer to stay in the middle when i can, i do not set out to hurt people, and i would not want to hurt anyone on the track as its all about having fun and not about winning or losing. i have been took out myself a few times and do not get on my high horse about it as its all in the game.
-
Tone mate i'm afraid you are talking B*LL*X :) your the only person i know, who when racing looks behind to see who's there then proceeds to change direction to force people off :) its as simple as that ;) you've got goods friends tone through racing so wise up :coolsmiley: :-*
-

Yes mate, I felt bad at making you come off. I honestly didn't realise you'd caught up with me down that straight so when I moved across the jump I was surprised to to feel your bars in my side resulting in you falling off. I stopped to see if you were OK and let you finish in front of me cos I don't want to win like that (some people afterwards were telling me I'm far too nice on the track, not just over that incident, but also other times when I'd got myself in positions to overtake, but held back cos I didn't want to make anyone crash (or crash myself either)).
At the end of the day, this is a second chance for all of us oldies to relive our youths, and although I want to do my best out there, we've got nothing to prove other than we still know how to have a good time (and maybe still possess a few skills) on our BMX bikes.
Spillers, it was excellent racing against you and Darren Vickers today (I think we all finished in front of each other at some point) and if we push each other and have some good tussles next season in 40+ like we did today, we'll have plenty to smile about. Top lads and good sports.
-
Cheers mike :daumenhoch: me and darren are well hooked on riding cruisers,just need more practice and fittness and next summer will be a cracker :daumenhoch:
-
You were missed today Humps .... I had nobody to talk to at the back. ;D
I couldnt believe that 6 weeks with no racing and my legs had gone by the end of the second straight, i must ride more.

was'nt really looking forward to going today what with the wind and the rain.but i'd arranged to take a few lads and lend some gear so off we went.well the race was really good and a great day was had by the hersden crew.my new dxr wheels were mint and a change in my gearing seems to have done me the world of good as well.racing pete lavender all day was a lot of fun with loads of banter.jumping past me with a "here i come!!" was pretty funny.he said he let me win so he could save his energy for 17+.i just think he fluffed his gate and thought twice about it.haha.
track rode really well in the wet.hope the lad who hurt himself gets better quick.always horrible to see the paramedics carting someone off.really good chilled out meeting and credit to all involved at bad.justin.
-
I am not stirring at all and I hope you lot sort out the niggles but can I just state for the record that every time I've ever bumped, elbowed, wiggled a leg towards or fallen off in front of anyone it's coz I am too unfit and crap on a bike these days to be able to pedal in a straight line. :-\
-
Steve, we all get out of shape and bump bars and sometimes even cause crashes (sorry Darren) but on the whole we are all aware of the consequences of deliberate take outs. Im sure the people concerned (theres more than 1) will address their riding and show consideration to other riders, otherwise they will be feeling very lonely on 1 man gates
-
Great pics,Had a great day again...very steep learning curve me thinks..thanks Ratty and all for organising a Top day :daumenhoch:
-
I reckon any grievances from a previous meeting should be sorted out at the next meeting.
1-on-1, one lap no crap, then it gets consigned to history. Let's keep it clean and friendly (but still competitive) cos it's not like we're racing for world titles.
That second to last berm at Dagenham is ideal for making moves. I tried to make moves in every race there yesterday. Sometimes they paid off, sometimes they didn't. But it was fun going for them.
I think these 2 pics of me and Quad Paul show that moves can be made there cleanly.

I think I went from 4th to second with this swoop.

great comparison mike, i lost a position with pauls move, not to paul but vinoah managed to take us both on the inside while we were tussling :daumenhoch:
-
Although the piccie of me and mike was after we'd clashed :P
-
So is Braintree on for this coming Sunday then? Sorry if this is in another thread and I'm being too lazy to look.. :angel:
-
Not started a post yet but yes it is on. Im working on the points right now from round 2 :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers mike :daumenhoch: me and darren are well hooked on riding cruisers,just need more practice and fittness and next summer will be a cracker :daumenhoch:
manythanks to mike /spillers.. had great fun racing you guy's thanks for all the comments from both of you. C U you on the gate soon. RESPECT. :daumenhoch:
-
Had a great time back in the saddle from a good few months out of racing.
My legs still feel like jelly. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Got one thing to say on this whole sorry story
WHEN THE GATE DROPS THE BULL***t stops
