Sport Hurts...
Jon The Bassist:
I was going a bit too slow and manualled the medium-large double after the step up/step down on the 2nd straight at Bradford.
I had to do a really big manual to get across and ended up bailing to the left but I landed on my front wheel and most of the spokes on one side of the wheel sheared the nips :bondage:
I'd been doing it easily at speed but not easy when going a lot slower.

Ouch! See this is the yin to the yang of me researching getting into track riding. I get myself all daydreamy and excited, thinking yeah I reckon I could give it a go. The thought of pain and damage to me and any new bike I buy puts me off a bit.
Everything I read tells me not to push hard or reach beyond yourself at first. I'd be a natural at that approach ha ha! But then someone could go down heavy in front of you anyway and take you out. So selfish ;)
Glad everyone apart from the forks were ok...
DoubleD:
Damn :shocked: racing is so much fun to do, But when we crash we are falling a lot harder then 20 years ago

Keith - don't let this sort of thing put you off at all. I've generally been making steady progress with the riding, I've got SO much fitter, lost weight and gained loads of new skills that I didn't have even when I raced as a kid. I LOVE it :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

It really wasn't a bad crash at all last night - I just bailed to the left but my bike went to the left as well and I landed on it ::)
