Mikku:
Have posted these elsewhere but here they are again, with the short version of the story that goes with them:-
The nearest race tracks to me were Poole and Bournemouth. Poole had the infamous Dollies, so I decided that Bournemouth would be the safer bet for my race debut. I was wrong! First time there, first time racing, hadn't practised, didn’t know the track, didn't know what I was doing - it was a recipe for disaster! So I lined up for the first moto and my first ever gate. Couldn’t do a 2-pedal start, so made do with a one-footed effort. The gate dropped and I made it to the first jump with riders either side of me. Not sure what happened next but it was my first experience of jumping side-by-side with others and it was all too much for this newbie, as I crashed to the ground in an embarrassing tangle of chromoly and limbs. Picked myself up, ignoring the trickle of blood down my forearm and did the slow, lonely ride of shame to the finish line. A slipping freewheel put paid to further action, and/or bloodshed and embarrassment, so I headed home early with my tail between my legs and my mind full of “ifs and buts”. I didn’t go back! :yahoo_silent:
Clint, I'll send you the longer version! :daumenhoch:

Just a quick one, digging out Harrow skatepark peanut (the one with ruffells is an amateur) got a FOOKIN shovel in the head

Took out some vital brain functions by the looks of it.
