Title: I am looking for people with working Sidehacks willing to race at Bob Fields
Post by: Dex Dexter on June 24, 2010, 07:28 AM: Hello hello,

You may be aware that Crewe BMX is running a 2 day BMX event in August (21st and 22nd) to celebrate the work that Bob Field did for UK BMX racing.

Saturday is fun day, Sunday is race day - with big big prize money.

What with Crewe being an OS friendly down hill track I want to run some sidehack races on the Saturday :D :D :D

But I have no sidehacks.

So...

If anyone has one, and is preperred to travel to Crewe to race them / let others race them please post in the thread.

I think it would be cracking to see 3 or 4 lining up on the gate for some carnage!!

I'll sort you out with free camping and that if you can make it!!

Thanks.

Dex

My dad has a tig welder.

Do you have plans someone could work to?

In fact - if anyone is interested in knocking some up - I'd be interested to hear prices.

If anyone can get buy of a few of these, get them to the UK on the cheap, avoid import tax and sell 'em on they could make a few quid I think!
