Ripping it up in 40+ cruiser. Ended up 2nd (I think) but saw him winning races and beating the established guys.

Post by: Geth on May 22, 2006, 06:41 PM: You did well fella. Ady is no slouch and really gives his all.
He made the World Champ final in Paris last year if I remember right.

I'm sure with a bit of practice you'll be back on it! That last straight is awkward as hell at Wales. If the racing was in the dry it would have caused a lot more problems as everyone would have it hit even faster. The skills will come the more you ride. :daumenhoch:

See you at the next national then?

Post by: muttley on May 23, 2006, 08:32 AM: How cool is it to have a 40+ group in BMX racing, noticed some manuals there too in that footage, something for the offspring to brag about at school :coolsmiley:
