Post by: kdw712 on June 29, 2006, 10:28 PM: how is the thumb / wrist doing chris ?
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: Mr Rusty on June 29, 2006, 10:39 PM: Broken scaphoid (bone near the thumb) so in a cast until July 26th at least. The position that the thumb's set in makes it impossible to hold the handlebars so I can't even just ride around to keep fit.

Similar problems with driving - couldn't hold the wheel - so I've just bought one of those buttons that they have on lorry steering wheels and this helps.

Apart from that usual stuff - itchy, sweaty, can't do up buttons, laces or zips etc.

I hear Russ Parsons broke his wrist at Dagenham. If you're reading this Russ good luck mate - know how you feel !!!
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: Zippy on June 29, 2006, 11:41 PM: I was on the start hill waiting to race and saw Russ slam hard on the final rythum section.

It seems the Hersden lot are dropping like flies at the moment.

Post by: jazzyje on June 30, 2006, 07:50 AM: talking to a few of the lads at daggers last night and it seems we may have a well attended race.only euro race at chedder to clash and obviously not many of our lot going to that.prembo's coming,hope to see paul and Aaron,james goodwin and Ken and Matt pryor so could be a busy day with some top riders in all classes.medals for all classes plus rider of the day.
got to say i was well impressed with the club race at daggers last night.nearly all of the racers were locals and it shows that the club are doing all the right things at grass roots level.plenty of help from mums and dads i did'nt know from the bmx scene so obviously doing well in getting everyone involved.top night.

Post by: aaronsat on June 30, 2006, 04:43 PM: Gonna be there for sure... Enjoyed it so much last time - Especially winning the final (the D final that is and there was only 1 other rider in it (but he was very good I have you know!))

Haven’t had a chance to do any riding since but will hopefully get round to putting a slightly smaller gearing on the bike as think this may help.

Just to say that if there are any of you out there that are still not convinced about coming down and racing…. DO IT… It’s a cracking day and you will not be disappointed.

One quick question…. Did I get points from round 2? :)
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: Humps00 on June 30, 2006, 08:19 PM: No-one's mentioned the footie final being on that day!! But that won't stop me and the boys coming down (other things might though). Just to whet the appetite of those up for some fun, here's a pic from the last King of Dirt
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v731/Humps00/JamesHersdenKOD.jpg)

and "Yes" he's actually clipped in - there's ALWAYS one isn't there!! Only this one has to be one of mine!! Anyone know how to persuade an almost-teenager that you can't no-footer when clipped in?? Humps

Post by: kamodo on July 03, 2006, 06:05 PM: Looking forward to making this race, hey Muttley ....just come off my antibiotics....get well soon mate ;)

Gonna bring some bits and pieces to sell (cant be doing with evil bay)

Got nothing to ride......yet (Supergoose is being done)...so willing to help if needed Justin ?
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: Humps00 on July 03, 2006, 10:29 PM: REckon it's about time we brought the pit-bikes back to Hersden as they're ideally suited to the little track. So, who's up for a race in the interval?? Matt & James will be riding their Haro's and I believe Pete Lavender is game for my Mongoose Pit-Crew so we need at least one more but if we can make a couple of gates we'll go for a final too. All just for fun and for the record my James will NOT be clipped in to his 'pit' as he might use it for any KoD contest too. Humps

Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: Zippy on July 04, 2006, 08:04 PM: Unfortunateley not mate. Going to thin down the BMX collection ready for my new arrival.

I've got an XL Pro Robinson coming from the states and I don't know wether to just swap it for the red Robinson frame or just sell it as soon as I get it.

I'm also selling the Haro Pro XL I've got as well but more about that later.

Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: kdw712 on July 09, 2006, 11:25 PM: looks like another hersden cracker there

what happened to zippy then ?
hope you're ok zippy
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: muttley on July 10, 2006, 08:00 AM: Zippy had a nasty one. He was proper gunning it though, cleared the first set of doubles with massive air, then the second set no problem but had some issues with the 3rd set and went down quite hard, took a bump to the canesten and couldnt remember that he had started a new job :shocked: Didnt want to go to hospital and just went home, i backed his car out for him and he seemed OK to me but if i had known he was having memory issues i think i might have made him stay a bit longer. Looks like he sprained his wrist too :(. I take it no-one has heard from him at all then???

Special big ups to the Hersden crew for another fine event though it was a great day :daumenhoch:

Cant wait for the next one.
Title: Re: Hersden round 3 July 9
Post by: TK The Mic on July 10, 2006, 08:41 AM: Terry from the club phoned Simon during the interval and he got home ok, but he said that he would be going to the hospital so they could have a look.
Hopefully we will hear from him on these pages in a day or two. Get well soon Zippy.
50 riders took part, which isn't bad but we were getting more last year.
Round 4 takes place on August 13.
Justin and I would like to thank all those who helped out yesterday to make the meeting run smoothly. Namely Julie and Mrs Bennet on the line, Prembo with the pics (awesome) and Humps for helping out various riders.
