Just had a message from the Vice Chairman of the Bournemouth BMX Club asking if i can help them out.
On the 2nd June they have a Southern regional down there and they want to hold an Old school show and shine event on the same day. They would like as many old schoolers and as many old school bikes as they can. Now i know it maybe a little short notice and the Vice chairman is also aware but i said i'd post this up on RAD to try and help them out. From what i can gather there are prizes and such like also........( i think )
So if you think you can make it then please let this thread know and i'll pass on all the info to Andy as i can.
We did one a year or two back down there and it was a great event with the likes of Tim March and Sarah-Jane Nicholls turning up to name but a few. John Johns with his World championship winning Hutch cruiser also came down.
Hopefully i can find out more pretty soon.

Hey Andy, sounds like a good day out. Count me in :daumenhoch:
-
Me too :) nice to have somthing bit more local :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers guys, i'm waiting to hear back more. I doubt it'll be today though but i'll update the thread when i know more.
-
Cool, Yeah im up for this :daumenhoch:
-
me to :daumenhoch:
-
get an old school gate on,,,yay
-
I'm In and will bring the current motomag build if I can sort the seat clamp out.... ::)
-
Sounds a plan. I should be up for this too :daumenhoch: G.
-
Sounds good to me, I'm up for it :daumenhoch:
How many bikes is it per person, 1 or 2 ??
Count me in for now and I will try and organise it with work as I am working that day :yahoo_silent:
-
Bring as many bikes as you can fit in your car/van. I don't think there are any restrictions.
-
I may be able to come too and bring the nova. Would my son's anni aero be welcome? Won't have the other two done by then though :(
-
Ok, had the word that this a 100% defo on. There are no times as of yet but you'll need to be on site earlyish to sort everything out.
B'mouth club will be sorting us a pitch out near some selling stalls to show the bikes. You will need your own stands as the club will not supply these. I don't think there are prizes as such but there will be some stuff like Muc-off that will be handed out.
They're also asking if any riders will be happy to do a parade lap after the Moto's. Personally i wouldn't parade a show bike myself but i do have a rider. Room in car pending that is.
I may be able to come too and bring the nova. Would my son's anni aero be welcome? Won't have the other two done by then though :(
All bikes welcome i suppose, anyhow your son my want to ride the track on it (helmet needed) so it wouldn't hurt to bring it. :)
-
IM FREE :-*
-
After Paris bump...... :angel:
I'll update this as i find out some more later.
-
not sure if i will make it as i don't think i can get a van :(
-
Can you not just get a few in your car Phil ???? You'd need a HGV1 for all your bikes.
-
Who's up for this , meant to be a good weekend too weather wise :)
Might be able to squeeze three bikes in car , lookin forward to this for weeks :daumenhoch:
-
I am off Tues and Weds next week and need to swap to rest Sunday and work Tuesday but, there is no work for me on the Tuesday at the moment :yahoo_silent:
Still hoping though :daumenhoch:
-
This is defo still on so anyone localish to the South then come on down :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
Get down for about 10am+, i'll get there for that time to sort everything out. The actual racing starts at 12.30 and as it's a regional it should be real good. :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:
Fingers crossed for the weather .
-
I might be able to come along but not 100% sure yet.
The last time I went to Bournemouth with a BMX was in the early 80's !
Just to make sure the track is the one listed on the Bournemouth club website at Iford Lane isn't it ?
Not sure about doing a parade lap, think I will pop to the toilet when that happens !

Yep as Andy says I'm coming to renew my BMX enthusiasm which has been a bit lacking the last month or so.
Will be good to see Martin and Phil again and meet some new faces plus watch some good racing.
I'll be bringing my Extra Burner so am expecting a bit of banter, don't let me down lads :LolLolLolLol:
-
Cant knock a burner , even if it is a raleigh :LolLolLolLol:

Great pics, looked a top day out :daumenhoch:
Any os racing?
-
Nah, all new school (I don't think there is any old school race series in the South)
-
wow - great turn out :daumenhoch:
did you get much interest in them from those there to race?
-
Cool pics, glad it went well :4_17_5:
-
Looks like it was a great day :daumenhoch:
-
A bit annoyed I had to miss this in the end as it looked a great event. Not knowing much about what was going to be there I couldn't persuade the rest of the family, next time hopefully.
My bikes would have needed a bit more of a polish up to be in with any chance against what else was there at least I can look at the pictures.

My Bro-in-Law was racing and said it got a fantastic response from everyone
He said he thought the coolest thing was the VW Van with the "Patterson" sign writing :coolsmiley:
-
Fookin grass needs cutting!!!!! :LolLolLolLol:

I think some gay tosser on here owns that although i believe it's a Vauxhall rather than a VW though.
Great day though and loads of interest from other riders, some even asking to have a go :LolLolLolLol:
