Post by: AJWD on September 27, 2006, 08:28 PM: Yes, and the rest of the abuse. Don't smoke now, but I've certainly done my bit - I was absolutely fooked! Punctured the tyre too as I'm a little too heavy for 1.5 rims!!!

Post by: AJWD on September 28, 2006, 08:24 AM: And with my best Dogtown Vans on fellas, with a load of pikeys parked next to the track! Jumped a few times too, but my mate was to busy (with his fat arse on a very nice chrome MRD) taking pics of me gasping for breath.........here's another just for his benefit!

Post by: gregster on September 28, 2006, 01:05 PM: nice work mate.

What's the track like? Is it teh one by the race course? I've just moved down to Hove and was looking for somewhere nearby to ride.

I heard it was full of pikeys and was a bit dodgy to visit.

cheers,
greg

Post by: AJWD on September 28, 2006, 01:09 PM: Yes there was a bit of water, but not too much. Pikeys? Gave them a book with pictures of lurcher's in it which kept them happy! Darren, if our house renovation costs keep spiralling like they do I'm going to be selling both of them!!

Cheers,
Adey.

Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on September 28, 2006, 03:32 PM: Nice shots m8... Nice to hear that that MRD is being put to good use ;)
Vomiting usually makes me feel a lot better after a good fast lap or 3 ;D
