Post by: Humps00 on November 07, 2006, 08:40 PM: If you're short of riders to make the gate I'll bring my HAWK along and ride so we know who'll be last. I reckon it qualifies with 1" headset and U brake. And I'm "Old" if not "Old Skool". Humps
Title: Re: braintree 3rd dec
Post by: RATTY on November 08, 2006, 09:54 AM: That would be great, the brake dont qualify so you will have to ride with no brakes :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Humps00 on November 15, 2006, 04:42 PM: I'm hoping we can add Buckmore Bat, Wolfy, Mr Rusty and even XtremePervert to the line-up but may have to work a little magic on these oldies first. Any chance Darren will accompany OldManKev?? And if the weather looks good maybe even Flying Fox can be enticed into Essex. We shall see. Humps :2funny:
Title: Re: braintree 3rd dec
Post by: RATTY on November 15, 2006, 04:47 PM: Nooooooooooo, not the fox, I was enjoying nearly having a chance, with the fox on the gate thats me down in 8th :'(

:LolLolLolLol:

It reckon Flying Fox could ride from his home to Braintree quicker than we can get round the track.

It would be no competition for him at all.

Nice to see him whip the youngsters though. ;)
Title: Re: braintree 3rd dec
Post by: Flaz on November 15, 2006, 06:07 PM: no!!! the fox can race

but he has to do 2 laps, that way we have a chance

well as long as i aint on me hamsters wheel again (sorry tone)

Title: Re: braintree 3rd dec
Post by: Flying_fox on November 15, 2006, 07:32 PM: Don't let me near old school bikes, i tend to break them. I might do a sensible lap on a borrowed one (if anyone would be so kind), but the bb keeps poping out of my quadangle so I cant use that, and it needs a break lever.

If I come over I'll bring the fox cub, he can do 7's and I can scare the youths in 16+. That Bradley Watts don't stand a chance if he races BMX the way god intended on flats, not those disco slippers. :2gunsfiring_v1:
Title: Re: braintree 3rd dec
Post by: RATTY on November 15, 2006, 07:39 PM: LMAO @ Disco slippers,

If it's set up for a 10 year old it'll fit stu just fine.. :LolLolLolLol:

I don't spose anyone has a stem for sale do they?

If not never mind - I have my eye on a Torker stem at the mo.

I'll be bringing Vinoah along.
