Post by: kamodo on November 08, 2006, 08:11 PM: Oh Darren your a very brave man, I went to my local track last friday night and watched a floodlit club meeting, the 20" was SO QUICK, I gonna be a coward and get a dirt bike sometime to ride the local concrete parks and maybe do some crits on my road bike next season....but no cruiser or 20".

Good luck mate and I hope you got BUPA health cover :LolLolLolLol:

How did the training course go Dave?

No Old School goodies yet Zippy :(

Post by: Flying_fox on November 13, 2006, 06:31 PM: The bat was flying out of the gate yesterday at Hayes, a few more races on his 20" and he'll be right up at the sharp end (or slightly less blunt end). :daumenhoch:

Here he is right up with me and Jumping John. Picture from www.bournemouthbmx.co.uk gallery.

Post by: Mr Rusty on November 13, 2006, 09:36 PM: so what were the results then ??
Title: Re: Watch out 30+
Post by: biglav on November 14, 2006, 06:09 PM: well done Darren
the guy done a good job at hayes seeing that he hadnt even ridden his new bike before race day.
he mixed with some of the best and held his head high without havin raced or any training since the Hersden meeting. i think a few more outings and some training and he will be surprising a lot of riders by the time the summer series starts

:4_17_5: keep it up
Title: Re: Watch out 30+
Post by: jazzyje on November 14, 2006, 07:36 PM: thats all well and good si but how long will his tyres last when mrs bat finds out how much it was. ;D
