Title: a 35 foot high start gate !!
Post by: kdw712 on September 28, 2005, 01:09 AM
wombling around tonight found these race videos

what caught my attention was the 35 foot high start gate ! it looks like they are riding off Beachy head !  :D :o

recent UCI Supercross race in San Jose - quite large files but well worth a watch if you can get them.

I've watched a fair bit of supercross on EX, it's in a world of it's own Kev.

So true, imagine your first go on that beast. Hell yeh, I can't wait to see the racing on that track.
I doubt an old school bike would survive that track.
