As some of you know, me an 796 bought a sidehack frame recently, we finished building it this week and we wanted to take it Braintree today but the wusses cancelled the meet :tickedoff:
Not to be beaten by the weather we decided to make a long overdue trip to the home of badbmx at daggers.
That track is so smooth, great jumps and in direct line with the wind off the North sea :shocked:
Roonga popped down to see us, nice meeting you paul. He managed to witness us fold a mag wheel in half while sliding the hack out, his face was a pic :2funny:
Heres some pics an vids, yes most of em are solo, we never had a camera man
First pic after 796 decided to bale out

We used to break plastic wheels and shatter Z rims coming down Rancho's/Corona's first turn until we got wise to stick to motomags or spoked rims
Nice Hack!!!
-

Hey that me and the 26" as pilot on the pic with the three hacks going into the turn on the Wasp 11 hack!!

-

Yeah like you stayed on long enough to find out, Every time I got near the side of the jump 796 bailed out...
We couldnt stop laughing all day, I couldnt get it to turn right, tone lent backwards instead of forwards and we ended up bailing out, just a complete giggle, some one has gotta sort another one out so we can race em....An I think Reilly1 should come over on holiday and give us some lessons :daumenhoch:

When the photographer from the French "Cream"magazine (BMX mag i think) was here last year for one of the gatherings, he asked me to tell him what sidehacks were all about.
I told him "Let me show you!" and told him to hop on the hack and speed down the road and kicked the hack into a three wheel drift. He was pretty much screaming with laughter and terror as the hack kept on sliding until the side wheel shattered into 20 pieces.
He felt bad cause he thought he caused it. I assured him he didn't and added that "THIS is what hacks are all about" :)
Sorry to hijack your thread, but I'm all too familiar with all the fun involved with hacks...
-
thats looks like damm hard work but fun!!!!
the side hack is looking good boys you've done a good job,

I need clips to stop tony from bailing out!!!!! I think I might just have to cable tie his hands to the hack >:D
If anyone fancies a go, we will try and take it to Braintree in Feb, or daggers on a sunday

I'd love a go!!!! Will any kids be brave enough to co-pilot the fox?? ;D
Not sure if I'll be able to make it to Braintree in Feb because of the small matter of the missus having a baby then, but let me know when your next thinking of going to Daggers, it would be well worth a spin rounnd the M25 for a go on that beauty!
-
let me know
i,ll be ya co pilot
be an honour to fly with the fox :daumenhoch:
-

EML Jumbo
1,000cc 2 stroke twin :shocked:
no fuggin chance i told him :idiot2:
-
is there a pic or video you have of that motorbike sidehack in action we could see please looks well fun :)
-
i'll ask him if he has any video of it ;)
he has 2 of these out of apparently less than 10 running examples in the whole world :shocked:
that one in the pic was the bike ridden to the World Championship by a geezer called Hansi Bachtold back in the 80's
he also has an 800cc version that i've actually seen ridden by ex World Champ Hansi Bachtold at the ken Hall Trophy meeting held every August Bank Holiday weekend at Langrish in Hants!
its the one & only time i've ever seen an outfit stand up on the back wheel!
everytime he came past race control he had it up in the air, chair wheel too!
as its a 2 stroke you can imagine the sound too! when i saw it he had the 2 into 1 expansion chamber on there which is slightly less powerful but sounds amazing :daumenhoch:
i'll ask Nid for more pics & info
i think he may be selling both of them as he's moving onto sidecar speedway & is underway building an R1 engined outfit at the mo! he's going speedway as too many years of MX has given him a bad back! well ever since the 2nd time he broke it anyway :idiot2:
-
cool thanks :4_17_5:
-
1000cc Two Stroke twin...wow
That thing is the best. Would almost trade any of my bikes just to monkey that thing once...
-
sorry for the thread Hijack Tony, i'll ask my bud to send me more details & pics of the Jumbo & i'll start a new topic for anyone interested :angel:
i'll see if he's got any pics of the R1 engined one he's building for speedway :daumenhoch:
-
hey, thats no hijack, it makes great reading, im still waiting for the vids!! :daumenhoch:
-
Did you guys see this one go on ebay the other day?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AVRI&viewitem=&item=170055335130&rd=1&rd=1
Wanted it bad but the first time it was listed some joker bid it up to £360 and never paid, looks like £155 is what it went for in the end! I should have bought it ::)
