All pee taking aside, you are right Mark, I have just finished a very stressfull 2 year stint in charge of a certain organisation, I now feel that without that stress I can give it a go....I will do it discreetely, just in case I have a relapse, last time I gave up I hated all the naggers and I think starting again was a two fingers to the naggers :tickedoff:

Harworth's a mint track, I love the first straight and the last staright rhythem is a corker too. The only straight I strugle with is the 3rd, I've never been good at jumping up hill.

Rotherham's a good little track as well, I like the second straight, but I've not ridden it much.

not been to Hexthope, I had mixed reviews of that place so I'll look forward to seeing your video of it. :daumenhoch:

i didn't get any footage of hexthorpe my batterys went,but i did go honest :police:

hexthorpe is in a bit of a mess only the 3rd and 4th straights are ridable,the two bowls are ace though,1 kid was in there for a good hour,we got told he's sponsored by WTP.

i've heard bad things about rotherham,but it's a good track, i don't know what the record time was for going round but me and ben  got around it in 38/39 secs,i imagine the record must be about 28/29,i was sucking air in through my ass. :shocked:

i loved harworth,the first three doubles are HUGE,it'll take a couple more trips out before i clear them but they are deffo do-able,and there is a min skatepark at the side of that aswell.

Nice vid Priv.
Used to take my lad up to Rotherham regularly on a Sunday in the Summer. Great little track but always found it a bit difficult to jump some of the doubles as there is not enough straight inbetween the jumps for an old schooler like me  :-[

harworth is a great track but it looks so different from when the brits were held there. looks really small and so deserted.
the first jump on the first straight im sure it did not seem that close to the start gate when i was there back in 06. great vid guys
