Title: Chertsey Track Pics
Post by: slurp on April 14, 2007, 11:07 PM: Went to the chertsey track for a blast round.Its in pretty good nick considering the other old tracks ive seen posted on RAD.Last set of doubles on the first straight has trail bike damage and a few others to but you can still get round.

Post by: stuntmaster on April 16, 2007, 05:24 PM: i went there ages ago and yep good for a ride around as every jump is still concrete , i think the more people that ride it the more the track space spreads out as mostly weeds that make it look small , i used to like the first jump years ago and the tabletop but it tiny now

Post by: dirtyvans on April 16, 2007, 10:04 PM: heres the only one i could find from the National there in August 1988, the first corner, i'm sure i've got some more!

I'm on the inside (South Central blue plate 4), 14 years age group, with JT body armour and Blue Bones T-shirt!, i think the rider on the outside with yellow tyres was Dean Lycett from the midlands, cant remember the rider with the red plate - was a good track :)
