David Bailey indeed! :4_17_5:

Great pics, top day. I had a really good time.
Cool to meet a few more radbmx members, all top men, for sure!
-
Awesome pics! I heard Alex blasted on his birthday!
:daumenhoch:
-
He kept the burfday quiet, otherwise he would have been cable tied, nekkid to the ambulance >:D
-
I didnt try to keep it quiet. I was pleased that I got to use #36 on my plate cos thats how old I was yesterday!
The last time I went racing on my birthday was on my 12th in Bath. It rained all day and my blue burner goggles didnt help me see through the mud at all! (I was at the back, in every race!).
-
;D, well you have improved a bit since then :daumenhoch: You should give 30/40 class a go, your quick enough to give em a run for their money
-
sweet pics men,you've all got your snap going on.
priv
-
gutted i never got there :(
-
Cool pics , hope you guys all enjoyed yourself :daumenhoch:
Great support for the MK club & a warm up for August where it'll be war for sure on the track ;)
-
It sure was a good warm up for August. I was only going to come for maybe one of the days in August but I have already started asking my wife if she can book the weekend off work so I can come for it all, maybe race a few of the classes.
btw, thanks for no one minding that I was riding an out and out 'mid school' bike. 21" top tube ... "U" brake (it did have a 1" shafted forks/stem). I did feel my bike was a little young, next the all the older bikes on the gate.
-
:2funny: :2funny: Thanks for a great days racing guys. Shame only 5 of us stayed to race the final. I know it dragged on a bit, I got home at 11:30, but well worth it. Bring on Hersden!!! :2gunsfiring_v1:
-
11:30!!! Holy carp! Im glad I didnt stay cos I only just managed to make something of the evening.
I had such a good time, one more race couldnt have made it any better.
-

Maybe it was when I realised we have over 2000 members and only 10 showed up to race :rant:
:) DINGO :)
I'd be pissed of too if i only had one leg!
-
There actually was a guy there yesterday with one leg, did any one else see him? He had a fake leg from below the knee and a fake foot with a normal shoe on. I think he was racing, but I didnt see him riding.
-
Yep, I saw him, He does race, not sure if he did yesterday though, gotta hold yer hat off to him :daumenhoch:
-
that chap was a nice guy and he does a bit of racing so i maybe should have had a roll round :-[
-
There is a skater guy who has a fake leg like that and he rules. Kick flips over big gaps using the fake foot and everything!
Some people just dont let things stop them (and I include you in that Dan! You were cycling all around the place yesterday!)
-
Apparently just before I joined Mountain beach as a mtb guide there was a guest with one leg who did every ride and out rode a lot of people and in the US there is a one legged kid who rides clipped in with one foot and a bungy from his hip to the pedal on the other, makes you feel VERY humble stuff like that
:) DINGO :)
-
Great pictures guys - good to see so many old school dudes hanging out.
You should do a bunny hop comp at your next meet?
-
you was ripping yesterday lee and you can start the hop comp . ;)
-
oh thanks ratty for the pic of me (second pic) picking myself off the deck after crashing out of the 40+ cruiser final. last corner and chasing down hard on tony slaters back wheel. almost had a second place there ya know :'(
defo a pic of my best side my left side is all beaten up and now need a new race top. thank god for body armour
-
Hope your ok mate, was a bloody good race, I spared you the picture of you crawling out of the dust >:D, was good to see tony after so long, 1983 was the last time, he recognized me instantly, bit embarrassing really as I had to ask who he was :-[
-
Ratty will speak to you about you gates perhaps you could give me some hints and tips :4_17_5: look at him go he had a wheel on everyone !!! what happened next ???? perhaps you were running a too low gearing ? snap the power out the gate but could not hold it to the finish !!
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/i236/citypets/holeshot.jpg)
-
That is such a cool pic. Apart from is showing that Ratty can get out of the gate faster than anyone else, you can also see his redline, the Hutch and also the PK Ripper decals in the far gate. No chainless show only bikes there, even tho they were all worthy of it.
-
Good to meet more of you chaps yesterday. Looking forward to Hersden, hope the week at work doesn't drag.
Dingo you look like a proper warrior in that gear. Bloody scary.
Alex I almost pissed myself with excitement in one moto when I couldn't spot you so thought you'd crashed but then you landed again from about 20ft up in the friggin air.
From the look of that gate pic I need to work on the snap a bit.
-
i have sunburn on my shoulders and it wasnt even that warm or sunny just nice ???
-

The fellow bhind has lost it in his eyes !!!! he knowes he cant beat him nice renthals btw :LolLolLolLol:
-
I have to wear goggles because of my contact lenses but they are a cool phsych out tool :2gunsfiring_v1:
:) DINGO :)
-
I spent a day at Daggers last week practicing gates and have got them together a bit, still nothing like the elite boys, they rock!!
If any of you want to go to a gate practice, hook up with your nearest club, well worth the effort! It takes a while to loose the fear of hitting the gate!
Thanks for the comments guys, I just need to get fit, then lets see if the dvd men can catch me :2funny:
Oh Dingo, I think this ones better!!!

I thought I had better post a pic of me from the front because there was only Alex who got to see it out on the track :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:
:) DINGO :)
-
Great day fella's,agree with Russ about those gates Ratty,holeshot virtually everytime,did piss myself laughing in one race,you'd built up a pretty healthy lead until the triples on the back staright where you went all over the place,went down to 3rd by the next berm,then down to 4th(last) by the last berm,was funny watching mate....sorry :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
Great racing though.........loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!
Top bikes,top blokes....until the next time!!!!!
Stu
-
I got home at 11:30, but well worth it.
Not surprising. I went into the services after Dave had been and there was no food left!! >:D Humps
-
The big guy has got a great gate,Tony you could have mentioned Mr Slater
had to get past me for the win, my own fault for a schoolboy error of
easing off just before the finish line and looking over the wrong shoulder
wont happen again.
-
Sorry Kev, It was such a close race, if Wolfy hadnt have dropped, you 3 would have been neck and neck across the finish, and remember tony was a pro racer bitd

"this time then guys,

-
Were there lights at MK? If there were, I didnt see them.
I just waited till I saw the gate start to drop ... and Ratty flying out of it, and then started!
-
wow, and you still whopped our arses ;D mind you had a lucky escape in the first moto, sandwiched between me and Dingo, anyone fatter than you would have been flat by now >:D

Yeah that was funny,
cant wait to see NMKY's videoa of us all :idiot2:
:) DINGO :)
-
Too right! You two got infront of me and then just closed the gap. Im sure your handlebars touched over my front wheel. And it was just as we hit the first jump! I really thought that you two were showing the "new boy" what was what, and taking me out! My first race in years and I just thought to myself "Oh! ... so THIS is BMX racing!"
Cant wait to see the Video too.

Can I just point out that the back wheel leaving the pic on the left hand side whilst Alex and Ratty are fookin about is mine :2gunsfiring_v1:
:) DINGO :)
-
That pic is way cool. You can see the fear in my eyes!!!!
I did have a roll about the day before and Im glad I did. I went there about 3 weeks ago and I jumped some of the doubles. On Saturday it took me the full hour I was there to be able to jump anything!
