Title: Scottish OS Summer Series - Dates Finalised
Post by: kennyhunter6061 on March 30, 2008, 09:36 PM
Ok guys, I've managed to come up with the following dates for our Summer Series.  8 rounds, with the top 5 finishes to count towards the final placings.  I will try to visit some other tracks such as Bathgate, Cumbernauld and any others that might offer a change of scenery, and will report back on their condition.  Only problem with visiting other tracks would be a lack of start gate  :(  So for the time being at least, assume that all rounds will be at Clydebank.

Round 1 - 27th April
Round 2 - 11th May
Round 3 - 1st June
Round 4 - 8th June
Round 5 - 6th July
Round 6 - 13th July
Round 7 - 10th August (if there are any survivors from MK!)
Round 8 - 17th August

All those who took part in the Winter Series can ride with their final ranking plates, any other entrants can bring their own plates along, or use one of our fantastic limited edition genuine oldschool paper plates and black marker pen  :D.  This is to try and cut down on plates getting printed up which might not get used, which bumped costs up for the last series.  But don't despair - "Summer Series '08" Final Ranking plates will be awarded at the end of the series to all those who took part.  Trophies will also be awarded to everyone who takes part in at least 3 rounds.  Registering for the series will be £5 this time round, with £5 entry fee per round.

jtsmooth is gonna try and make it up for our first round - our first foreign exchange rider!  ;D  :daumenhoch:  Kenny S was down at Dagenham track yesterday and said it looked really good.  His brother lives nearby so that's another trip we need to plan!

Good stuff Kenny, I'll have to check the dates but i will hopefully be able to make more than 3!!!

Title: Re: Scottish OS Summer Series - Dates Finalised
Post by: Stevo on April 21, 2008, 11:46 PM
Yeah good work Kenny getting this organised again. It will be good to see new riders on the gate.

Hopefully weeks of doing Spinning class down the gym will pay dividends. Gotta improve my jumping and technical skills though before I can beat Kenny, etc on a regular basis.

Thanks to moley for posting the results on his OS racing site.

See y'all Sunday.

Congrats to all the riders today another great days racing. For those that didn't come you missed out, sun and everything.

Thanks for sorting me out with the stem and plate number dude.

Thanks again to the Kenny's for their organisation.

Stevo again for the lift, hope you arm and thumb are ok mate.

And finally sympathy to Paulo for beating you today. :LolLolLolLol: I'm telling you have a curry the night before and leave out the wine. All the training advice I can give you.

Thanks Marc for posting the placings.  I would have done it earlier but as soon as I got home the family decided we had to go to the fair which is town  :(  Just sitting down to something to eat now.  Am I knackered? Oh yeah!  Cheers for coming up John, hope you had a good time.  You're welcome back anytime if you can magic up weather like it was today.  I can honestly say that was the best weather in 3 years of going to that track.  Roll on Preston, looks like even more of us could be coming down, along with some youngsters for the newschool classes.

I need jtsmooth's name unless he's wanted by the police, mob or CSA and then he can remain a mystery!!!   :LolLolLolLol:

If the above names, positions and plate numbers are correct then I'll have the results up in 10 minutes!!!

Post by: moley on April 27, 2008, 09:42 PM
Did anyone take any pictures or videos of the races.

I've been thinking of doing a link for each round to page with all the pictures and videos in it.

Similar to the links for the riders.

 :-[ :-[ :-[  I had my camcorder and camera with me today.  Despite this I managed to take fook all pics and the same number of vidz!  :-[ :-[ :-[  Too busy organising everything and riding to remember about filming it.  And with cracking weather, and even better racing as well!! Bugger.  Sorry guys, won't happen again.  Anyway, for Moley's benefit, here's the placings for each of the 3 motos:

Moto1: kennyhunter6061, jtsmooth, stevo, paulo, kuwahero
Moto2: kennyhunter6061, jtsmooth, kuwahero, stevo, paulo
Moto3: kennyhunter6061, jtsmooth, stevo, kuwahero, paulo

Aye, it was great day at the track today.

Good to see everyone and a few new faces.

Props to JTSmooth making the trip up with his family.

I will never race wearing a t-shirt again. Today was the first time I did so, and I crash landed.  :(

Long sleeves from now on – no matter the weather.

Should have taken my camera today, but forgot as I was in a bit of a rush to get there today.

I will remember to take some at the next meet.

Bring on Preston…

Kenny, Stevo and myself are running the plates we got for final positions in the WS. Above details are corrrect. JTSmooth is John Tattersine, I think.

We decided to leave pics until Preston so you can take then like the rest as we were having too much fun today.  :coolsmiley:

It will show up when I next upload all the details which wont be until the next race at Preston when I update the photo's.

Hopefully someone who isn't racing at Preston will videotape the races.

They can use my camera if needed.

I want to start putting video footage up on the site as well!  :daumenhoch:

Yes a cracking day yesterday. Stevo how's you're arm and hand? It looked bad enough from the start gate. I would have been gutted if you couldn't have raced.  ;)

Good meeting you John. Like the you tube clip. Hey Kenny we should have a PA. I could be MC for the race as I get the best view of the action from the back of the field.

There was some good racing yesterday all down the field on a fast track and it was great Kenny to see the weans racing. You and Kenny are doing a fab job with the club. Well done.

Shame I can't make Preston but take the MC some Buckfast I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Take loads of pics for us.

I'm bringing my camera to Preston to take some Pictures for the OS Website.

If we can find someone who isn't racing to take some pictures and videos with my camera then it should be good.

I'm a little disappointed that we haven't got video footage of all the OS motos and Finals for Both Bradford and Coppull.

I wanted to put the footage on my site.

Try and get some footage of your next race and photos too.

And if someone wants to write a few comments down then I can turn the whole lot into a link on my website.

Scottish Region
 Clydebank
 Round 2

Comments ...............................

Moto 1 Video Clip .........................

Moto 2 Video Clip .........................

Moto 3 Video Clip .........................

etc, etc.

If you click 'Round 2' on the the results table then it could take you to this webpage.

Think about it lads.

I'm going to try and do it for Preston if I can find a willing cameraman to do all the donkey work!!!  :daumenhoch:

I am up for it, but I hear Kenny has cracked his thumb on the Preston thread. Maybe we should postpone it until he is fully recovered.

But knowing him he want to race regardless.

See you there if its still on.
Title: Re: Scottish OS Summer Series - Dates Finalised
Post by: kennyhunter6061 on May 07, 2008, 11:37 PM
Don't worry guys, it'll still be on, whether I'm racing or not.  If I'm still crocked, Kenny S can borrow the 'goose to get himself some points on the board until he gets the Haro built up.  I can hold my grips no problem but it might be a bit sore over the jumps, so I'll wait and see what it's like on Sunday.

Post by: kuwahero on May 11, 2008, 06:39 PM
Poor turnout today, but that didn't effect some close tussles. Kenny Hunter missed out due to his cracked thumb so Kenny S took his goose, and the honours. Well done mate :4_17_5:

Moto1. Kenny S, Stevo, Kuwahero
Moto2. Kenny S, Stevo, Kuwahero
Moto3. Kenny S, Kuwahero, Stevo

Final. Kenny S, Stevo, Kuwahero

I decided to take Ratty's advice today and didn't race.  I had a go after the racing was done and the thumb felt fine.. after all, it's stuck in the perfect position to hold the grip!  ;D  Mind you, if I had raced, sod's law I would have come a cropper again and really messed it up.  Oh well, I'll just need to make the points up at another round.

Nice day racing today, props to Kenny S for winning each race with injuries and on another rider's bike.  :daumenhoch:

Had a good look at Liam Greenwood's pics of your crash, its a miracle you didn't injure more than your thumb after that pile up.

No vidz Moley but I did get some pics, which are up on the other Scottish thread.  I was busy calling out the riders up on the start hill and working the gate, otherwise I had intended to video the action.  More helpers required!! Stevo, I love those pics of my crash, he must have had a premonition to get into position and snap the carnage.  Every time I look at them I pee myself laughing. (and thank my luck stars it was only a sore thumb!)

Kevin, sorry the dates don't suit mate, I know that everyone who has taken part so far is genuinly into it and would be at all of them if they could.  Don't worry though, we've got another 5 trips down south this year, so hopefully you'll be able to blag a weekend pass for some of them:  Hartlepool regional/OS race on 15th June,  Hartlepool National on 29th June, MK08 on 2nd/3rd August, Coppull National on 13th/14th September, Preston National on 11th October  :daumenhoch:

Moley, I wouldn't blame Andrew for not making the trek south from Wick.  He's into freestyle so maybe he'll check out the Edinburgh oldschool skatepark nights.  I'll need to get across there when i get my Dialled MX20 built up.  Just looking for some cromo forks, don't fancy riding the park with Bombshells!!

Post by: kevin rettie on May 11, 2008, 11:06 PM
Sounds cool Kenny, your trip south last weekend sounded like it was a blast so it would be good to be able to make a trip or 2... shame about the thumb though, bloody sore i bust mine playing rugby a few years ago.

I'll try and sort out my diary and give Mrs R plenty of notice and keep you posted.

Good days racing again chaps.  One day I'll get an old skool bike but not this year.  My boiler broke so I need to divert all available funds to that - 3k I've been quoted!!!!!!!!! :(

Do you know how many bikes that is..... :-\

Anyhow, was good having the groups combined - made it pretty interesting.  Need to get it together on the last berm though - lost out every time...

Kenny, I'll upload the photos again as soon as I can.

Again we raced the new school kids to make up the gate and again we all finished in front of them. Even with my heroics

I should have been 3rd. If only I hadn't tried to do a superman seatgrab over the triples on the third straight, in the second race. Giving myself another couple of Adam's Apples :LolLolLolLol:

Hello Kevin, yes racing is on on Sun 13.

We all meet at the track between 12 and 1, and the racing starts once everyone is warmed up, registered, etc.

Hope the weather is decent, since we had to cancel last weekend.

Hope you can make it.

Cheers

Hi Moley,

Unfortunately the meet got cancelled due to the weather. Although Kenny had texted me the night before, I never looked at my phone and turned up like a numpty. I rode the track three times on the off chance that there's a loop hole in the rules and I get the meeting win and 50 points! ;D

Looking forward to tomorrow.

I'll be there tomorrow guys, Marc has sorted me out with a headset so I can put the old hog together again.

See you all there.

I think we have a casual meet on the August Bank Holiday in Manchester to go crusing around the town centre and do some posing.

Rearrange the 6/7/08 meet for sometime in September and I'll pop up for the meet.

Some of the other North Region lads might want to pop up too.

JT Smooth might be up for it!!!  :daumenhoch:

Our club usually runs a big Open race each September, either the first or second week.  It would be good if some of the North oldschoolers could make it up for a final end of season oldschool bash, with customery piss-up in Glasgow the night before.  Anyone else fancy a trip up to sunny Clydebank?

The track is only about 5 miles from Glasgow city centre so there's plenty to choose from.  Can't think of any in particular at the moment  :-\

Great day yesterday guys. The full gate including two NS was brill. A bit hairy in the first berm...lol. Lots of close racing. Manualled for the first time...by accident. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!

Well done Kevin and Kenny S for getting your builds up and running. Thanks as always to Kenny H for sorting the meet.

Thanks Marc (Kuwahero) for brining along the gear for my latest build.

Can't wait for next week.

Yes it was a grand day out yesterday. We spent a good 5 hours at the track. Here's a few pics of the OS gate. Moley you can add the last pics of Kenny S and Kevin Rettie to your site if you like. I will ask Kevin to complete a questionnaire thing.

Stewart (nearest rider) gave everyone a head start since he's an ex-pro and that…

This pic is from a video footage that the photographer shot instead of taking a pic. The video only lasts a few secs so it not worth posting. Line-up looks good though.

Kenny S on with his recent Haro build. After all the effort building it he doesn't like it.  :(

Kevin Rettie, great racer. It would be good if he raced with us more often. This is his DB Leary Turbo that he kept since his 80s racing days.  :coolsmiley:

Kenny S and Kevin Rettie's details are up on the website.

I will do a rankings table (best 5 out of 8 rounds table) after the next round.

Try and get their details for their bikes etc, etc at the next race and PM them to me along with the results.

I'll update everything at the same time!!! :daumenhoch:

Fantastic day yesterday lads. Thanks Kennys for getting it sorted and thanks Marc for the headset and for helping fit it.

Moley, I'll pm you my bike spec and stuff later in the week.

Shame I can't make the next few races but hope to get a few more in before the end of the season.

Enjoy MK guys.

Kevin

Ranking table is now up after a little mistake!!!  :-[

I did put best 5 instead of best 6!!  :-[

The Best 6 out of 8 Rounds is the way the North Region BMX run their rankings!!!

Its a running total so it could change dramatically from round to round!!!

It's bright and sunny here in Glasgow for the first time since May lol.

A little windy, but thats down the Chinese last night. Looking forward to today. Great pics btw Stevo.

Results from today are:

1.  kennyhunter6061 50pts
2.  Kenny Scullion 47pts
3.  Stevo 45pts
4.  Kuwahero 44pts
5.  Paulo 43pts

Thankfully 2x Scottish champ Ali Stewart, who came along to watch, didn't take part as his Falcon Aero isn't ready yet.  Despite never having been on a BMX since 1985 he was looking super quick and beating me into the first corner on my old GT Speed Series.  Can't wait to see what he can do on his oldschool bike with a wee bit of practice.  >:D  As long as Ali isn't working or competing in a motorcycle trials competition he'll hopefully be coming along with us to some of the North Oldschool Regionals.  You have been warned!  ;)

A big thanks to all the guys I met yesterday at Clydebank and in particular Kenny Hunter for the transport and the work he has put into restoring my old bike and to Kenny Scullion for the use of his superb GT.

Watching the races,(my first in 25 years or so)  I was quite surprised by the pace and competitiveness of all the riders, certainly nothing like the "dads"races we had bitd.  Everyone tried really hard and no one ever gave up. Well done to everyone that took part. I hope more old school people get involved as the work you lads have put in to get things running deserves it.

Well done to all and hope to see you on the gate soon

Allister Stewart

The new and verfy much improved Titans BMX Club website is now 'live'.  Still some areas to be added to, but massive thanks to Stevo for creating what I think is one of the best looking BMX Club websites out there.   :4_17_5:  Go check it out...

Cheers Kenny, I enjoyed doing the new site. Lets hope it benefits the club (new members, funding, etc).

Bumped into Kevin Rettie on Friday, says he will try to make it for Sun 10 Aug. I see light rain is forecast, so we should be ok.

Cheers

Another great day yesterday for the final round in the Scottish OSSS.

Congratulations to Marc (Kuwahero) who won his first race yesterday in one of the toughest line ups of the year. Well done matey....git!

Also congratulations to Kenny Hunter for winning the Series...again, but it was close.

Looking forward to the Open day on 14th September. Hope loads of people can make it up.

Well done to Kenny H for winning the series and for Marc (Kuwahero) winning a moto on his birthday. Here he is with an old Kuwie top:

It was a good day to end the series, looking forward to the 14 Sept.  :daumenhoch:

Do you Scots have a Winter Series or is that it until the next Summer Series?  ???
Title: Re: Scottish OS Summer Series - Dates Finalised
Post by: Stevo on August 20, 2008, 09:54 AM
Moley, I think Kenny H will confirm what we are doing for winter. But some of us fancy going down south and taking part in your series, especially at the new Manchester track and other tracks.

Came across a web gallery of pics of the Clydebank track on the opening day (2005?). It looks like California with the clear blue skies. The surface looks mint, pity the wind and rain has eroded it over the years.

Excellent!!

Its only once a month for 8 months so isn't too strenuous like the summer series.

Coppull at the end of this month and Preston at the end of next month.

Check out the Winter Series thread for dates!

I hope I see you at Coppull!! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Scottish OS Summer Series - Dates Finalised
Post by: Stevo on August 20, 2008, 03:24 PM
Some of us will manage a few of those dates, not them all. Probably from October onwards.

It depends what we agree on doing in the winter. Probably have a better idea when we meet on 14 Sept.

The Manchester meet is in Jan 09, so that will give us plenty time to save petrol money, etc. :) Hopefully, make a trip down south before Xmas though. Cheers.

Good weekend guys, gutted I couldn't race but I got loads of photos.

I posted discs of the photos out to Paulo, Steve, Marc and Kenny H this morning so hopefully you'll get them tomorrow.

Looking forward to the 14th - just hope it's good weather..........

Oh aye - the photo of Marc up there - what's he hiding up his jumper?..... ;)
