Post by: xtremepervert on January 26, 2009, 04:31 PM: In pic 6 that's Alex Hennessey between you and Gary L.

Pic 4 brings back memories. That's Matt Hughes and Mark Musson behind you at Herne Bay. I was in this moto too. In the 2nd moto Kevin Miller got the hump with me and accused me of knocking him off ( as if!!! :daumenhoch: ) I tried to blame Matt Hughes, but Miller realised differently :LolLolLolLol: I got 4th in the final in the end.

Post by: mr.magoo on January 26, 2009, 05:10 PM: no no , high seats are to sit in tight 180 berms, give better grip to rear wheel and gives the sling shot effect it you sit and stand at the right time, kinda pumping the berms....hence why i had seat high when i re-started.

Awesome I can just see the downside of the wooden blue and yellow tabletop, I spent many a weekend their in the early 80's racing and freestyle, we used to put the trick ramp in front of the table top and jump over it........good times.
Was stoked to get my name in a bmx weekly racing their which wasn't bad considering i raced on a GT performer with mags.
