Title: Photos of Peckham OS Class
Post by: Faze7-Ade on March 04, 2009, 11:16 PM: I got bored waiting to race again, so I decided to take the photo's given to me by a friend, and do a bit of cropping, to make them look more than just snaps. So thanks for the photo's Sakkie !

Crooch, Kev, Ratty, Magoo & Dave, hope you like them !

Sadly, I'll have to wait a while before I get the chance to race again (not going to make it to the next round of the Southern Series :()

Post by: mr.magoo on March 05, 2009, 08:37 AM: yeah that was pre paint strip, since then raced the daggers regional, and the plating, which i've been told is nickel, not chrome, has corroded. spent three hours with autosol so far, just to remove the worst off the rear triangle, gonna start the front end today.....doh :'(

Post by: mr.magoo on March 05, 2009, 09:40 AM: was thinking about it, but thats back burner now, as wont be riding it now for months till op recovery is over, so once polished it'll do.....oh and i just brought an Intense cruiser frame to replace my 08 Haro that i can't get on with, so BMX budget spent for a while....but happy finally got what i originally wanted in terms of cruiser, just roll on full race fitness.....however far away that is >:D

Post by: mr.magoo on March 05, 2009, 01:41 PM: oh yes...lovely bright blue beast....favourite colour, and just at the right time, cos was gonna strip the Haro and get coated that colour while i'm out.....think Peckham was a bit of a race of attriction, first moto i slipped both pedals outta gate, and kev slipped kis over speed jump and castrated himself on his stem bolt.....rest of races Kev was trying just too hard to beat me, hence the back flip whilst behind me, and the final...he got a great holeshot, we both jumped the speed jump/table-top together, but Kev had better line into first turnm, thought i'd done enough to secure 2nd in the final until Faze 7 Dave and you come steaming up the inside in the last corner, then knee decided it was game over :LolLolLolLol:

but as they say to win it you gotta be in it, and consisitency was the winner on the day :4_17_5: "Crooch" Regional Champ :daumenhoch:
