Round two of the Summer Series at Hersden takes place on 17th May. Hopefully we will have one or two more Old Skoolers up for it this time, if you are coming let me know by pm or this thread, although pre reg will not be taken.
Cruiser turnout for round one was great, and any riders wishing to bring the bigger bikes are invited to let me know here, so I have a rough idea on numbers.
Also during this meeting, listen out for details on the Hersden Charity Day , that takes place during round five of the series on August 16th.
Hope to see you all there

i must try and make it this time tony :) got to get the cruiser title off the humps clan :D
-
count me in both bikes
-
It's on my calendar but as house goes on market on the previous Friday I hope maybe I'll have some viewers that day. We shall see nearer the time. Would be a shame to miss the meeting. Humps
-
yep think so - think Andrea will have a go as well.
-
Nice one guys, will be good to see Simon and Spillers back at Hersden, and Crooch, if Andrea has a go I think we could be in for a busy afternoon in the Ladies class, we had seven in round one that could be doubled next week :daumenhoch:
tk
-
i'm up for it, as long as nothing comes up......maybe both bikes too???? :2gunsfiring_v1: if i can get a b/b for the intense :idiot2:
-
I hope to be there, missed the last one due to the wifes birthday :'(

All cool so far, looks like James Cornford will be putting in an appearance in the C ruisers. See you at Daggers tomorrow
TK

I should be there Tone
Chris

cant decide if Cruiser or OS.....
-
Fingers crossed for the weather guys. It wasnt looking too good for Sunday earlier in the week, but now the bbc say the east of England should have bright spells and a few scateered showers , so we should be OK :daumenhoch:

Do both Simon, there will be plenty of time for you to recover ;D
-

-
I might pop along and watch for a while. :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah ... we've just got back from Skaterham and the kids r asleep now :) What times registration close tomorrow as we'll definately be there but just wondering if I can let them have a bit of a lay in.

It`s usually about 12 noon Sharon :daumenhoch:
-
Thanks Bill I kidded myself I'd get a lay in ... Nicholas was awake by 7.20 as always :(
Its really grey n miserable here but presume its still on as nothing posted so we'll leave in about 5 mins :)
See you there :)
-
Another top day, the rain came, went, was sunny, bloody blowy and then rained again as we left!! but 80 odd riders was a fantastic turn out with the changing weather.
Thanks to TK and Justin and all the others that normally remain nameless (who is the nice guy who always does call up?) for another brilliantly ran event.
Lots of stacks today, hope everyone heals ok. Andrea has an egg the size of a lemon on her inner thigh and is now wrapped up on the sofa getting lots of sympathy... but i think she'll be back for more.b
Big Kev - buy some bloody armour will ya!
Anyone got any piccies?

many thanks to all who braved the elements today.big thanks to the oatens.sharon for finish line and moto sheets,matt for bossing the finish line and nick for lending out his bike to a hersden local.without the constant help we always get from visiting riders and their families it would make the day very much more difficult indeed.
hope you liked the tweeks to the jumps.had a lot of falls today but no one seemed to blame us so its all good.hope your all not to sore in the mornings.three massive stacks one after another ,on the first doubles was mad.
lots of fun and games and well done to everyone,especially in the interval when everybody seemed to be aware of what was going on around them.did'nt need to get out my pram to much which means the younger ones are learning what is safe and whats not. :4_17_5:
i think the amount of stacks is testament to just how competitive the younger classes are getting.as well as a couple of looneys in o/s and cruiser. :LolLolLolLol:
once again a fantastic day and thanks for coming.justin.
just got a text from tony,3 way tie for the lead in 5 and unders between angel,reece and lucas.mad or what.
-
Another top day's entertainment at Hersden as always thanks to TK, Justin and the gang (Crooch - that's Terry who runs the Youth Club on call-up) . Just shy of 90 riders is really something and when you looked around the crowd you could count a few more that could have been racing but chose not to. Great to see Ratty out again in OS and hope his ankle is OK after they check him out at A&E at Darent Valley - I'm sure he or Nikki will post up later. Not quite sure about the lips on the second straight jumps as they do tend to launch you and old farts like me pitch into the next transition but hey, ho that's progress and I guess I ought to learn to jump properly. Good to see the 'painted lady' Nick Cox back out again and doing his best to catch Dan Pullen in Masters. If I'm still around Kent for the next meeting then I'll see you all there but if I've gone to Cornwall then wayhay!! Humps
-
know what your saying about the lips humps, but the kids need to find their feet and jump the things.once the kids got used to them they loved them as the lips give them the confidence to have a go at them, when they might not have tried them before.now when they go to other tracks they'll know what it feels like to be in the air.this is the thinking behind it and if we had had a load of complaints we would have mellowed them out.they seemed to deal with and if the wind had been normal you would have seen loads of kids having a go at them.the track is getting loads of use by locals at the moment so they will mellow naturally anyway.we got some more tweeks planned,the step up on the 3rd straight is being built up asap.expect nice lips on that as well.we ar'nt gonna kill anyone though and the track will always be "for the kids" the learn and progress.
-
What a great day yet again at fab Hersden, you guys really do put on a fantastic family day, we all had a ball :4_17_5:
We just got back from A & E, Tony has a posible fracture inside the foot/ankle joint but a specialist is looking at the X Rays on Tuesday to clarify. For now it's a few days with his feet up and hobbling around on crutches and avoiding me giving him a lethal injection :LolLolLolLol:
-
Massive thanks once again to all those who came today. Big thumbs up to those who helped me with the moto sheets . Sharon for looking after the finish line and keeping the area clear (You too Matt). Terry for call up and all others who mucked in.
This is turning out to be our biggest year with 96 riders for round one and 90 today.
Hope everyone who crashed out today is ok. Lewis , Andrea and especially Kev, the guy could hardly breathe after the O/S crash and still won the Cruiser final......MENTAL
See you all on Father's Day June 21st

Just back from the hospital and a bollokking of Nik,,lol
Foots bloody sore and I gotta go back next week, but at least they cant find a break at the mo.
I gotta say I really missed the action in the last 12 months, and although I stacked twice today I loved being on my favourite little track.
Sorry for stacking it Nik, it was Billys fault.
Gonna cost me a bloody fortune as I havent got any sick pay left, have to get back to walking sharpish
-
good to see you and the Rat Pack enjoying the racing again Tone.
at least my bike managed to get to the final if but for only 25 metres or so.... But even big Kev Couldnt break it! and i was going to get the bars re painted anyway so no worries there.

Too much too soon i think Kev, racing 2 classes (and racing hard and fast) when your not fighting fit yet is always going to end in pain!!!
When you come back do a bit at a time & ease yourself into it, get 'race fit' gradually, they're all talking about how quick you are and when your get fit you'll be kicking ass!!!
Look forward to racing you again but dont try and run before you can walk if you know what i mean!! ;)
Did you see the pic of you (just) in front of me in the first turn at Daggenham? :coolsmiley:
Heal soon buddy.
-
:uglystupid2: no me be taking it easy for a while trying to much to soon wont help
-
Points for all groups are now up on www.hersdenbmx.co.uk. There are some pretty close groups at this stage, which is what we want :)
Glad to hear you weren't too badly bashed up Kev. That was a nasty thud as you guys hit the floor. Cant wait to see the video.
Same goes for Ratty, didnt know you needed the hospital, Get well soon mate.
TK
-
Get well soon Kev - good rest time... We'll see you on the track soon.
Andrea is ok - good dose of Arnica last night and a few hot baths and she is walking if but hobbling around. Bruising is coming out nicely and i dont think it will put her off. Its a good job she was wearing body armour i think....
She might listen a bit more next time though....

:2gunsfiring_v1:
-
just got out of a and e told just about torn every muscle in my stomach
Kev, I would get a second opinion on that, as I didn't think you had any muscles in your stomach ;)
Just joking with you buddy. Sorry to hear about the crashes and injuries and hope you are back terrorising me in 40+ again soon. We've had some good tussles this season and I look forward to more when you're fit and well again.
So who won old school and cruiser?
-
Aiden Christie won, 1st race back as i understand and did really well as the only rider to stay upright in the A final :LolLolLolLol:

So who won old school and cruiser?
Aiden won OS on Kev's bike (and looked bloody stylish all day apart from when he tried to manual the whole of the final rhythm section and flipped out in practise!!!) - billy got up off the ground the quickest to get second, ratty 3rd Kev 4th obv.
Then some how Kev gets on his Cruiser and holds off Billy and me in the A final... Mental!
-
a blast from the past returned and won old skool aiden christie dont know how and regretting it i got back up and won cruiser most proberly caused more damage to myself racing that than falling off
-
oh and Aiden having fully go the bug again needs a bike so if anyone has an OS race bike (he likes the Haro's) that they are looking to sell drop kev a line. (mind you i think Kev's will be available for the next month or so. :2funny:)
-
:LolLolLolLol: bored shitless in bed and still get beat to answering mikes question at least i didnt fall off bed
-
have to say that stack was hard...glad everybody is kinda ok after it....keep telling you armour is worth it, i am proof, after stacking hard on my recently fixed knee, then having man mountain Ratty roll into me (sorry it brought you down Tony, hope i didn't cause the ankle mate :() i got up with out a scathe.
Aiden did do well, but same said, give me two legs with equal power.......we'll see :2gunsfiring_v1:
-
It's easy to look good when the big guns aren't riding anymore/at the moment/injured. ;D

-
Ratty if it's any consolation I broke an ankle like a right fool playing footy last year - jumper for a header, farted like a trooper, started laughing
and ended up landing badly on it. So at least you didn't look like too much of a tit in the process.
-

Just opened up a photo section on the hersden site, if anyone has anything lying around from our races on their cameras it would be great to have them on there. Doesn't have to Hersden either, if you have anything from regionals that would be cool too.
