He caught up with us tonight at the track. I'll send him back if you like as Englishmen aren't welcomed here!! ;) Humps
-
I will be trying to beat Mooro on his home turf with my newly
aquired skills after getting some tips from Dylan Clayton.
-
ill be there to watch and shout at you silly old gits
-
I felt rotten at P'boro this weekend (caught a bug in America 3 weeks ago which is proving hard to shift), but needed to get my fix of racing.
Hoping to be better for this Sunday.
Be interesting to see how the track rides after recent changes.
-
A few from the north are coming down for the national and we'll be there for the regional :daumenhoch:
Got a bid of a bad back so not sure if I'll be racing in 30-39 cruiser, my daughter is racing in U7 girls if you have any down there for her to race, Ivesy and Speedy Reidy are coming down as well :daumenhoch:
-
Is Bof back on his bike yet? Hope he's recovered from his injuries in time for the national.
-
My freebie Ashes tickets have just disappeared so looks like ill be making the trip now....
-
ill be there to watch and shout at you silly old gits
Tony if you're gonna be there anyway, might as well take your bike and race :daumenhoch:
-

Spoke to him at w/e I don't think he'll be riding :( but he's still coming down for a bit of a hol.

Mike
Would loved to have raced but ive got 2 cracked ribs and want to be ok for the brits had to ride the last 2 regionals in a lot of pain and have been told total rest no biking or the gym so me and the misses just having a weekend away .
Going to do a few nationals next year after my first year back and its been alot hard than i thought gone the days where power rules its all them jumps that slow me down lol
-
That's fair enough Tony. Didn't realise you were another one on the injured list.
There are very few power tracks around these days. All crammed full of jumps and very few places to get a good few cranks in.
-
COULDNT AGREE MORE going to train my arse over the winter and try to jump again its all fun and i love it glad to be back racing and making loads of new friends ill look out for you mike at bournmouth be good to put a face to the name
-
Yeah, I've been trying to learn to jump for the last 2 winters but with very little progress. I can do it on my MTB but the cruiser stays glued to the track. Gonna mess around with some new cruiser designs to try and design one that takes off a bit easier (I have a few ideas).
I raced you at Hayes and on Sunday at P'boro. I was the one who scraped into the A-final and then crashed in the last berm. I love P'boro track but something always seems to happen to me there. I was in 3rd place in the B-final at the national and got a puncture down the 3rd straight. Then I crashed last week.
Bournemouth is another track I usually crash on :uglystupid2:
-
missed you again then i think i know why i thought that was someone else and not the mike who was racing but thinking about mike and mike of dialed bikes should have give me a clue lol i was not on it at boro in a lot of pain just wanted to get my 5 for the brits ive not raced since the 80s all very differant mike but next year ill know my way round most of the tracks at least
-
It'll come, Tony. I was truly awful when I came back in 2006 and although I'm still not that hot a racer/rider, I can gate OK, have a decent first straight and manage to give a few people a bit of a race (normally towards the middle/back of the pack, but it's better than just following round in 8th place like I did for my first couple of seasons). Stick with it and you'll reap the rewards.
-
I bet a lot of the riders in 40+ would like to be able to win the B final (southern champs) and get 3rd (bournemouth), i'd call that pretty good myself Mike, dont put yourself down!!! :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers Keith. I have this obsession with being able to jump again. I will never be happy with my riding until I can jump properly. It frustrates me that I can jump quite a bit of stuff on my mountain bike but barely anything on my BMX.

Same here!!
I dont feel comfortable jumping on 24 or 20". I always panic and end up off balance!! I wish I was a fearless kid again!!
Track designs don't help much either!!
I want a good tabletop followed by nothing so I can land comfortably and build up my confidence. It makes it hard when there is another jump or some rythym's straight after!!
I think I need to grow a pair!! :LolLolLolLol:
I'm gonna try and work on it as I'll never progress until I feel comfortable in the air!! :daumenhoch:
-
I feel a Wilson masterclass coming on!!! :smiley6600:
-
Yep, winter I need to hit the trails near you Keith. And hopefully my slacker angled cruiser will help next season.
Are you racing this weekend?
-
Been riding with Mark Barden this week and although very very painfull i can manage so i think i'll give it a go, besides riding with no expectations or pressure is cool. :coolsmiley:
-
I'll be at Bournemouth, just unsure of racing due to my knee not staying located in the correct position for any length of time at the min.
Besides, my son still has an outside chance of winning the series in 13-14 boys!!!! So moral support all the way.
It's a van full of injuries I'm bringing up, so if the weather is good, will make it less painful to ride ;)

Found the ideal place near where you live to get you jumping simon, speak to you about it soon and maybe meet you over there next week while we still have some light in the evenings. :daumenhoch:
-
Sounds very interesting, can I join as well as seriously need to start getting my wheels off the ground, although after seeing some of the crashes at the weekend I'm not sure :LolLolLolLol:

Yes just needs a little work to make it perfect for jump training,
Paul you should come over too.
-
yeah have jumped around on the bouncer but nothing on bmx as of yet, be good to session...
-
Anyone know a vague timetable for this meet? I want to bring the boy down to have a look and see if I can tempt him to get involved eventually....
