Obviously, anything regarding the organisation of the event and what's going on there will need to be answered by the RADmins, but myself and the rest of the lads who've attended several, can offer a bit of guidance and insight into what to expect at the UK's (if not the world's) best BMX weekend.
Fire away lads. :radbmxsmilie:

Unfortunately, you've missed the glory days of Shiners and JT Smooth selling a huge amount of great OG NOS items, Shiners haven't been about for a few years and JT Smooth isn't attending this year, which is a shame.
Don't despair though, although I'm not in a position to confirm this, Alan's and Vertego have both been there over the last few years, so there's chance that they may be present at MK18. Don't expect too many bargains from Vertego (if he's there).

Take baby wipes! Probably more than one packet if you drop a packet in the portaloo when wiping yourself with a hangover.
You can't beat the feeling of a lemon fresh undercarriage after the excitement and heat of a few hours at MK. Plus it keeps your trainers all nice and clean (Probably use separate wipes!) :daumenhoch:
Also, tidy up your rubbish!

More of a tip than a question:

Good tips there's Paul.

Oh and headache tablets. Lots of them after you've been to the Dog & Duck!
Take a bike you can actually ride around on and not all carpet queens. Give the track a go, and if you're brave come and try the ramps, there will be plenty of us about to give a bit of advice
Don't get too pissed on Saturday and miss the lake ride. Then get really pissed but watch out for the breakdancing
Pick up your litter
Be chilled and relax. Ask questions. Start conversations as we're out from behind keyboards so get involved.
If there are any famous faces from back in the day about, say hello and treat them like normal human beings ;D
Thank the mods for giving up so much of their time to sort this awesome weekend out whenever you see them
And above all, enjoy yourselves :coolsmiley:

Any advice Dan on what to do if you get lost on way back to the hotel and haven't got any bog roll? :teef:
Yes, just sh!t on a roundabout, like we did back in Nam, use your boxers to wipe your arse, then discard in an adjacent bush. Then, when you've absolutely lost your bearings and have no idea where the hotel is, pray that Mattdub spots you from the other side of the road waving you on the right direction.

If you have a question about a bike, ask...……. We don't do knowledge is power. In fact most people won't shut up about their bikes!
As stated, please don't twist grips or squeeze brake levers as it does piss some people off!
If you have little kids or dogs or both PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep them away from the rows of beautiful bikes. Watching a domino rally of prides and joys is an awful thing to watch, even worse, to hear!
A big one DO NOT take your bike into the show tent when you are looking at the bikes. There isn't enough room at the best of times, but to unecessarily drag your bike around, with the chance of catching the chrome or powder of a show bike with your pedal or pegs is completely avaiodable. IT HAS BEEN DONE! Nobody will nick your bike if you leave it outside the marquee.
SHOW RESPECT FOR THE ORGANISERS AND EXHIBITS!!!!

Is there somewhere safe to put bikes we have brought with us and leave them all day ?

Your bikes are your responsibility. During the Saturday apart from Animals survivor competition there is no formal display. It is up to you to know where your bike is. Most leave them outside their tents on display to the folk who wander round. The Sunday is the formal Show and Shine where bikes are displayed in the marquee. This gets full pretty quick so the overflow are displayed in the surrounding area. Please note: it is still your responsibility to ensure your bike is safe not ours! If you are displaying YOU MUST BRING A STAND. No stand no show!
I have only ever known one bike be ‘stolen’ and the next day it was mysteriously found where the drunken victim had left it!

If your gazebo gets wrecked by the wind, or god help you it fires itself through a top sports car window!, please don’t just dump it. There will be a skip, please put your doomed shit in the skip and not leave it there for the mods/admin to pick it up!
Be kind to the admin team. They work their arse off, please don’t take the piss!
Take plenty of cash, there'll be bargains to be had.
......and it cost me nearly 300 notes for that car window. :(

Don't leave your vehicle alone with members of Team Clump ( RTC )
McDonalds is great for a number 2 on Sunday morning
Do a kickturn ( at least one ) on the ramps
Treat others as you'd like to be treated, especially when you are pissed and they aren't
Be nice to gingers.

Question from a first timer - When do the official events finish on Friday and Saturday nights? Sorry if I've missed a timetable posted elsewhere. Dey
The 4am club was called that for a reason Dey....... :buck2: :coolsmiley:
Then we drank till dawn once which made Sunday really tough so I'm not recommending that again...... sadly these days probably about midnight or until the booze runs out in the dog and duck, or people can't dink much more - those that can usually retire towards their tents for more :daumenhoch:

I’m normally one of the last standing on Fri and Sat, I’m not being being big-headed about that, I’m just stupid ang don’t know when to stop. If you want my advice, don’t go mad, especially on the Friday as it ruins the event part next day. MK is a marathon, not a sprint.

Personally I like to hit the ground running as soon as I arrive ( lunchtime Friday ) and maintain an above average level of drunkenness until I go home , this method has never let me down but I am a trained professional.
That you are Sir.
