Post by: RATTY on August 19, 2007, 11:45 PM
And not a drop of photoshop, taken at Hayes today, jumping over doubles with a gap of over 15 foot.

Shame Billy Luckhurst isn't in the pics - he's a rad fooker and gets mega air over those jumps, which are well HUGE  :daumenhoch:

Is one of the guys on the cruiser the South African guy - he is well mental and jumps like that in the races  :idiot2:  :LolLolLolLol:

Nice shot of Charlie Luckhurst's head in the 3rd photo  :LolLolLolLol:

what a daft post.

racers have to jump if they want to make it quick through the track, and half the pics are of mtb riders?

Post by: teamsano on August 27, 2007, 04:50 PM
well, the question was asked.

'who says racers can't jump?'

being a bmx forum i expected to see a bmxer, silly me.

then shows some mtb dude jumping, then falling. so its a bit of a contradiction of a lie.

hence 'daft post'.

Well, lets all bow down to the almighty team sano, point taken, theres me thinking I would start a light hearted post with a couple of rad pics for everyone to enjoy. But I seem to have upset ya, tell ya what why not start another thread about why we quit, and then you can tell us how we all sold out to women, booze, family etc. That will make you feel great......

Yeah you tell him Ratty!!  Of course racers can jump.  Landing, now that's a different story!!  Anyway here's some silly old fifty something duffer getting a few inches of air under his wheels just to prove the point, though maybe not in quite such a spectacular fashion I'll admit.  Humps

You fellas obviously don't know who Teamsano is do you? Gogo and the Team Sano guys have shown more dedication to BMX (racing and everything else) than 99% of the people on this site will ever know. At every BMX event i attended (hundreds!) from the late 80's until today there has almost always been at least one member of Team Sano present. They invented tricks, manufactured parts and provided more hilarious video sections than anyone else! They certainly do not deserve derisive comments from people who were at raves or whatever while they were travelling the world riding with the best riders in the history of BMX!

All hail Team Sano! BMX legends! Goan yersell big man!

Even tho this was meant as a retorical (sp?) kind of post just to show some good jump pics from a race ...

Did anyone actually ever say "RACERS CANT JUMP"? Cos if they did .... they were probably wrong!  :crazy2:
Title: Re: WHO SAID RACERS CANT JUMP?
Post by: spillers#1 on August 28, 2007, 06:22 PM
There was no need to reply saying "what a daft post"

Respect to teamsano......but writing that lowered the tone  :)and there's a smiley for ya.

Post by: RATTY on August 28, 2007, 06:32 PM
I am fully aware of the legend that is / was team sano. And I have nothing but respect, but this is the second time I have felt his tongue lashing, albeit in jest...
I suppose its the keyboard warrior shit again... Oh well, theres a pint with sanos name on it waitin here.
