Couldn't resist putting this up.
I know its me and I'm sorry, but its a good one I think :santa_afro:
Especially if you know how big this gap is/was! :idiot2:
Oh happy days...... :smitten:

what was that on then geth. cool pic by the way.
-
Was you on a `Dexy`s midnight runners`sort of dress theme at that time Geth :wtf:
Nice jump though, was that a photo shoot as I see there was someone trying to do the arty shot from underneath :idiot2:
-
cool pic
everytime we did a road trip we always went to broadmarsh banks and great for a laugh and some cool lines there.shame most of it was blocked off last time we went which was 4 years ago
-
It was a GT race bike.
No photo shoot. Me, Dylan Clayton & Tony Holland went down one day.
If you knew Broadmarsh there always seemed to be someone with a camera - usually Donovan. I think Donovan took this pic.
-
thats mental Geth!!
Broadmrsh Banks are still MOSTLY there, some were lost when they built the Tram Station.
Donovan had a white with red spots Mountain bike last time I saw him (3 years ago)
:) DINGO :)
-
I went down to have a look a while ago.
A lot of its gone. I never though to have a look if this line was still possible.
It was a sketchy run up and dodgy gap even then!
-
how wide was it then ?.
-
If you want to go and do it again, i am sure Andy would video it for everyones viewing pleasure and if it goes tits up I am pretty handy at putting cyclists back together ;)
:) DINGO :)
-
how wide was it then ?.
Not sure......I reckon 20ft or so to clear it properly.
It was the dodgy run up that threw things. Had to sort of zig zag at it past a brick built column.
The transitions weren't nice either!
I wished I had the balls now that I had then!! :crazy2: :idiot2:
-
We could do a street ride in Notts if people are up for it?
I only live 1 mile from Broadmarsh so people could park here if they like?
What does everyone reckon??
:) DINGO :)
-

I ride there quite a bit so does dingo, you should come down and give it another go
Andy
-
bloody ell I just noticed that all the drink and other stuff I did over the weekend has now changed my sex :D
-
No nuts left to do it again though.......
-
Still worth a blat around town to see whats about?
I went for a pint at "The Trip" a couple of weeks back and there was a kid using the wall outside as a quarter which looked fun
:) DINGO :)
-
Wait for a sunny day then!
-
fat chance these days
-
donovan was mr. smooth on a bike and his trickstar was sweet bitd
-
Didnt his TS get stolen at a comp or something??
:) DINGO :)
-
at the holeshot comp i think ?
-
Definitely went missing at a Holeshot because Donovan had a bit of a legal battle with Ruffell to get some compensation!
-
Nice pic mate liking it
-
was it a transfer geth?
-
Wicked pic that Geth, all new school and everything!!!
-
Just noticed in DIG magazine that there is a small peice about Broadmarsh and it says that local legend Vinny "Mad Vinny" Hunter did the chasm in 99 at the farewell jam, you beat him to that one then Geth?
:) DINGO :)
-
By a long time!
-

God knows what was going on with the hair. It was the 80's though, when hairstyles were daft.
Mind you. It seems like the hairstyles have gone full circle with the youth of today. They'll still tell us they're trendy and we know nowt though........

How`s the new job Geth :daumenhoch:
-
Hello mate.
Still trying to get my teeth into it. Its going to take some time to actually figure out how to work things for the best. Its getting there slowly.....
Loads of ideas coming from all angles. Some I can use, some I can't.
Need a depth of talent to choose from which isn't there like the old days. Got some great riders, but not in huge quantities. long gone are the days we could fill a euro final with Uk riders.

Are you racing this year ? and hows your knee ? oh and will you be coming down to MK for our summer meet on the 5th and 6th of August ?

My knees pretty much better now thanks. Went to the doctors a couple of weeks ago and while it still has some swelling he said it should be fine within a few weeks. I've missed the 1st two nationals, not right for Wales and will miss Peterborough anyway through work. Depending on whether I get to ride much (still not rode right since Christmas) I'll see about doing some racing. Not sure what though. :-\
I'm actually free that weekend but its the missus' birthday on the 4th. I'll have to try my best powers of persuasion :LolLolLolLol:
