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!

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 :)

Post by: Geth on December 04, 2005, 10:18 PM

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??

Title: Re: BROADMARSH!! (for anyone that knows it)
Post by: Geth on December 05, 2005, 05:58 PM
Definitely went missing at a Holeshot because Donovan had a bit of  a legal battle with Ruffell to get some compensation!

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........

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:
