can i race novice seeing as i always come last in the northern os series might stand chance then >:D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
...and it begins :-X
-
Yeah, can I cos i never raced before December 2007 ???
-
im always last in the south series perhaps we should arrange a race between ourselves on the saterday as its just practice day see who is the king of being last :daumenhoch:
-
Just stick with it. I rode 30-39 cruiser for 2 seasons and came last pretty much every lap unless people fell off.
But I just kept racing and eventually got a bit better. There's no easy motos in 40+, but I don't always come last anymore.
Stick with it fellas and continue to have fun :daumenhoch:
-
Ive only raced two meets and im shit, but i wouldnt race novice.
If you have any experience of racing just go in the normal OS class..
its all good.

Snap! as he saya :daumenhoch:

Novice class should be banned !!! A kid from our club is racing novice this year in clips!!!!! Takes the piss just a lot!!! Our kids never raced novice, It made Nicholas more determined to go faster and get to the front ... hence he has just got 6 and under South Series no.1 in the bag and Chloe just has a poodle round regardless where she races and who shes up against ;D

Or you cut-up Carl Potts... ;) ;D

i'm just sooooooo looking forward to the whole thing! and anyway last place is the most contested and coverted place! :daumenhoch:

I've noticed that, wtf is going there?? I know clipatiedodars are a sign of the times, but surley that's wrong, if your 'good enough' to use clips your good enough to ride in expert.
I don't think there's a rule about it, but I think it'll have to be brought up at the next South comittiee meeting. Humps, what do you think as regional ref?
Sorry to get a bit off subject, but it's something i've been thinking about, and this thread is about novice racing.

Its going to be like Pursuit Velodrome Cycling with Pickle and Co trackstanding on the berms seeing who can hold out the longest!!! :LolLolLolLol:
If you have clips you ride expert instead of novice.
If you put stabilisers on your BMX could you ride as a Novice!!!! :crazy2:
-
there should be trophy for last there gonna be more competition for that place than there is for first ;D
-
i know the kid you are talking about but to be fair to him it is his first season and therefore he is allowed to ride Novice - if he can ride clips fair do's to him.
have you seen the 15+ novice class its not exactly slow!!! most of them would give the normal 15 yr olds a run for their money.
-
Not to mention us old schoolers. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Humps, what do you think as regional ref?
Agree it's not quite playing the game is it but there's nought in the rules to stop them. Just because clips are a 'pro' thing doesn't mean they can't be worn as a Novice unfortunately, but maybe worth bringing up at next committee meeting, after all we can run our Series how we like, can't we??!! I'm thinking of getting some for my MTB so might just switch them onto the Redline to see your faces!! :D And my Lycra skin-suit's in the post. ;) Humps

Humps, lycra, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :D

I have rolled round at the back with Humps a fair few times and to be honest it never bothered me ...........................at first. :LolLolLolLol:
I slowly got a little quicker until i won my first Final ( albeit B-Final ) I won none the less. :2gunsfiring_v1:
No novice class........ sorry........ you are all grown men who can pedal standing up ......... pedal faster. :angrysoapbox:

Spot on, fun and close... wether you're at the back or the front :daumenhoch:

me and moley have had few really good battles for next to last place .best races ive had are when me and him are in the same motos as were evenly matched .first or last can be some good racing
-
I totally agree!!
Racing is racing
Whether its for the lead or just for a place at the back!!!
Tis all good!!! :daumenhoch:
Without competition, life would be just a long tedious procession!!!

I've run clips on my MTB's for the last 10 years and wouldnt think of running anything else... when i was in whistler last year the guides got us to use flats but i didnt like them on a MTB
I run flats on a BMX and wouldnt use clips on them even though i could.... they arent exactly old school are they.....
