All the hotels are within 5 minutes drive from the track apart from Crewe Barthomley Travelodge which is approx 10 minutes away.
For anyone who can't make MK09 or Manchester due to holidays etc, etc then this will be a great alternative to race this superb track.
If you can't make the Saturday then dont worry about it. So long as you can make the Sunday then your in business.
This years regional at Crewe was one of the best regionals we've had in a while and gave the OS a good boost in the North.
We had some Southern Riders and a few newbies at this regional and all 23 riders enjoyed it.
Everyone is welcome and there are plenty of classes for the rest of you family!! :daumenhoch:
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmm :-\
-
I have booked a twin room at the Waverley Hotel costing £37 per room!!
So I'm definitely going!!
I might be Filming the event for Gav, so I might not be able to race though!! :-\
MADD DOGG should go for this one as your missing out on MK and Manchester!!
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmm :-\
its a no can do for me dude too by the looks :'(
-
Lookin like an easy win for someone!!
I think the track must have a little to do with the lack of OS rider ???
Im working but still would'nt go if I was'nt :buck2:
-
I enjoyed Crewe!!
My only win!! The best of the worst!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
Everyone do this!
I missed out on the Bob Field era but as far as I can gather he surely was the man and did massive amounts for UK BMX racing.
This event will be a biggy and some top boys are planning to race elite.
The track is fine for OS and it wont kick you up to the moon. Preston has more kickers these days and everyone loved that.
Do it. Race OS and then enter the grands as well just for the frisk of lining up against Bloomy and Phillips.
You may even get interviewed by roaming report Flem on the Moleski commemorative DVD!!
Southern boys - get yerselves up. Saturday night will be messy!!
Dex :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
lining up against Bloomy and Phillips.
I could take 'em!! :D
-
Imagine... this is the stuff dreams are made of.
Moley lining up against the top boys, the gate drops, Moley gets the snap of his life, 4th into the first turn, 5th into the 2nd, then...
Oh no, what, the elite rider in second has overshot the pro and taken the top three riders out. Carnage!!
Moley is in 2nd place. This is it. Now or never!
He pumps that third straight to within an inch of life and he's still in it as he approaches the rhythm section. He has to keep it now. 2nd would be amazing.
Then all of a sudden, almost like he's been struck by lightning he pulls a pick up manual at the start of the rhythm and he just pumps that baby through on his back wheel, picking up more and more speed as he goes. As he touches that finish line it's too close to call. The crowd goes wild and a photo finish is called.
The crowd is silent as the race ref studies the footage. He lifts his arm and touches Moley's helmet. He did it!! He did it!! He won the grands!
Girls run toward him desparate to touch the king. Elite riders come to shake his hand. He is the winner.
They'll make a Hollywood film out of this, mark my words.
All this could be yours people - just get yerselves there. :D
-
come on Dex
you have got to let us know ?
WHAT MEDICATION YOU ON :2funny:
-
..............and touches Moley's helmet.
That'll make his day then!! :shocked:
-
Bumpety bump.
Remember - you do not need a licence for this event. So for all the people put off by the costs of licences this year - get yourself to this event and try it out.
-
:( Can`t make this one...
-
There is now zero riders on this list!! :(
I'll be too busy filming to race!!
Trophys for the top 3 OS Riders!!
If only 3 turn up then you'd all get a trophy.
And 3rd place trophy is big!! :daumenhoch:
-
I might enter at this rate?!?!?
-
I might enter at this rate?!?!?
You trophy hound!!
Remember you need to race a class (any class) so you can then race the Grands against Elite racers!!
Should be fun!! :D

Haro group 1

Ya gonna end up with another nice trophy to sit aside your MK Novice Trophy on the mantlepiece!!
2 Races and 2 trophies!!
I won a trophy at Manchester last winter but not for winning, just for not coming last!!
JD!! Stands for Jammy Dodger!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
Get your names down - it's all going off at Crewe with work on the high jump bar yesterday.
-
If your coming down on Sunday then make it early!!
Registration close very early on!!
Pre-registration will close at 10pm on Thursday 30th July - after this time you can only register at the event on Saturday 1st from 4pm-6pm or Sunday 2nd from 8am-9am.
If you have entered but not paid then you must pay your fees before 09:30am on Sunday 2nd or your name will be removed from the rider list.

Only one old schooler on the Pre Reg list. That's two trophies going spare...
-
I might bring ma bike then!! ???

Go on Moley, dont leave me on my own. :-[
Me and thee can battle it out - you have the advantage mate Ive never ridden crewe before. :D
-
I wont leave you on your own!!
If no-one else shows up then I'll attempt to give ya a good ass whupping!! :daumenhoch:

Cheers mate ;D :daumenhoch:
-
Dex will have to do some filming while I'm racing!!
If there are only us 2 then we'll be stuck in with some kiddies who probably kick our arses!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
Yep - I'll happily film.
Of you could bring more bikes and I'll ride too ?!?
I'm toying with the idea of doing two classes as it is - Cruiser and Masters but I'm not sure my legs can take it.
-
But who will film?
If you want to race OS then I'll bring a bike and you can race JD!!!
Then he wont be lonely!!
I might be stuck up on a container filming so I'm not too bothered about racing!!
LMK and I'll bring one for saturday and you can take it with you on saturday night so that I dont have the hassle of taking it into the hotel and repacking the car in the morning!! :daumenhoch:
-
Nah - only joking.
I could have been encouraged to make it the numbers in a full gate but not just for a couple of people.
I'll be tired enough as it is. Last call for everyone else though!!!
P.s. - have you seen the grands elite rider list :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
This will be an AMAZING spectator event.
There is even a story going round that Dylan Clayton has built a bike up ;)
-
Should be a great event for sure, looks like its just me and you then Moley. :)
Me and my lad have recently joined the Wrexham BMX club (Wrexham Rebels) and the pro who teaches the class is Martin (OGGY) Ogden, was saying he will be there racing in the elite class - he also wants to give my bike a good thrashing round the track, poor bike wont know whats hit it. :LolLolLolLol:

Get yourself down on Saturday JD and enjoy the High Jump and possibly some attempts at the triple on the 3rd straight!! :daumenhoch:
PS. Is your lad signed up. There are novice races on Saturday?
-
Cant make the Sat mate, that would require a two day pass, its hard enough getting a one day. :knuppel2:
Matthew isnt quite ready to race yet, next year he will hopefully be up for it and he will be 11 then. He's a shy lad so he has to feel comfortable before he will attempt anything, the BMX club should give him more confidence.
Im also on a reasearch trip to see what bikes the lads use in the 11/12 class, will need to invest for next year. £££
P.S. Thats some rider list, holy shit. 8)
-
You should do the Grands too!! :daumenhoch:
At least you can say you lined up against some of the big boys!! :)

Moley mate you will be a big enough challenge never mind the pro's or fast 17+ year olds. :LolLolLolLol:
Just ahd a look at the weather on metcheck.com and so far its not looking too bad.
-
Last call for tomorrow.
It's all gone off goodstyle today and despite the weather it was top drawer.
Novice racing went down a treat with trophies all round.
No clips race was mint. Can't tell you who won as I was too busy coming last.
Ash Davey took £42 for the pump race win and after a MASSIVE hi jump contest over the Crewe pro Ash Davey again took the £100 prize from C&K.com. 12 foot I reckon.
Loads of top riders are already there with more to come tomorrow.
See you then....
Bonza.
Dex
-
be there watchin in the morning :daumenhoch:
-
Had a great day even if I did get beat by a 12 year old :LolLolLolLol:
It was good to meet you both Moley and Dexter, thanks for the banter and helping me to understand what was going on.
Crewe track is very scary and the level of tallent on the day was amazing, the Bob Grands Final was just mind blowing with Calum Strickland making an early charge to 2nd place to be overtaken on the last berm to put him in third place, the winner Marcus Bloomfield was just a display of sheer talent.
Pic of me and moley being beaten by the kids ;D

Class picture.
If Jai was there sorry I didn't meet you.
JD and Moley - need to get a picture of your trophy up - that's one nice pot.
Rider numbers were too low :( but elite was as good as it gets. Bloomy and Phillips were dying as they crossed the line - that's how hard they tried.
Good to see Dylan back racing - he was mixing it with the young guns.
I loved Masters but got well and truly trounced. More practice needed ;D ;D ;D
-
Here you go bud, the pots with Moley giving it large.

Was good to meet you Jai as well. :coolsmiley:
-
I think those 12 year olds (maybe even younger) were smacked off their heads on Relentless!!
I might have beaten them but I was scared of falling on them and killing them if I had a major wobble!!
The Crewe track was harder than the regional. I think the jumps were more lippy. Either that or my hangover was affecting me!!
I had wobbles on every moto!! :-\
Scary track for OS but a great laff!!
Glad you enjoyed yourself JD. All other tracks in the North Region pale in comparison to Crewe. Hartlepool is very rideable for OS.
The whole weekend was great!!
I'll get footage up in the next 2 days when I have sorted it all out!! :daumenhoch:
