Those that are BMXing I’ll see you at 7:50 at the track. Bring drinking water and your Suitcase-of-Courage™.
Pint at The Church Inn afterwards. M25 1AJ

Those that are MTBing can sort themselves out, but take a waterproof 😉

I’ll be partaking in the BMXing. Not tried it before.

I’ll be donning my brave pants and the face i use to smash into hard things.

I’m holding Craig responsible for next Monday’s weather forecast after his “BMX in the summer is a waste of good weather” comment….

I’m provisionally in for Monday MTB though. Depending on where they end up. If we had a ride from Prestwich then we can all meet up in the Church and laugh at our respective injuries/nettle rash/midge bites…

I can lead a Prestwich ride if anybody’s interested?

“BMX in the summer is a waste of good weather”

Has he been in a different country to the rest of us for the past few “summers” or something?

Looking forward to a bit of 20″ wheel mayhem, see you all on Monday! 😀

24″ FTW 😀
See you all at the BMX on Monday night!

i may even buy a BMX before Monday night…

Buy as many man-toys as you can between now and October!

Hi xherbivorex

I’ve a 24″ BMX for sale if you want

which one, that floval flyer of yours?

I’d be up for a prestwich ride Gaz

Any news on “stunt” Donk?

What what what? Did someone do something daft after I left?

sore.
Bruised ribs, hopefully not cracked or anything like that, moving pretty slowly at the moment but can breathe ok 🙂

Oof. It’s quite hard that track if you hit it wrong. Heal up quick! And try not to sneeze. 🙂

Look all this concern is all fine and well but what we all want to REALLY know is
1) who had the go pro mount
2) when is it going online

That would be me 😀

Thanks for a fun BMX session everyone, it was the first time I’ve ever been on one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully you are feeling little better D0NK, let me know if you want the footage 😉

There was footage, ace!!! First time also and still have my teeth which was my only aim. Didn’t notice anyone crash, healing vibes D0NK.

Didn’t notice anyone crash,

first time for me too, it wasn’t very spectacular – I specifically avoided attempting anything spectacular, just trying to follow someone better than me and hitting the lumpy bits faster than my skill allowed for – and promptly tensing up when it all went squirelly.

Would be rude not to share* the footage with everyone dark side 🙂 Don’t expect it to be very exciting tho

*if you don’t have anywhere to host it online you can mail it me if you wish, address in profile

Its not very dramatic unfortunately, even in slow motion!

Oh, I dunno.

Oof!
Not a bad dismount, went to roll out of it, just a pity about slamming into the side of that jump really.

Thanks for catching that moment for prosperity dark side.

acceptable crash and shame you hit the wall

Kids seen it yet?

Not yet, probably won’t be interested.

Oooof – I didn’t see it, but I heard it from track-side as I was taking a breather.

The footage explains the sound that I heard quite well 😀

i love those rollers, you get out of shape on one and you know exactly what’s coming and there’s **** all you can do about it 😀

Yeah soon as i mistimed the first one i thought uh oh! The coach, Toby(?), said if you stay loose you are more likely to ride it out, complete opposite of what I did 🙁

yep, they’re lethal if you miss a beat on them. heard the crash from up on the start ramp. you gotta come back to beat them next time!

Glad you walked away from it.

Coming to a GIF page near you?

Those bumps were knackering. Almost came off a few times from my arms just giving up.

Not yet, probably won’t be interested

I shall rectify this forthwith
