Vic riders, Broadford in reverse, you interested?
« on: July 25, 2012, 11:29:27 am »
Hey Guy's, I just wanted to get an idea from Victorian riders (I guess interstate can contribute) as to whether they'd be interested in a ride day at Broadford with the mx track run in reverse?

I am putting it to the powers-that-be but they seem to think that no one would be interested in running the track the other way.  I was thinking that everyone would be a little bored with the same thing; I just wanted to change it up to make it more interesting.

Great idea !!!! I was hoping Marty would do that for HBBB but he wasn't at all interested. They had it like that quite a few years back and i reckon it was better for the older bikes. Not sure if the young fella's on modern bikes would be as keen...... Regards  Barf

I've ridden it both ways
Yeah, it would be a bit of a novelty and with the layout of the track and format of the jumps currently at Broadford you could get away with it.
Do it for one meeting then put it back to how it was - otherwise you might get too many kids whinging and sooking up (18-30 yr olds) - you know how the younger generation don't cope with change, with all their pancaking and scrubbing on the jumps.

Mitchell Ride Days are run Monthly.  We are currently talking to MV about running more events on the track; maybe even a weekly Thursday arvo thing ....... stay tuned.
