Bottom line vB, ball park figure for the UK leg. Don't mean to pry but we were to go this year and still hope to go next. Just a loose estimate will do.

Hey Brad,
Why don't you spend a few minutes at the keyboard and give us some insights into what sounds like a great event. Any photos etc? Come on, even international VMX Factory Riders can spare a few minutes for us plebs back home.

Perhaps you should get your side of the story out there before the video is released!  And before your Missus sees it! 

Or are you being shy, because you are going to be the new STIG?    I'm not saying you couldn't do it, but I reckon you might have trouble keeping your white overalls clean.    I can see it now… Brad van Barello - the Dirty STIG!!!

$2200 for the plane ride, cattle class. 750 pounds for the motor home which is your transport and accommodation. We took a 50 pound (where is that symbol?) ride in a cab to get the motor home. The rest are consumables. Fuel, food and cider etc. Don't spend a cent on that horrible beer!
John and I split everything which made it heaps better. He would eat one day and I would eat the next  . The pub was walking distance and served a great meal and the catering was there all weekend as well. Rusty had the better motor home as he dealt with a company direct. Ours used private owners that hire them so we never got a generator which is a must. There was plenty of tap water on site. Cheap week really considering. Just need to work out how to earn money while I'm away...

First hill we came up with the steps. From the top looking down.


Back down after running across the top. My arms and shoulders got a huge work out here. from the bottom looking up.


Next up hill when you get out of the 'forest'.

I was just floundering around as the track was chopped up big time. Not to mention the fact that I am a fat bastard with a lack of fitness didn't help.
