I reckon once Geoff Braico finds out it's been done before he'll stop doing it :D  at least call it the right name "KISS CHASE" x 3 ;D

THATS NOT NEW, WE DID THAT BACK IN THE 60`S AND 70`S IT WAS CHASE CHARLIE, THREE RIDERS,

Dave, I believe the WOW factor is not so much WHAT they are doing but more HOW they are doing it! Call me cynical, but I don't know if many were dragging their bars whilst they "chased charlie".....

Teebone circle work has been around for years, l personally practiced  CIRCLE WORK back in my day when l was racing on my montesa and honda elsinore, but we didn`t call it that.
Dave, "circle work" has been around for years and is valuable training tool....were YOU dragging the bars "back in the 60's and 70's
'? If not, then it IS new!

I wish I could find the amazing shot of a circa mid seventies Husky mounted Kent Howerton scraping his bars that I'm certain was published in either MXA or Dirt Bike. The caption described how he was doing it lap after lap which supports Daves assertion that we were all doing it back in the day ::).

In the meantime here's a couple of great shots.
