Freaky never ceases to confound both logic and me ;D
Now that we have the correct link the vid's a ripper. I laughed along with Roger with your wobbly first lap but before long found myself sticking my foot out for corners and moving around on the seat. Good stuff.

Brent, I judged your award on the fact you drove all the way from Darwin with one bike.That's hero stuff in my book

In that case my apologies and thanks go to you Col :-[.

That clip is the first time I've seen myself from a riders point of view.
At 3.40 I got around the outside but couldn't get away!

Big Toe - That film is so cool!   Sorry for saying, but I was laughing most of the way thru. 
Sorry, but I loved the bit where you rode over the guy.   And I really like your petrol tank.

Film is totally Nek Minnit-plus!!

Had the same reaction D :D ;D :D ;D :D  Love your cover version
Keep Smiling :)

Could feel myself riding the track again with that Vid. great stuff. Also laughing at the misfortune of others riders having get offs, why is that  :D

Thanks Col and all helpers who made the event happen, the split seemed a success for the pre 78 boys, hope the pre 85/90 get the same support ;)

I went down for a look (at my first vmx event) on the Saturday and was impressed with the layout of the track and the quality of the bikes.  Took a few random photos and talked to a few people, although the only person I knew who they were was Walter, he even conned me into giving him a push start ;)

I was wondering what would be a good way of working out who people are for those of us who don't know anyone on the here personally.  Maybe put your username on your shade tent?

Anyhow, I enjoyed my first look at a classic vmx event, although I doubt I'll get a pre 78 bike, I've never even ridden a pre 78 bike (my first bike was a 81 model when I was 12), the event looked like it was well run and I enjoyed watching  :D

Don't let that stop you. My first bike was a '79 gt80. I didn't know three quarters of the bikes even existed. Earliest model bike I now have is pre 65.
IMO another mistake guys make us to stick with one brand because that's all they know. I started like that with Hondas but now I have seven different makes in my shed if I count my Puch mini bike and '98 yz/Wr 250.
