Don't let those King boys hear you talk like that...

Is it way too small? A bit of work with the heat gun or hot water could soften it enough to fit if it's close. Maybe some rubber friendly grease as well.

The only thing about Bopping's jump was he did it a second time and landing well down the "down ramp"

Holly Crap indeed Mr NR555  :o :o

Noel, is that track still on for the meeting in two weeks time?

It was a real credit to all who set it up. Was a great event and Mr Townley did not disappoint.

At the old Full Bore MX park, there was a crappy approach to this downhill double (or two singles for most of us), followed by a little kicker jump about 20m further down. Immediately after the kicker, there was a dip and a left hander.
Tricky bit of track without much flow to it - even the good riders looked pretty gumby there.

Bopping was taking it as a triple, lap after lap.

It was about then, that I realised how big the gap is, between the fast club racers and the pros...

Looks like a fair bit of work on the approach ramp so now all the sidecars can clear it :D :D :D

I think commitment and self belief are what's reqd.
