Not strictly vmx but classic all the same. Just got back from the international challenge at the Island. Nothing quite like seeing guys like Cam Donald, John Guinness, Shawn Giles, Lapping the circuit in the 1:38s on classic bikes! Great day out..

Just back myself a awesome racing at a awesome event looked like there was about 5000 spectators there, cars lined the tracknearly all the way round. Robbie Phillis had a big off and totalled a brand new bike  :'( All the Challenge races were crackers

I'd love to have a crack on a 500 or 750 2-stroke.
