Crickets  :o :o :o :o :o

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm bloody excited CD 10 is coming and I can't wait.  I'm amazed by the lack of excitement or even comment on here.  I wonder what's going on  ???

Previous CD's had people rabitting on for page after page about how cool it is.

Just an observation.  Any theories anybody ?

I personally am going to hype it up as much as I can.  I tell every old dirt biker that will listen that if they haven't been before they've GOT to go.  I've only missed one since CD5 where I met a lot of people that I still call my friends today.

Come on people.  Channel your inner Big Kev and get excited  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)


I paid-up last year, wife & I booked holidays and it was cancelled with a poor explanation, I'll not commit again, plus Qld has a large number of riders & events (I'm jealous), I'm happy if they continue to run events up there, just call it the QCD1 or the Queensland Post Classic Champs  ;-)

He, you only get out what you put in, it's not our fault we have lots of hard working people and awesome tracks......are you coming to the Echo Valley Nats?.....those A5's will love the track and I have just finished one for a young fella who should go quite well.

Make sure you bring "Fully Loaded Man"  AKA DJ.  We will need a mobile beer repository  ;D

The sense of comaraderie you speak of is what got me hooked on VMX.  Meeting all you guys was one of the best times of my life.  At the time of CD5 I hadn't ridden a dirt bike for 20 years and I had a shit box YZ250 project in a million peices.  I'll always remember meeting Ted the grumpy old bastard and being inspired by his 465.  That's not to mention the rest of the crazy blokes on here.  Now I have 13 bikes (in various states of repair) and have ridden races (really, really badly).  It's all about the fun and the CDs are 3 days chock full.

I think this thread might be easily overlooked being stuck at the top of the page!

It does appear that the planets are aligning... "Mars, Earth and the Sun today aligned in a rare ‘opposition of the planets’ that only happens once every 778 days."
If I make it up there this year then maybe CD could be held every 778 days :o

I suspect many (like me) aren't sure if we can make the pilgrimage so aren't talking it up in case we don't make the trek and end up accused of being cyber wankers.

After reading previous recriminations and accusations over previous failed events I would have to agree with you Geoff.  Many are likely to be a bit conservative.

Having said that though .... I'm going for sure :)
