[Gerard De Ruyter (Twistandshout)]

talking about ambos, anyone know how the bloke who was carted away from the track late saturday (or was i early sunday?) ended up?  he crashed up on the top muddy section.

i remember that one as i was down at the entrance to the track waiting patiently to take one of them lovely little new rm125s out.  the funny bit about this was, i was waiting there with three other patient guys aboard the new suzis, and a heap of guys on their own bikes behind us.  waiting, waiting.  and you know how guys get when they're waiting for their (free) blast round a track....  when they finally stretchered the guy away and gave us the all clear, well, we just prodded and wfo'd didn't we.  the guy next to me was on the 450, and he of course wfo'd faster than me.  and over that first jump in like third.  on the right hand side.  meaning his wheels stuck fast in that shit mud on landing.  so i watched him sail over the front end and head first into the crap.  and then the bike follow over him.  into the mud.  (no way i was gonna stop tho, not with the thousand following on my heels).

i bumped into the guy the next day.  he said he had tyre mark brusing all up his back and his shoulder felt up the shit.  didn't get his name.  wonder if he's ok too???

Back in NZ after an extended CD5 trip and what a trip 

Would have to say CD5 was one of the most social VMX events iv'e been to and also got a shit load of riding in to 

I would like to thank everyone who made our trip so easy and so much fun 

Jeff , AJ & Ken what an event, apparantly there was some rain pre event but i cant say i noticed 
Raymond terrace was i believe an ideal venue while not as open as Broadford or Barrabol it has a lot of character and the track lends itself well to VMX bikes.
Meeting Joel was definetly a highlight , the guy is so genuine and unassuming and had some great stories to share.
The Saturday night party was awsome  AJ i hope your band will be at CD6 as it took the event to a new level

DJ & karen thanks for making this trip all the more memorable, Dj i take my hat off to yer  you had an idea with the Nogouchi and saw it through all the way to CD5 RESPECT, Karen without you i think DJ and me would still be being interviewed at Brisbane airport, thanks for your tollerence and sense of humour. DJ seriously owes you a Melbourne shopping trip next

Doc & Dodgee again you guys really went out of your way to help us Kiwis i cant thankyou guys enough for all you done for us this trip and on my previous visits . I hope that one day you will come and experience VMX kiwi style and that i am able to return some of the awsome hospitality you guys have shown me 

Brad  you and your family opened your home to us, and then subjected yourself to a 20 Hr round trip in your truck with me (more than any human being should be asked to do  ) Seriously though thanks mate for all your help. The trip to the museum topped off a great classic dirt ,  however i do believe your collection rivals the dirt section of the museum.
There is a bike here for you to ride whenever you can make it

Firko a great effort by you and the Kevlar team thanks for the BBQ and beers , still cant believe you didn't know about Jonseys Hagon pre event Let me know when Mike is taking you to the Mermaid bar so i can get a leave pass 
Vale promises to christan the Hindal Ducati for you upon completion

Magoo i had heard the stories and the myth became the man , loved that shirt mate 

Nathan , Lozza, Noel, Stu and Walter thanks for the rides, Noels CR and Nathans YZs were cool , Oldfarts DRM very nice, Walters outfit Exhillerating and lozzas Beast just plain scared the shit out of me       Again bikes here for you guys if your keen  (Walter would probably need a bit of notice to source an outfit  )

Tony and Wombat great to meet you guys , I didn't know Scallops were on a Wombats Diet  Tony sorry i didn't get to call in , it was very late when i came through Inisfall hope to catch up at connondale.

It was great to meet so many of you and to put faces to names , hoping to get to Connondale and catch up with some of you there.

Already counting down the days to CD6 

Remember always a Bike a bed and a van for any of you wanting to try VMX kiwi style just PM me cheers Bill.

I would be interested also. I helped push his bike away. It had locked up wheels front and rear. I think the front locked and bought him down (I didn't see the get off) because the brake fluid didn't bleed back and pressure built up. The rear was locked because of the chain derailed, probably caused by the accident.

Was is a KTM250?

[mx250]

Was is a KTM250?

Narh, a '80's Honda of one type or another  . I was concentrating on pushing and shoving, and 'why arn't the wheels turning'. You know what Honda's are like; their like pussy, every second person got one and seen one you've seen the lot  .

[STW996]

Come on MX250 you know you are a closet Honda lover and I think it is around 55% of the nation have pussy so majority rules!!!

Heres a little shot of the team Wiltec pit to really get you going

Watch out Bill,
One Ajay is plenty. Two would be just asking for trouble!!!!

TM Bill, so shopping in Melbourne is it, better look up the dates for a VMX meeting at Barrabool , but first I know Karen wants to go to Australia Zoo......isnt there a meeting close by.........I have told her the best time to see the crocs is the weekend of 9/10 August....she likes the idea.....Connondale here I come  

[All Things 414]

Victorian Classic Motocross June 29th for Barrabool or Aug 24th for Ravenswood DJ. Both fantastic tracks and you'd see a real depth of machines at either. There's probably ship loads of 'roos for Karen (do you have 'roos in NZ!?) no crocs. 

[BJJ]

Nice to read the debrief from TM Bill.  committed.  Maybe I can catch you next time mate.  My only NZ claim to fame would be racing with Cocky Meadows in 70'S.  I am only on the internet and the ocassional NSW VMX meet.  Half the guys, Nthan, Lozza , Noels, I know,  but there is a multitude more to meet.  Email me if you need any help.  Unrelated,  but at my work yesterday  http://cid-e94d76226545983d.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public/xbox

I bumped into this little reminder whilst trolling VMX web sites.
It isn't from CD5 but it could have been.
I thought of our recent CD the moment I saw it! In fact, since the event I think of CD5 whenever I see mud...
I think it's from the USA, but mud looks like mud regardless of the location - and it looks coolest when basting a VMX machine!
