Cheers ladies and gents, what a fine day out it was and the result was a lot of happy faces, a very happy farmer and a few quid in the bank for flight sgt Sussex to keep our green lanes open.
Farmer Crigg was more than happy with us and is happy top talk to Hoops next year
Hoops will be well hacked of he missed the BSB babes who called in to give the riders a free post ride massage.
And dont tell him about Team Yammy UK popping over to give all the WR riders a free factory tune and upgrade.
Yeh a massive thanks to all the organisers, helpers and the landowners!
Had a absoutley awesome day, bike worked flawlessly and the track really got better as the day went on Deffo gained some more confidence in my own abilties and the bike.
I must say i think i prefered the reverse loop with uphill snarly bit I will look forward to some more pics
Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation of a cracking day and the landowner for letting us use his excellent track. Nice to get some air under the wheels from time to time! Sadly for me a sheared front brake bolt sent the XR home for an early bath........but I thoroughly enjoyed the many laps it carried me round prior to this. 'Er indoors not quite so happy with the hole in the shoulder of my (brand new yesterday afternoon) Alpinestars shirt, but hey ho, if you don't fall off you're not trying hard enough I reckon!
Yep once again another great TRF event, thanks goes out to a lot of people for this one, cheers to everyone who gave up their time to help even people like pearcy who helped set up the track the day before but was unable to ride due to unknown forces during the night who cricked his neck - bad luck mate!
Thanks to the guys who joined me in riding up through some awesome local lanes on route fun in the sun
Looks like L'Orange has stolen someones coke and the real owner has found out, ready to step in with a round house flying kick.....whaaaa....!
And how about Brownie,,,,getting some air time there mate, not bad for a big fella, mind you, judging by your Avatar you are now stealth like!!!! (IM GONA GET A KICKIN SOON AINT I??

i was a bit unsure wether to have a go at this event as i have never done anything like it before and was worried about holding everyone up etc etc, but i am so glad i did, even if it was in my slippers, i decided, after a mishap with my boots to go round but take it gentle,( i forgot at times)

Hi every body what a great day, this is just a few of the photo`s that I took yesterday. I have pictures of most of you, a lot of you in the air. I will try to post a link to the pictures, but all this computer stuff is very new to me.
Yes there was a mystery snapper, but being an old school pro he only uses film, so you will have to wait!!
I'm far to young to remember this film stuff, so i took it all out of the little roll to have a look, it dont look like much and i cant see any pictures, stupid idea I reckon

But there was a chap snapping away as I lept at least 10 ft high and 40 ft along......well thats what I told the wife, kids and mates at work
So come on who were the mystery piccy takers and where's the pics?
The other chap was Paul Farrows dad.
When he has the pics developed (remember that? ) he's getting a copy on disc.
Paul's having problems with his computer at the moment but between us we'll get the pics on here., we'll have to be patient but i'm sure it'll be worth it.
