nigel dabster Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Was Alexz and ross on 125's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Was Alexz and ross on 125's? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm afraid I don't have that information. I am fairly sure Ross was riding a 125. I personaly didn't see Alexz ride a section as I was trying to keep moving myself. It was very muddy all around the 15 sections, I know of at least three bikes that suffered engine failures. I JUST managed to get to the top of the graded hill climb each lap, only by sitting on my rear mudguard and revving in 4th gear with both feet pushing. The Observer at this section told me that both Ross and Alexz rode up the hill so fast they jumped out of the ends cards and had time to showboat before landing! Ohh goodness, how do they do that?

city trials Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Any chance then we could get a few photos of these lads competing in this event? No one captured shots of the 4th gear, hot dog hillclimb exits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpa3 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Three years ago at the Varden, we cleared out the branches at the top end of the concrete filter beds to make a new exit for the experts. The resulting 6ft wall made everyone stop gather around and look for some time before the top lads had a go. I was very worried that we'd gone one 'step' too far with this. In this weeks event the A route riders just walked the section, the wall and the corresponding drop back in didn't event warrant a pause, they were more concerned at not loosing a dab in the mud at the top! The riding ability we are now seeing is extremely high for a Centre event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross is definitely good, however that kid has some growing up to do. I was walking in the pits at the US world round and he tried to roost me. It didn't hit me cause of his obviously underpowered gas gas. Being a good rider is great, but if he's gonna try to act like a badass maybe he should grow up a little.
