The track was riding really smooth and there wasn't any wind. 3rd straight looked really technical with the last few jumps being really deep. In practice most people was mainly focusing on the 3rd straight with only a few getting it smooth (not me). the 1st part of it was fine for me. it was only when it got deep was wen i started to struggle and it was hard trying to remember what your supposed to do.<br /><br />i decided to race 17+ but in the end they mixed superclass, masterclass and 17+ together so we had a good amount of riders to race with. motos didnt go to well. i got 6-1-3 so i was having a bit of an on off day. still wasnt getting the 3rd straight right but neither was anyone else lol so i guess it took abit of pressure off.<br /><br />Semi finals was quite hard. Had Lee Baker, Brad watts, Jake cheetham, and a few more good riders but i cannot remember their names. i had a decent gate and came out in 2nd and tucked in behind lee and just followed him around the track making sure i didnt do any stupid stuff. Had a quick look behind me on 2nd berm and we had about 3-4 bike lengths on the rest so i knew i didnt have to push hard down the 3rd straight. Brad didnt make it through. he looked pretty pissed. think he hit the gate and couldnt recover it.<br /><br />I had gate 8 in the finals (stupid random computer) think they should let the riders pick like the do at nationals. but anyways i wasn't in the best of moods because of the stupid locals and i was in gate 8 so i didnt really know what was going to happen. Johhny hastings, dan whyte, dan clifford, josh cheetham, a fast supercross guy, shaun andrews were in the finals so it was quite hard. i just didnt want to come last.<br />I had a pretty good gate and moved over in front of johnny. i then moved over again over the speed hump and got infront of someone else and moved over again over the step up and then the triples so i was in 3rd behind lee and dan. i knew i had to stick with them to because the guys behind were fast and could pimp me at any moment. i took a quick glance behind me on the 2nd berm and i had a couple of bike lengths infront of the guy behind me. lee had a bad 3rd straight which allowed dan to go past him and i nearly snuck through as well but i flopped going through the deep section so i just chillaxed down the last straight so we got a south london 1,2,3 woo.<br /><br />i should be getting my new wheels this week so i should beable to build up my 08 redline soon.<br />Started again at college for one more month which sucks because i got less time to ride the track now. but i'm start gym again at crystal palace today with keith so im looking forward to getting some good training before the hayes interregional on sunday.<br />l8az<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793076395169722329-6400376541803356494?l=fasybmx.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fasyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02557344593560919012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793076395169722329.post-67987815428250282182008-06-11T14:30:00.000-07:002008-06-11T15:12:41.352-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7MrCzwv_KTQ/SFBMguO7TRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/NlHsuQroxDM/s1600-h/DSC00371.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7MrCzwv_KTQ/SFBMguO7TRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/NlHsuQroxDM/s320/DSC00371.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210748893917826322" /></a><br />Hi to all. <div>well i've seen alot of people creating this blogspot i.e wan and alans bmx so i thought i'd give it </div><div>ago and try one for myself. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Well i've just recovered from breaking my humerous at the 1st round of the nationals at burnham. I'd been training hard over the winter with Dan and CK and in practice it showed only to crash in the 1st moto. </div><div>But i started riding my bike about 2 weeks ago. I decided to do the regional at brixton and just roll round but being a bmx racer i cant roll round and at the end of the day came out with a win in the junior men class. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Last weekend was my round 6 at chesterfield.  I was kind of nervous because i didn't no where i was compared with everyone else. Saturday practice went really good and my 1st straight was really good and i was snapping out most of the guys. I may may of practiced a bit to long because by then end i could hardly gate but i'll be working on my fitness. Sunday morning i was abit stiff. I had bradley in my 1st moto which was abit daunting as he was the guy who i crashed with in my 1st moto at burnham. We had a good laugh in the pens. Dan told me not to do any stupid moves and just take it easy and the main thing was to make through the motos into the finals. i won the 1st moto so that put me in a good mood. 2nd moto i had dan thorne luke tamblyn and levi ashley and we was all lined next to each other on the gate. i knew this was going to be a hard moto as they were 1,2,3 in the points s</div><div>eries. I had a decent gate and came 3rd behind luke and dan. levi hit the gate which he had been doing a lot but atleast i didnt have to worry about him lol. came 2nd in my 3rd moto so i had 2nd pic in the semi finals. </div><div>i get more nervous in semifinals than in the actual finals. I had quite a hard semi with levi, jake, adam, alex, tippy, arron and darren. i got a decent gate and there was 4 of us all equal going</div><div> down the 1st straight. some bar bashing so held back abit and settled for 3rd so i made it through to the main. woooooooooooooo. levi had a crash on the 1st berm with deaks and hurt his finger :(. </div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7MrCzwv_KTQ/SFBNZuO7TSI/AAAAAAAAAAY/4hYmVFLJdcA/s320/DSC_3520.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210749873170369826" /><div>in the final had gate 6. got a terrible gate but pulled it back on</div><div> my 2nd 3rd pedal and was joint 3rd with brad going into the 1st berm. i went very wide and came out in about 6th or 7th position but managed to jump the dubs so got back to 5th. 2nd berm adam was on the outside and i was carrying alot more speed than him and i made a move on the inside but he never saw me and came across and i went straight into the side of him and crashed only to have arron curry who was behind me ride straight into my head lol. i was scared i would hurt my arm but only got a few scrapes and bruises. so i got 8th in the end but overall i felt good considering i have done no training at all since breaking my arm. </div><div>I'm off to peterbourgh this weekend to race the east anglian regional with dan whyte so im going to check out the new track there and pick up my new wheels. </div><div>I also got my new 08 redline frame from my sponsors  shanazereade.com so was really happy. </div><div>im off for some pro sleep so catch you guys soon</div><div><br /></div><div>laters</div><div>fasy</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793076395169722329-6798781542825028218?l=fasybmx.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fasyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02557344593560919012noreply@blogger.com0
