Here's an opportunity to get your young fella/lass in on the ground floor and ride the elevator, or take your old MX/trail bike out and go let of a helmet full of steam!

Billy Frank NZ#1 in the 125 juniors has offered up his personal track in Levin for the use of all comers !

Built and improved/changed by Billy and his dad over the last 5 years to include every technical difficulty to take him to where he is now !

Won't go into the names of the jumps you have a choice of (have no idea as ya won't see me try any of them)

Drop offs i won't walk down for fear of losing my footing.

Must be a choice of .5 km (for the younguns) to 1.8 km (for the old school) of track ! Hell i won't go on as i aint measured it, I've walked it, even jumped in on me old Harley to do a portion of the track one day when i arrived unannounced, now that had a young fella crackin up ! (oh ok I know i do go on)

$10 a ride and all funds go towards 888 racing and his campaign to grab a #1 plate at the OZ Nationals come the end of sept this year, plus an ongoing defense of his national title next year and hell, the year after !

Now i know at the moment he's near full time with school, training and attending Ben Townley training camps, but also know he will soon (hell he's on the track every minute between sleep and what was mentioned above) be in a position to teach his peers and junior peers what he has learnt !




Here's a link to another thread ! http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/150659-Any-air-points-to-share?p=1130342520#post1130342520

PS : here's one from me, any intro road racing sponsors out there ? Come talk to Billy about riding a sealed track, with them balls this kid needs to have a crack at it, 14 now !

I've ate it so many times at that track, including a pile driver over the tabletop.
