Hi All,
This will be my first visit to the ardmore track. I was hoping to get some practise in for the Maize Paddock MX.
If there are any KBr's around please stop by and say hi as i am fairly new to the whole thing. Will be riding a KX250F with #747.

Hey Clmintie, were you the crazy guy whipping off snaps all over the track? Thats awesome that the common rider gets some cool photos. Unless you have a keen missus or some mates that don't ride, its hard to get any good photo's of yourself riding.
Speaking of which, any shots of these bikes/riders: kxf450 #32, crf450r #271, rmz250 #193?

clmintie
22nd April 2009, 21:48
Here are some from tonight, I'm knackered so will retire early... Will sort some more tomorrow.....

Dellorto, I took 300 pix and not one of you..... I thought I had everyone covered, next time.... Also, you stand a better chance of getting photographed if you have a number......

Nice to meet you Blackbird, here's a couple of you.....

nice stuff mintie. So you're right into the flash photog now? always been my fav. Had a D70 and a Sb600 flash but sold it to fund my bike lol. What flash ya got? pricey? good?

clmintie
23rd April 2009, 23:47
Cheers keezafish... I've got a canon Speedlite 430EX11. I use flash most of the time as fill in, but it's pretty dark now (after 4pm'ish) at Ardmore, so it's the only way to get a reasonable shutter speed...

After such a good showing in the wildman today, I've entered Grace in the School champs, she made me.....

have you been before climinte?? are the novices "novices" or are they still realy fast and good?

i didnt know you could still enter...... i sent my form in about 2 month ago

clmintie
3rd May 2009, 20:51
All the novice classes filled up quickly, But there are a few spots left in the 10 to 13yr 85's.

I've not been before, John asked me to enter Grace, he must think she's quick enough..... (glows with pride.....)

I would hope novice means NOVICE, some of these kids have been riding half their lives......

Today there was a big turn out in jr 85 (maybe 55'ish) and Grace was getting good starts, then fading back to mid pack by race end. Her grin only just fits inside her helmet.. :ride:

What number will you be running?

DELLORTO
3rd May 2009, 20:56
888 the devils second number.....:whistle:
