    Ha ha, whatever! My wrist is seriously not very good. At the moment I have weekly physio and a wrist brace.

    Good on you guys that raced!

    Yea that was a cool race, way easier than I thought it was going to be after reading dangers report from last year.. was just a bit harder than the 2man with some steeper hills. Thought I'd only have to do 3 laps but got the 4th in pretty buggered but think the 2man really helped my fitness unless I was just going way slower lol

    awsome day the start was choice and I managed to get through most of the group some how and a good line up that first hill then a guy looped out on the second one and landed on the front of my bike was pretty funny though.
    Thought somthing was wrong with my front end about halfway through the second lap was deflecting all over the show had a look after the third and turned out I also had a flat so got to spend some time spectating .
    Great track and dont feel any way near as tired/sore as I did after the two man. Was cool haveing that big downhill from the twoman again and had a few good battles with a guy on a yz125 .

    Dead Toad race report

    Was such an awesome ride.

    Had a pretty good start, was as far right as you could go. I had the fence next to me haha. Ended up flying up on the outside of everyone. There was a huge pileup on the left of the gate, I managed to scoot through on the right lol. Was in the top 30 riders I think, lucky. That hill climb was gnarly where everyone got stuck lol.

    First 2 laps were pretty good, was trying to pass people etc. Ended up coming behind Tony, followed him for a while then managed to roost him on one of the straights hahaha! 2nd half of the race was where it got gay, came off about 6 times due to the rear slipping out, havnt changed the tyre for 40 hours lol! and my boot nearly fell off!

    Had some awesome battles with a dude with red gear on a YZ125/250 and a guy on a YZF250/450, the whole race they wernt to far away. At this stage I had forgotten about Tony, with only about 3/4 of the lap to go. Feeling pretty knackered I wasnt really going for it. Came to about the last 500m and I heard a bike franticly revving behind me.. I thought it must have been Rory Mead doing his 10th lap or something haha, but turns out it was ktmboy!! He then blasted past me. Wasnt happy, then really put on the pace and was on his heels haha but he managed to beat me by about 2 seconds. You dog. Haha!

    Ended up winning the Clubman class which I was pretty stoked about, I thought clubman was the class inbetween expert and intermediate haha! My bad. I think I came 26th overall which im happy about, would have been the icing on the cake if I bet Tony! Until next time :P!

    Big ups to the WMCC crew, had a really great time, everything was run perfect!

    Would love to see some photos! There was a dude with a parked up bike taking some shots.

    Sorry about my life story!

    Good effort mate, there were a lot of quick riders there today, and a lot of shiney roots waiting to flick the front wheel out from under you. good result, you must be happy.

    Got an absolutely shit start. 3 kicks to go. Damn.

    There was one guy on a yamaha about 2k into the race and he exited stage right big time. The gully was freakin huge.
    I think Vazza learn't a couple of tricks today. Being the suberb athlete than I am, "not" I had a serious case of cramps for a few laps. Chop told me that Vazza was ahead with two laps to go so decided to HTFU and go Vazza hunting. My last lap was my quickest as the cramps had disappated slightly.

    Was funny as with only about 2-3 k to go I saw Vazza and managed to catch him. Getting past was easy, I just asked him to move out of the road and he did. God bless, some riders do have manners LOL.

    Thanks Vin. I'll take that till next time.

    That dude on the YZ125 was funny. He pitted every lap then was at your back door reving the shit out his bike 20 minutes later.

    Bodies in no pain yet. That will come later.

    Congrates to all involved and especially Vazza. You're going good.

    What a race, I was way back at the start but squeezed past a few at the gate the passed a heap on the two hills - both hills I rode up the right side off the track and made it, then things didn't go so great, lost 6 places when could not start the bike after stalling on a downhill ( the one with a heap of drops off roots ), in the end did 4 laps and was well back in the field, slowed all the way to end.
    Major ups to the wmcc was a great event.
    Oh it was easier than last year and please no more encourgement for birchy to do another "easy" course like last year, I liked how tricky it was this year, the clear fell was heaps easier in the last loop, but tricky enough first time around.
