Ok, so here is my first ever youtube video.

Bucket racing - A grade passing B graders at Kaitoke

This camera rocks. The picture quality in HD is awesome, and it looked amazing playing straight onto our LCD TV.

Andrew, make sure you watch it until the end

That's stunning footage, makes me sympathetic towards the B graders having us A's come past at silly speeds. Andrew you're a maniac.

[Trudes]

Even the bright yellow "noob" vest doesn't make you less of a target it seems! The poor guy was sitting just in front of me when he got a little distracted by maniacs hurtling past at some point, forgot to corner at the end of the straight and ended up going straight instead of cornering, luckily there were some bails to ride into and he managed to stay on and rejoin the race, big ups to him for that! Talk about throwing him in at the deep end, still, he seemed to enjoy his day at least.

Bloody hell Andrew........ That corner is a quick one to lose control on!!! Risky bastard haha

I could not stop laughing all morning it still brings a smile to dail as I am writing this. You are mental plus plus. Now I am thinking how do I block that line. This season is shaping up nice. Already had the best 2 crashes in ages, and now the best pass. What next? Bring on Easter.

[hmurphy]

Yeah Easter..... I have 2 new forks already but I need to straighten them haha. They were cheap because they are bent but are stock FXR forks. One is reasonably well creased, the other has no creases. Will be interesting. Once I get that sorted, I'm going to try that passing move that Andrew showed off haha

[Bsym1]

Just a quick one to say cheers to Fish and Andrew and the other lads who have jumped in to give me a hand getting the Loncin back to racing, will be away for Easter but back for the April round. Just need to get fast enough to catch the A grade boys.

[NOID]

im pritty upset i missed this, my bikes not running well after taupo last week and i ran out of time to fix it. the video is great. Yea Fish is a Loncin Expert . . good luck trying to catch him on the track tho. .

The sooner we get back to A and B split races the better.
It's not fun having bikes passing at considerably faster speeds like that, makes it difficult to ride your own ride.

It's a Gopro HD.

Yea I do feel for him and the rest of the B grade riders having to put up with us loopy bastard's that ride to fast but thats the breaks at the mo we need at lest 6 in each class before the kart guys will let us split into two groups. I for one try and give you guys some space and other times maybe not enough

[hmurphy]

Perhaps introduce a casual rule that A graders are not to use the lap traffic as an opportunity to pass the guy in front? That way whoever is 1st in the race and meets the lap traffic wont have to worry about passing as fast as they can to keep their spot and so on. However this won't work for people who are trying to make up as much ground as possible to catch the front group, but it might make it a bit safer and more fun for the B graders and also reduce the closeness or risk taking of A graders around B graders. In other words, the first one through the lap traffic can take their time because they aren't allowed to get passed. I understand this might only work in a couple situations but it might be better than nothing? Also allows for anyone who gets slowed up by lap traffic to catch up. - OPEN TO CRITICISM ON THIS!!!
