    I was on mothers day duties, once the hangover wore off. Sounded like a pretty cool day out. Two friends, ironically both parked next to each other, broke bones in their feet (or suspected once the swelling goes down).

    The thing that gets me is the number of Senior B and junior A riders who jump into the senior C races, they get twice the race time, by being able to race there class race, and then jump into the senior C races, they are so much faster than most, and are lapping a few of us, we are being robbed of a lap.

    I don't mind being lapped 100 meters before the finish line, but half the track sucks, Its all about fun I thought, there is a good group of riders that i can have a good battle with, then some guy goes passed us like we are parked up doh.

    my maths aint that great but,

    4 laps @ 1.5 km a lap = 6 km per race, = 24 km for the days racing

    me at 3 laps 4.5 km for a total of 18km for the days racing. @ $30 for the day, think Id be better to go on a trail ride.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    I hear ya there, I raced at Fells the other week, I really am a novice rider, will always be slow poke but enjoy riding. The all in Novice was a joke, there were guys racing the open class then coming and lining up next to me. The honest classes are always going to be a nightmare to police. The only way around would be for the organisers to collar the first X number across the line and tell them to go up a class.

    At the end of the day it's all about fun but for value you can't beat a trail ride!

    Thanks Scott, I hate the editing, takes ages and I still don't know what I'm doing.
    I was thinking of asking you or another senior A rider, if they wouldn't mind wearing the a GoPro for one race,
    Just to get some descent riding footage.

    I was talking to that guy on the KTM, who looped it, I asked him why he wasn't riding he told me he flipped it trying to pass me,
    didn't realize I had it in video, not sure what happened with the other rider. just lost it in the berm.

    Nice footage there. You're passing a lot of people on that vid through consistancy though. Something I need to work on a lot.
    Smoke 'em if you have 'em

    You run what you brung, and pray you brought enough
