Kezzafish's illegal cross country race..

[Hemex]

whatever cunt.
if that's true then why did i just get a PM from Elton John saying that he'd play "candle in the wind" at our awards ceremony as long as "his boy" secondfield competed wearing nothin but a "purple helmet"?

Yeah Freddie 'Poo stabbing' Mercury just rolled in his grave too...

[secondfield]

hey' ive purple goggles motherfucker not me helmet.

And that wont be turning purple anytime soon ........

Im still at work, the mrs is at home ......

[kezzafish]

right....so...... now that we've all calmed down a bit. Where can i get some bunting? any suggestions on organising these type o things? i'm not gonna bother doing any timing. too difficult. that's why i figured it'd be easier to do a mass start?

[barty5]

Reckons I had one stashed inside the pages of the axe magazine.

So did you????

[kezzafish]

what does it matter? he meant to say "battle axe" magazine. "the quarterly editorial for the discerning chutney ferret"

Where can i get some bunting? any suggestions on organising these type o things?

Now there is a bad use of words givin your gay mag comments.

But if it the tape your after could try local hardware store bunning mitre10 placemakers as long as your not to bothered with what writern on it.

[secondfield]

Okay, so its now called the 'chutney ferret classic'




I proposed the staggered starts for a couple of reasons....

- Karipoti is a public access area. Two way traffic rules apply. If we have a mob of guy's bottlenecking,jockeying for position, passing, roosting each other with rocks in the hazardous area that is the gorge you mention, that will be dangerous. One side is a steep dropoff, and the track is about two meters wide for the majority of the run in.

- In the tight areas, mudbogs, rutted climbs, rock sections this gives the boys more time to assess the situation and choose lines. If it aint the right line and a re-attempt has to be made then again bottlnecking and frustration wont prevail. It will be more of an individual event, where the idea is to post the best time overall. Of course some guy's will catch up and pass, but it wont be a shitfight. You know the nature of the link track, a man needs room to manuver in some of those sections.

It would be a fairly simple task to start riders off at two minute intervals and record the start finish/timings. I guess this could be more of a traditional 'enduro' type event than a balls out cross country. There are some cranking fast sections though!

I guess the riders could even voluntarily be graded as to where they want to start off .. the 'a' graders or competition guy's released first, then progressing back to the weekend warriors and thrillseekers later on. Two minutes should be about the right amount of time to get the rider off to a good start, and ensure saftey.

Down here (Wellington) Aoetea would be a good choice to run an mx type starting lineup for a small x-country race. Its half MX track half hillclimbs..

What the hell is bunting?

[kezzafish]

bunting is that plastic tape stuff that they use to mark off a course. i was thinkin we'd ride through the gorge and bunt off all access to it. we'd only have to bunt it off for 5 mins while we did the run down the gorge and then use this little loop me and dave found because no one else will use it (it's totally overgrown) just have 3-4 people with radios to make sure the coast is clear for the dodgy bits and a max of 15-20 entrants. And as for the mass start danger......? this is the advantage of running an illegal race, people can't complain about something that never happened. i feel we need to start using our MX boots for what they were designed for.... Booting. so stay the fuck out my way fools

What the hell is safety?

[cheese]

Could be better to run the race in Gissy at the tarndale slip. Then everyone could meet half way LOL

[B0000M]

yea, but then id win cos i know all the shortcuts! lol,

id rather come 2nd

[kezzafish]

it runs at karapoti this race. but should anyone wish to run their own in their part of the country i recon you'd get some KB competitors from far afield. It could be a series. the KB illegal racing syndicate! oh shit... this is starting to sound like some homo boy racer fagnannagins. Can i get a blow off valve if i buy a 2stoke?

[secondfield]

Oh oh, wev'e just tainted our hard earned KB'er cred

All this talk of purple helmets, buntings, blow off's, fagnannagins, chutney ferrets and wanting things hard.



hey! my little posting light has gone red??

Re Gizzy - the Tarndale slip hillclimb would be the worlds most EXTREME hillclimb, you guy's gotta see that one.. even a section of erzberg would pale in comparison.

Id ride down it on a bmx bike attached to a bungy for a laugh tho ...

[theblacksmith]

How'd you know about that mag? I didn't even know it existed

Me Neither!

[theblacksmith]

Gah! I knew that ole schoolboy question would come up!

At the magazine shop on lampton quay the gay mags are right next to the guitar world and musician mags ... the hair rose up on the back of my neck when after visiting the place for 6 months reading electric guitar mags i realised i was standing in front of 'that' rack!

At first glance I thought it was the bodybuilders section ... ha!

My mate took the piss 'out' of me, when we went in there one day hahaha.
Reckons I had one stashed inside the pages of the axe magazine.

Long live slash

Just thought id 'straighten' that one up

cue music .... at the gay bar, gay bar

Apparently there s no demand for 'those' mags north of the Rimutakas.he he
