Damo, if you send me a sample of the data I'll sort it out.

Can we just merge the two threads from rides and races and leave the track one separate.
The reason for this being the additional exposure that rides and races get over the track forum. -
Paralympic silver medallist Karen Darke hurt in crash
Inverness-based Paralympic cyclist Karen Darke is recovering in hospital after a crash in Cumbria.
Darke, who won silver in the women's H1-2 time trial at London 2012, was on a training run near Penrith last Tuesday when she was hit by a car.
It was understood that her low-slung hand-cycle was hit from behind and the car went over one side of her machine.
Darke is receiving treatment to arm, neck and shoulder injuries at Cumberland Infirmary.
The driver, a 57-year-old man from Penrith, was not injured in the collision near Clifton Dykes.
Cumbria Police is investigating the incident.
Born in Halifax, 41-year-old Darke has based herself in the Highlands for a number of years.
She was paralysed from the chest down in a climbing accident when she was 21.

How would I go about adding something to the events section?

You really should re-wrap that on account of it being hideous. Your lever moved south in an attempt to commit suicide.

Great feeling edit. That'll stand up to a couple of watches at least.
In other news, I had a "Not meant to be riding but have to meet someone at the skatepark" session yesterday, Started working on pedal stalls and slides for the first time. Seriously addictive.

Zeal should be getting the guards in later this month so I'll order that and a couple of DVDs from them, we can sort out me getting it to you when I've got them in my grubby mitts.
-
And as if by magic this just appeared on Bikeguide:
I've just dropped an email to see when Zeal are likely to be getting their delivery, if it's not until later this year I'll be ordering direct. I'll happily put an extra DVD for you on the order.
-
I'm planning on picking up the DG DSG, if you want me to throw a copy of the DVD on my order just let me know.

The line at 1.17 and everything from 2.42 onwards in this is incredible (probably not to your taste though chris)

I've got part way through that book a couple of times. It is currently sat on a shelf taunting me.

Pretty much what I was expecting you to say, for the record I agree. Main may have a hell of a bag of tricks but there's no style to his riding.

TCU is 99% 4 peg street edits, which as you don't like that style of riding, would explain why you think they're dire.
I was having a conversation with an older (40+) rider I know recently and he was begrudging "slow" technical street riding. He's admittedly a very opinionated individual but his view boiled down to what people do on bike when they're kids, i.e. go fast and jump as high/far as possible. He thinks it's crazy that so many people who currently ride BMX are rarely ever more than a couple of feet off the floor. With the proliferation of 4 peg street riding, propagated by the more fashionable companies and TCU, he's probably got a point.
All that said, BMX is meant to be a freestyle activity so even though many people will be heavily influenced by trends or their favourite riders and that may not be his bag, I can't help but think that his complaining whether something is or isn't BMX is ill thought out on his part.
