The red line is the shortest line around and if you think about it the flattest route.

The black line is the guide line, you can stay on this line but you cannot go faster than say about 20mph simply because you cannot lean in as much to stop yourself flying off towards the blue line/edge.

It is hard to stay on the red line, but after you get your head around it. It becomes a lot easier. It just takes others more to get there head around!

That was what the whole event boiled down to.

Chris has a background in motor bike trials riding, which gives him a great advantage when it comes to adapting to the scenario, (whatever that may be) quicker than most.

I had been around that track so many times, he gets on it 1st time and gets just as fast a lap as what my average would be. If he had more practice I don't think anyone could beat him on that track, up a hill or doing trials on a fixed gear bike.

Haha, giving track advice to a seasoned track rider. The funny thing is that Stelle would smoke nealy everyone in that room on a full sized track (probably including Chris, although I am not doughting his ability).

Regarding the hill climbing, you have obiosly not seen Bringmemyfix go up a hill. One of the things I have noticed with FGL and fixed mag is that it seems to miss a lot of really talented riders mainly because they are not part of the trick seen. Its fine as that is what the two are geared towards.

That dog is awesome!

I am planning on owning a 4x4 within a week or so though.....

Right. My flight is booked and I am off on the 23rd of February to the land of the long white cloud. Watch this space for a leaving party!

So, who is going to sort stuff out in my absence? (not that I really sort anything out)

Frome

Oh year. There is a similar one in Bristol. Shame that it is pretty much invite only though.

Was that the one in Bristol?

Oh, and also Owenhalfavagreed on Saturday waiting to cross holloway road. I gave you the finger. Cock.

To be fair, I think Chris Akrigg would be pretty damn quick round a proper track too, hes just an extremely skilled rider no matter what the discipline.

There is skill on a bike and having the legs. They are different things. Some riders have both. I do think that this track was more set up for trick riders that proper track riders though. Thats not a critisisum. It was really fun to ride.

Sparky from Manchester? On City Road late Friday night. Said 'do a skid' then reolized I had met you and said hello. I was on foot.

I seemed that the faster ridders also went a bit higher in the banking and sprinted the streights. I tried to keep it a little smoother and stuck the red line. I wanst anywhere near as fast. It was a little like riding a bowl on a BMX. Fair play, they may have been a little sketchier but they really had the smeed.

wow chris akrigg not only one of the best fixed trick riders out there but also quick around a track

good man !

Round a small track. This was not a velodrome for track riders. It was for trick riders.

It was bloddy good fun though. I wish I had more time on the track.

On at 4. It looks fun.

If I can get some alcohol I would be up for a ride. If not then probably not,

Blackpool?

He is maybe a top 13 player.

Not me.

Cliveo isnt a Liverpool fan. He is much worse....

I think chuckle brother number one has been good for you lot. He was awefull before. We dont really need him. I dont see the point of that signing.

Not sure about the Torres coment. He is am awesome stricker but he is surrounded by shit players. As soon as he leaves he will start banging them in again.

I chap on a blue lopro and white sunglasses trackstanding at the junction of Marilabon Road and Edgeware road.

Is having a vagina as your avatar acceptable even if it is only half a vagina?

Reed already got tobacco and chocolate from Berlin but I'll bring him another one.

And yes, hire cars are made for thrashing. We'll do handbrake turns until the police arrive.

They cant touch you, you are leagaly required to do handbreke turns in any hire car. Did you know, it is also leagal to speed in a hire car. But only if you are on the rev limiter. If not, your not trying hard enough.

J, after I qualify first you are riding the finals for me. 1 lung=lighter=quicker. What could go wrong?

There is only one name being mentioned. A few people have said it now on a few ocations. That name is......

To me (as someone who works in architecture) this looks good. HH reolize that they need the comunity to get involved. A cafe and family cycle path is a great idea. For what is a suberbaban area I could really see families teaching there children to ride here. Then going for a tea and cake. HH will suffer somewhat when the new velodrome opens because as much as people like HH the pringle offers a fantastic track with exelent facilities. That will be hard to pass up.

The fact that a big name architect has put a sustainable scheme togeather and is backing HH will add weight to the aplication and go a long way to saving it.
