Don't know, but I'm pretty sure some of the UK-based organisers will publish the data at some point. Perhaps Andy will be able to get his hands on it?

Me, just happy not to go over the edge.

Almost, a Scottish rider in London for City of Edinburgh RC. I think the damage is terminal. Also, not sure i could ever really race 100% on it again knowing, even if it was fixed in some way.
I was surprised how easy the track was to ride so I thought I must not have been going fast enough and kept upping it until I discovered it's not so easy...
It's not a bad design IMO, but not perfect, all the fastest guys were running out close to the edge on the straights or off the edge in my case.
I think the stay impacted with the edge of the track. Photos of the damage below \/ :-)

If anyone has any videos/photos it would be nice to have something to laugh at in return for a £450 frame write off

Ouch, Ouch, ouch and ouch.

Quality event! Cheers to everyone involved in making it happen. I've done a little write up of my day with a few pics and a vid here if you fancy a peep.

Nice little story there, and congrats on doing so well.

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.

^ copy that. It became pretty obvious that anyone who rode on the tops of their bars or with risers faired much better. Going down on the drops was just too cramped in the corners, even if it was keeping it 'real'.

dare we ask what soulless, corporate shitepeddlars are appropriating the latest yoof fad in a desperately misguided attempt to appear cool and down wif da kids, all be they about 5 years late?

i hear they like 'raps' too.

I can assure you there's no bandwagon jumping going on here. Anyhow, I hear that Dubstep is the new thing ;-)

PS Dovvles, Cheers for the link

Yeah sorry, my bad. I think the weekend Red Bull had got to my head. I meant as in trick riders. Whoops...

The ad agency where I work is looking for video footage of people riding, specifically, around the City, if possible doing tricks. Can anyone help? I've already UTFS but no good, so if anyone can help, that'd be cool. Cheers guys.

Great fun, even if I did slam hard and fuck the axle on my spinergy.
Dont worry, photoben will be along shortly to post up the video

Was standing just where you crashed, at least it was just the axle that went and not the wheel itself. Was a gnarly crash, glad you were OK.

Oh yeah, and my dynamo looked awesome in the video. Glad I left it on.

I wondered who that was. It did look pretty special :-)

It's very busy already, good vibes. Didn't qualify but still good fun. The pursuits will be mad.

Oops

So how many from here are entered? What's your qual time?

Finger Jockey: 3.00pm

Hopefully it's only a matter of time. I know some of the current GPS trackers on the market send a text to your phone when the battery's running low, it's just that issue of getting the signal out (and obviously the size issue). If only my knowledge of Physics was better...

Absolutely WIN. It's times like this you wish you had a GPS tracker small enough to have been able to trace the bike's movements. Well done cyberpunk23 for spotting it!

What ratio y'all running?

46/16 - no calculations or anything involved, that's just my gearing. Not gonna get too involved in changing it.

Just got a spot, 3pm. Right, where's my skinny-fits...

Got the email. It's a no. Hope everyone else had better luck..

(from FGL blog)

Anyone had the email yet?

I am. Not got an email from them though.

Confirmation emails go out tomorrow

This is London, they will cut through your ankle nick your bike & your foot

And quite possibly the bench too

RIP to a nice guy (by all accounts)

I wonder how the selection process works. Length of beard? Tightness of jeans?

Finally got my email conformation. says they will contact me on the 11th to tell me if i am amongst the 100 riders competing.

Same here, oh the drama of it all...
