Hawkstone International

This last week has been pretty dam awesome for me, firstly after my Brampton BYMX video went on-line, I was getting really good feedback from it, so I decided to email some websites and magazines, I thought I'd started off with the biggest one first, MOTO mag. After 1 email 1 phone call all in the space of 1 hour I was going to the rest BYMX rounds, so pleased to be working for such a big magazine in the motocross industry, I'm sure I will learn lots from them and hope everyone enjoy's my video's to come. 


I'm going to jump forward to Saturday. It was another lovely day so John and Scott got out on there bikes on our little track again, I was there to take some photo's, mainly of John goon riding :D I look around, theres my dad all kitted out walking towards a bike. So he got a good bit of riding in too. After sorting all the bikes out and having a bite to eat, me and Scott set off for hawkstone park at 7pm, we had a travel lodge booked for the night near the track. A nice 3 hours journey down, got booked in, got the DVD's out of my bag looked up and there wasn't a DVD player in our room, so that didn't work out, match of the day had to do.  

We were only 10 mins from the track. So we got up at a descent time to have a good look around the pits before the racing started. The amount of talent that was there was unreal, I've been to a GP before but I think its just hawkstone, there's just something special about it. The scrubs and whips where also getting lay'd down in large quantity's which was good to watch. Having Englishman ride in England and win boosted the atmosphere alot too. I'm sure most people have seen the results and read the race reports. I really wished I'd filmed there, but I didnt so no video from me. Here are some photo's from the day I've kept most of the good ones back for the minute.       

     

I'm working on some new idea's, so keep an eye out for some more video's to come in the next couple of months 

Brampton BYMX

This weekend Brampton was host to the BYMX. Which was handy because I had nothing planned and the track is only 20 mins away from my house. So I went along, filmed for 2 days and took a couple of photo's. There was alot of rain and snow the week coming up to the event. which made rumours spread that it was cancelled, which where not true. The diggers got on the track and made it happen. It was ruff, rutty and very hard going, which created some awesome racing. The photo's I took where nothing special just getting my camera set up (I was to busy talking). I started straight away Monday morning editing finally got it done about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, by that time my eyes were hanging out. It took 12 hours to up load, which was annoying because I just wanted to show people it, but anyway here are some photo's and the video.

250 Time

I'm going to start off this blog with what I got up to on the weekend. Saturday, as the race van has been sitting lonely through the cold snowy winter, the brakes had ceased up on it, so on the local garage said that we could borrow there pit in the morning to sort them out. With that done the afternoon was just chilled out. My dad was working night shift, so there was no MX planned for Sunday. 

Sunday morning was a glorious sunny day, once my dad got up I persuaded him to take Scott riding (which didnt take much). We have a nice tight little track built in my Granda's garden so we went there. With Scott's 125 in bits from last weekend, there where only 250 2 strokes left for him to ride. Scott's my younger brother, hes only 14 and last year he was on a 85, so a 250 was abit of a handful, after a couple of laps he started getting the hang of it. he rode it really well alot better than I expected. Here's some pics from the day.
