bikes, beers, bbq and babes*, I’m down for this!

I gather there is racing going on on the velo too but need to have a competition license.

*might be wishful thinking

this is the week before racing starts and is a come and try session on the track

so if you want to have a go on the track too you can get out there before hand, no license needed and possibly roller racing will be cheaper as you will have already paid for your insurance :wink:

ill find out

Thought i’d give a plug for my mates ebay auction. he’s selling his rollers to help pay for a new track bike. Theyre super fun to roll on, and sadly I’m away when the race is on… but it might be good to practice before you get there on the 9th!

I’ve also heard on the grape vine he’ll let them go for around $200 including the fork mount which is specially drilled into the frame, there is some adjustments to them to help with different bike sizes. Anyway, hit him a message.
Here ends the plug!

Fark. They finished by the time I read this.

No bids. 99 cent opening price.

Fuck.

I messaged him, but I’m not dropping $200 on rollers.

racing this friday

couple of slots left so get on board asap

10

Might do this, but I’ve got a cold coming on and riding (and drinking beer) last night didn’t help.

I’ll see how I feel on Friday. If I don’t race, I’ll come down and cheer the Big Chipper on.

11

I feel like shizz too bro, thus my non-attendance last night…nothing that a roller derby can’t kick away though… :expressionless:

I am genuinely nervous about this thing…

12

I have stuff on that evening but i’ll be down later to cheer while Big Chip smashes it!

13

Oooowww Timmy and the lads, toughen up. :mrgreen:

It’ll be just like this, except with a drunker hecklers and it won’t be 1946!

See y’all tomorrow night!

Nice post, best clip I’ve seen ages.

Has the world gone soft? Check the size of those chain rings, 100 MPH???

For a second I thought it was big chippa, after a few drams of Spingbank 97 of course.

100 MPH!!!??

15

Nar we haven’t gone soft, its just that holders probably got sick of having their fingers chopped off by wheels doing 100mph :smiley: Nutting bigger than a 96" tomorrow thanks!

And this Big Chipper fellow I can’t wait to see what he can do!

16

I feel like rubbish, and haven’t registered, BUT I will be along to support the Big Chipper.

Hell, depending on how I feel tonight I’ll spin it on 46x17 and risers!

17

there is a spot available for you zoltan so dont be shy

18

I’ll see how I feel later.

The ride into work killed me this morning.

19

Fuck it.

49 x14 here I come!

Hope you are going to roll the aerospoke and risers.
