Looking through my footage of the day I came across these two gems. Glad everyone walked away with only bruised butts and dented pride.
More footage to follow, it's going to take a while to go through it all.

LOL! yep, that was me on the lowside. I was fine, but i was so angry at myself. I was telling myself all day that i hope it doesnt catch me out on the power, and it did. Cost me a hundred quid. Was fun tho.

I've got your bike on it's side on the track, and one of the marshalls having a word with you.
I think I've got footage of you going round the corner will post it soon.

I went down at TARZAN and someone was already down.........The Flag marshall chased me to get my wrist band off...........................His adrenelin level was SKY high
BN, was it just a brain fart that you had front brake on in the gravel or were you going in too fast???? Surely you should have just hit the rear brake and tried to keep it upright???
Sorry to see you guys go down.....

Thats what i did wrong at rockingham and donny!!!! too busy with my feet down trying to steady myself

I just went in too hot mate,turned it in and realised that I was going way to fast so just slammed on the anchors to scrub as much speed off as I could:lol:
Tbh I think I just forgot that turn was there:lol:
Oh well you live and learn.
I know its a bit of a dick head thing to say but im sort of glad I crashed:wtf: as after I got my confidence back in the 3rd session come the 4th I was riding alot smoother and faster as I wasn't too botherd about crashing my bike again:funnyshit
I had a great day and still left with a smil on my face:AS:
