simon_s Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Well had a fun weekend watching/jeering/drinking. Took what's technically known as 'loads' of pictures so I'll get them up tomorrow... Well done to all the competitiors....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan kemp Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks to Andy and the team for organising this event. I had a brilliant time with some tough sections. I quite liked the speed aspect particularly after the pump was "tweaked" by Simon. Lots of bits to repair, shocks are goosed but nothing major. Well done Chris and Simon, my consequential safety catch is being surgically removed next week. Steff and Adrian, well done again, You have all made Jim very proud I am sure.... The GP winch is awesome to see in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat69 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 still waiting for a video of Pete rolling Bathtub whilst doing his turn before the mud run... flat, about 20mph and still managed to roll it !!!! also, awaiting one of Chris Abel RR 3ft in the air over the mud run with Simon's arms in the air like in the fun ride.... that was impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Abel Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Great Weekend for us again, we loved the mud run and the special stages were good fun, the highlight for me has got to be watching Bathtub rolling before he gets to the mud run Can we have more speed next year i want to go faster Bigger jump into the mud run would be nice Got a very nice looking paper weight on my desk at the moment I would just like to say a big thanks to Jim Marsden for letting me have the honours’ of testing the new Gigglepin bottom housing with FREESPOOL it’s an awesome bit of kit and has got to be 25% faster under load than a Gigglepin winch with +40 gears!!
