Forum member Bengt Husky aboard a very trick looking old skool 500 YZM replica had a first race DNF for some reason.

Got hit from behind on the first lap by someone and broke my front brake lever mate....well gutted...

Any more pics of the YZ in the old skool livery..?

I got 2/3 Steve, im knocking off now but i'll get im up in due course... It got bloody ruff didnt it!!

CCM's Belgium import Maarten Cremers had a good debut scoring in all 3 moto's, expect to see him inside the top dozen at the 4 sand venues on this years calender

Long term resident Tom Church rewarded CCM's faith in him with his first race victory that came in moto 2 and second overall on the day to back it up.



Completing the CCM trio, Stephen Sword has been quoted as saying he's going to be fired up coming from behind and in fact its better for him that way, so expect no quarter given at the Heights at the next round.

After a long Maxxis absence Phoenix Tools entrant Dave Yelland had a day he'd probably rather forget

Dixon's only MX1 pilot will be coming out swinging for Kents next round with a point to prove, MX1 is anybodys at the moment, real excitment

Darren Shears, another sole brand pilot aboard the St Blazey Husky, he got the BMW based machine into the points so alls good.

Another shot of Steve Barber, former schoolboy factory Husky rider, Barber aka forum member Bengt Husky, suffered in moto 1 but was back for more punishment in moto 2

With nearly a 10 hour round trip, Richard Brown must have been glad to see thwe weekend over and going away with a clutch of points in the bag too.

Im not sure having a sponser such as Scott Proberts is a good thing, it seems his goggle man didnt put the cannister in properly...too much of the sponsers tipple maybe

Kopparbergs Cider - One:28 Hondas Scott Probert

Bringing a new meaning to Twisted 7's camp, Lewis Trickett looked deciededly secondhand after his coming together on turn one

After a fantastic opening few laps Ray Rowson's Samsung Yamaha got reeled in by the factory effort of Zach Osbournes Bike-it Wild Wolf one.

The 'Goose' looked as trick as a deck of cards in a magicians pocket

Mel Pococks day seemed to go almost un-noticed, but the TAS Suzuki runner came away with a 6-14-6 scorcard for 7th overall so not a bad base to work from on a new team.

EBB just got quicker as the day went on going from a 9th in moto 1 then 5th and finally getting on the last step of the podium in the last moto

Forum member Josh Waterman took Jim Davies's place as the sole 2 stroke rider aboard the KTM

With a lot of expectations on his shoulders, Rob Hoopers Maxxis A[ico Suzuki ex pat Stephen Clarke only scored in moto 1, not sure what the circumstances are but a DNF in race 2 and a DNS in race 3 is sure to have forum member 'Monda' reeling in his Fantasy Motocross legue's choice!!

Stu Edmonds suffered ill fate in moto 1 ending up way down the leader board, but he came back to go 10-8 in the final two motos and ended up second non Jap bike in the overall standings.

Db Racing team mate to Ebb, James Cottrell missed the points in moto 1 but is in a strong championship position to work from for round 2.

Another new name on the circuit, riding the Rinaldi-Vanteck Kawasaki, Peter Mitchell improved in each race to finish the final moto just outside the points.

Local Southwest rider James Dodd put in an excellent final moto to boost his place in the standings to 17th.

Jamie Law came out all guns blazing in moto 1 on the D3 KTM taking 8th, however two 14th spots dropped him down to 13th overall as the sun went down.

Arnaud Tonus, surprise package???

It seems the Maxxis is turning into the Premiership with foreign riders springing up all over the place, team mate to one fsuch foreign party, Mattis Karro is another such rider, Erki Kahro
