Sunshine and blue sky’s welcomed us at Chicksands for
the first round of king of dirt.
A lot of work had been put in the previous weeks
by gethin and dowie to get the new line up and
maybe running for the pro comp, Tim and the other
guys had also put some work in during the week
to get the lander finished. With some final alterations
on the day and a little tweaking the line was
finally running.
The open comp kicked things
off with a serious improvement on last years riding.
So many good riders in this category made it a
real hard one to judge! Josh slater for the first
time I have ever seen went off at a comp showing
how stylish and how many tricks he really has!
Tailwhips looking smooth. Another rider that should
so much style and flow was Prebon. Little jake
was shredding the trails, dialled tables so flat!
Big old school no handers With a push from fellow
traverler ricky crompton jake went for 3’s
on dirt for the first time. Getting it round after
a couple of trys. Winner of the open phil had
so many smooth runs, twisting the second and third
in row as well as 360 tyre grabs and tailwhips
making him a worthy winner after a lot of hard
work over the past year.
The pro comp was going to be
cracker, really good turn out. With no lance here
it was going to make things interesting. Tom gething
bless him, had done his knee cartlidge a few days
before for rulling him out of the action for Flow
leaving Rob Newman to battle on his own. Team
24seven was down with new lance replacement Chris
Mahony along with Ricky Crompton and Sam “leopard
head” Pilgrim. 24 Seven are looking a really
strong team yet again this year. A few of the
lads from Dmr came down, Jimmy Pratt amazing me
yet again with the height he boosts out of the
trails. ID where without Glen Goe due to hernia
operation leaving Tom Dowie, Patrick Cambell and
Rory Backshell riding for them. Static bikes with
the legend that is culis and new signing Tom Pinto
looking very stylish.
Team 24seven came out on tops,
a tough comp between all three riders sam with
his barrels roles, turn down backflips. Chris
Mahony looked good but there oldest team member
Ricky Crompton walked away with the prize. Ricky
went off with some huge backflip no-handers, superman
seat grabs, Having been hidden in lances shadow
for some time now maybe this is rickys time. Photos
