Here's the photographic evidence of the derring-do of a handful of Ixies at Stockbury Off-road Centre in Maidstone, Kent on the 25th October. Much fun was had by all.
True
to form, Dave Lippett turns up at an Ixion event with a broken vehicle.
Meanwhile, Flossie tries to work out which way up the seat goes (yes, MX seats
ARE that hard!). |
DL
borrows Mik's RM250 , and with permission from Air Traffic Control goes for a
spin. |
Chris
Paine skilfully pulls a stoppie right at the top of one of the jumps. |
Paul
Willis getting confident (or is it showing off) past the 'Green Box' full of
Ixies. |
Paul's
confidence increases and the pro's run for cover. |
Mal,
building confidence.... |
....
and with yet more confidence. Mal's confidence built up to the point of the
wettest crash of the day into the 'far corner' lake. Not satisfied with that,
he then went on to somersault himself and the RM after pulling a wheelie up one
of the jumps. In control? I think not! |
Mik
Reed finally has a go on his own bike.... |
...
and shows us MX nobbers which wheel should come down first. |
