Moto-Cross Madness
David was treated to an afternoon having a taster session at TonyMoto, a moto-cross facility in Winchester. It has about 6 tracks in all. He took his mate Tom along. Although they are both keen BMX racers ( and Tom is a BMX champ ), this was a scary moment as they waited with all their protective clobber on.
John was their instructor. Nice bloke - been there seen it done it himself. His son races as well which made him give up road racing to concentrate on his moto-cross racing. He told the boys that if they listened in the first half an hour then they would soonbe out on the big track.
Here is Tom taking his first steps on a motorbike. John told him off for his easy rider style. He did a couple of wicked wheelies when he was doing this bit of training!
David waiting to start his go around the grass just to get the hang of clutch / throttle control.The second session they were introduced to gears!
David here shown holding a very good position on the bike on the big track. John said that he had listened really well and that he would be a good technical rider if he continued. Mmmmm, that's the big question!
