Me taking a second place at Llandow in torrential rain This is me at the 2005 N.E.C Bike show trying out a 900 Ducati Monster. ME ( IT'S A BIT BIG YET !! )
This is me on my GRC at Trax in Preston !!-it is my very first race meeting and was a round of the phoenix championship ...
... I ended up getting very serious on account of my lack of attention span, on the way home from that very same race !!!!!!!
This is me with the amazing Ricky Ashworth, of the Sheffield Tigers Speedway Team !!!
Ricky is also sponsored by Marshalls and is currently the Tigers No.1 Racer !!!!! Good luck this season Ricky !!!! ( Damn I need his Autograph, man !)
The photo above is me at my first visit to Stretton in March 2006. The boy in the Background is called Jake and is doing the southern Phoenix Championship, and he has been doing MiniMoto for around the same amount of time as me and we are at similar levels and I decided to put this pic on because I am actually in the lead there but we both had some fun over taking each other, but I am glad to say, that most sessions I was in front but in the last session he took off like a rocket and he was over the horizan like a shining Yellow bullet !!!
These two are me again at Stretton. As you can see, I am having a great time around this excellent twisty fast track. If you look closely, you can see me smiling inside my helmet !!!!
I went to Oulton Park on May 2 to watch a round of British Superbikes. This is me with John Reynolds, ex BSB Champion in 2001 and 2004, and all-round rapid bike racer ! He noticed I had my knee sliders attached to my leathers and asked if I did Minimoto !!! I told him I was in the British Championship this year, and we had a chat about racing against his pal Niall Mackenzie's sons. These pictuers are from one of my rounds of the british championship( Race 4 at Llandow-Cardiff.)
This is me, my sister Charlotte, Luke Hedger and Harry Coomber. I am on the left of the pic, my sis' is the GIRL sitting on top of me and Luke and Harry is the one on the floor in the Yellow, Black and Grey Gimoto leathers. This is Liccle Luke as my sis' calls him !!! (WOW !! He was absoloutely rocketing around this track along with Harry Coomber and Harry Pullar who are the two lucky boys featuring in this next photo.
I still don't know how Harry Coomber can ride round bends with both legs out wide !!!!! Harry if you read this please do explain !!, at the next round.
This is James Flitcroft, on his Metrakit 50, at Llandow-Cardiff !!
Here are some photos of my trip to the Isle Of Man TT2006 !! This is me and my Dad with his trusty Kawasaki ZX6-R Ninja that we went on. We only did 30mph Mum, honest !!! The ferry in the background is the one we went on, the Ben-My-Chree. We managed to come back on a fastcat, which did the crossing from Heysham in about half the time. This is me with Pete and Deb Lambert, and their dog Badger. Pete and Deb kindly put us up in their wagon (pictured above right), where we stayed on the quayside at Douglas, which was brill, as we stayed up with a fire of driftwood burning until the sun came up ! It was definitely time for bed then, although my dad was using me as an excuse to turn-in earlier. This is me. Pete, and Deb, at the town of Peel.
This is me with the incredible Steve Colley at the Onchan Stadium when we went to watch the insane Purple helmets !!!! Steve is an ex world trials champion, and can do things with a bike which are truly unbelievable !! I managed to have a chat with Steve, and also blag his autograph. What a truly nice guy !!!! We watched him jump his bike from a standstill on to the top of a transit van !! using the suspension and throttle on his bike, and also his immense skill !!!! We saw Steve perform at the stadium, and also outside Bushy's beertent on Douglas promenade ! The following pic's are from Rowrah- the 5th round of the british championship 06 !! !!!! ENJOY !!!!
Here are some of the latest pics of me at the first round at LLandow. Here is a good snap of me sitting on the grid with a strange mixed up feeling of anxiety, nerves and a slight rush of absolute madness just before my first ever Metrakit 50 race !!
The pic above is of me coming out of the last corner(without my knee down styl)... YET !
Well.. here is me in my real racing madness and yet again throwing that mini little speed contraption around like a feather yet again round that last bend !
These next pictures are of me testing just 1 week after the 1st round and progressing quickly !!(at Whilton Mill- Daventry a great track )
Well .. Well .. Well after a confidence boost I picked up a few pointers from Flick I had got my styl and The knees were down all over the place(another ten quid from my dad-a little reward) Below are some more pics from throughout that day !
Here is a great shot of me and Flick flipping them Metrakits through that fast right handed last corner !!
