Title: NPS 4X Round 6&7
Post by: rickhuss93 on August 17, 2008, 23:21:32 PM
I'm very tired so I'll try not to waffle on but id just like to say thankyou very much to all the guys (and girls, mums cakes  ;)) a very big thankyou for such an awesome weekend. Firstly i don't think theres enough credit for all these guys that work their bollocks off for the park. I'm in a good mood after winning some free Spank grips down at the park so Ive taken a snap of alot of the riders and gone through each one editing and finishing it off professionally. This has taken me 3 and a half hours but I honestly don't care as its my way of putting something back into the park. Ill finish there  ;),
Thankyou very much Ukbikepark for providing consistently amazing events.

 :) Enjoy....

Thanks Tom thats much apprieciated!

Really liked the photos, especially the NPS 4X (1) in your album, the middle rider looks like he's off on a Long Haul Flight!  :)

Me and the guys enjoyed working at the event (sooo good not to be driving Uplift all day and missing all the fun), polished organisation from Chris Roberts and the NPS crew (cheers), too bad about the weather, (it's raining here right now!) I'm sure we would have seen a few more had it been hot and sunny!

 Also congratulations to local Grease Monkey/Breakfast grill Chef  Andy (IR) Payne for winning the Novice catagory!

(You see Russ, he didn't crash out.....you owe me fiver!)

Just about to head up there for a the final clear up, so thanks to all for coming  (leaving our site the way found it...clean!) hope y'all had a safe journey home..... :)

1. All the UKBP/NPS organisers should be proud of their efforts over the weekend. Top racing.
2. Anyone know how the rider who was stretchered off is doing ? hope youre ok.
3. A lot of props to the UKBP/NPS/ExtremeMedics chaps who dealt with him. professionalism through and through.
4. To the lads who appeared to be taking taking snapshots of the paramedics/UKBP/NPS crew working on and extracting the injured rider - NO NEED, PUT THE CAMERAS AWAY.

Yeah I saw this as well. People if someone has caked themselves on the ground you really shouldn't be near the area there in (unless family etc) let alone taking pics. Show a little respect.

O and thanks Ben  :)
