Dugan and Dylan were certainly two highlights coming out of the Battle of Hastings for me, it’s mind boggling the hang time these guys can get, in little more than a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. But it was Bambi that was was on top form and ripping as good, if not better, than anyone there. He did the locals proud, and was the one really showing the foreigners the lines and setting the standard. He also did it all whilst enjoying a few refreshing beers at the same time, again, quite the regular thing to do at Clissold and made think we’re not too dissimilar to the pros…

Well, that is until it comes to the riding. It’s at times like these that the pros really separate themselves from the ‘ordinary’ rider. There is a bunch of us that ride that place regularly, and have a good time doing it, but when you see these guys rip the lid off off a place, it really puts you in your place. It was a pleasure to witness and made me realise that I need to remember, that speed is your friend, it sends you high, don’t be afraid of speed. In the words of legendary racing driver, Mario Andretti, “if everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough”
