Am gonna try find out how he’s doing tomoz.
Due to half my time spent looking after him I havn’t got any phots of me in action unfortunately. My mate got a camera-phone vid of me finishing tho, will try grab a copy. Only pic she took me related was of my bike in the fueling area:
December 27, 2008 at 4:57 pm #57223HippoDronesParticipantWoohoo, I came 243rd out of 323 (although only 272 people finished!)
December 27, 2008 at 5:00 pm #57224HippoDronesParticipantOh, and I’ve just called the event secretary and Jason, the lad I was looking after from the off so far don’t appear to have broken his pelvis and last they had heard he was having scans but his parents were more concerned about him being knocked out than any possible back injury so hopefully fingers crossed all he’ll have to worry about is a headache or two!

[]Does that mean your now also known as PETE243 !?!?[]
Good to hear that Jasons injuries appear not as bad as first thought, yes fingers crossed the same can be said for his head.
December 28, 2008 at 12:28 am #57226HippoDronesParticipantnot heard back from the event organisors, am hoping that means good news! 19yrs young is not an age for back injuries if any is???
Hahaha, will stick with 247 for a while. Incentive to do better prevents me changing just yet!
December 30, 2008 at 8:35 pm #57227MannyParticipantHello Pete just popped in to say thanks, did try to get back to you but couldn’t work out which number on my phone was yours…there was no phone number in your entry.
Spoke to Jason on the Sunday apart from some bumps and scrapes was feeling fine, at least he got a good story to tell being airlifted out.
Most marshalls turn up and are there just to have a blast round and aren’t even members of the club, we do have radios 9 Motorola’s but are given out selectively. My laptop also went on the blink and has Fugawi mapping software. Next year we going to buy some flares just in case!!
Hope you enter next year and drag some of your mates with you. Heres a good forum thread that might interest you plenty of photographers links.

December 31, 2008 at 11:49 am #57228HippoDronesParticipantThats fantastic news Manny about Jason
Am glad you managed to find this site and update this thread with how he was doing.
I really hope I can get back and do it again, was great fun but I so need to get to the gym and work on my stamina, it was so much harder than I was expecting it to be
I am planning on entering as many as I can afford to to help build my skills up and its a cracking day out even going round at my slow pace!
Will check out the link, am on that site as the same username as on here
January 4, 2009 at 11:22 pm #57229HippoDronesParticipantAfter sifting through the many phots of the event I was kindly given these two pics of me going round by one of the togs at the event:
This was the first corner of the first lap
Can’t quite remember what part of the course this was from?

Glad you’re still putting your foot down instead of your knee Pete. Must get confusing
January 5, 2009 at 5:07 pm #57231HippoDronesParticipantIt does at times! lol
January 5, 2009 at 10:37 pm #57232RadarModeratorGreat pics Pete. When you competing next?
January 5, 2009 at 11:00 pm #57233HippoDronesParticipantnot sure mate, need to fix the bike and service it etc. May try get to Ginger’s Farm on Sunday but no enduro events planned for a bit. Need to see whats going on up here in Scotland
