Is it true joris snapped his carbon? I notice most of the big names on gt have built up the 2014 ally framesdarryn will more then likely be on the carbon

considering he is a stay strong team member and not a gt team member id say he will be on alloy until there is a ss carbon gtdarryn will more then likely be on the carbon
Yes.
Or at least he had a significant enough mechanical failure at the last SX round to require him to scavenge a replacement frame (I believe it was a redline) during practice. He was on an alloy GT come TT/Superfinal (and racing) time though.

raced round 1 of a Retro mini-series yesterday at Gawler. the season has officially started for me...and i've just found out that not only am i hypothyroid but B12 deficient as well :yield:explains why i've been struggling to ride tho.
hwell: ah well. hopefully the supplements will have begun to kick in by the start of the State Series on August 25 - this year i've dropped the second class and am only racing Retro there too.
stay tuned for the latest Suparoo survivor race beast that my OH has insisted on building for me :becky:

Hey I am just getting back into the sport after a ten year break, what class are you racing
Today's the day for my first actual race after breaking my collar bone back in late April.
I reckon I could have started back sooner, but the doctor and physio said 3 months post surgery, so here we are.
Unfortunately, it will also be my last race for 2 more months as I'm scheduled to get the plate removed in 2 weeks and that "requires" another 6 weeks of no "contact" sports.

Noooo! That frame was better than the current model! Says she who races a rawed 2010 XL 20" and a 2013 cruiser.
shame I missed that, I'm after a new wheelset for the 20.

Steve Ladd had a very nice set of juniors (i think?) at Mildura on sunday. can't remember if they were Junior cruiser or 20". skinny's tho. you could probably contact him thru the Mildura club. i just wanted the rear hub!
.....the orange was my preferred colour too until i was offered a factory raw at the right price at the States Mt Gambier meet. XL is a little long for me tho at 5'2".
hear you on that. it's taken me nearly two years and a very stressful bmx season riding two and sometimes three classes in multiple State and club series to realise that doing so much with a minor brain injury wasn't smart....
this State Series i may make a guest appearance in the Open Wheel women's if they need the numbers but i'm concentrating on Retro with the blokes on the latest BennyMac built Suparoo.

Well I finally got the OK from the physio to ride again around a month ago now. Last night was my third training session back, and I'm definitely starting to feel a lot better on the bike. I'm still scared shitless, but I've managed to hit a few decent sized jumps and doing some good manuals and double manuals through our rhythm section. I'm still a fair way off having the confidence to race, but at least I'm starting to head in the right direction now.
And now I can say my new bike has done more than 3 lapseace:

Envy's yes, factory Redline hubs? sorry, no :sorry: i bought a set for my cruiser off a lightweight female friend's Redline, hardly been used - stripped the rear hub within a week.
