Sunday September 22nd 2019
Saturday turned out to be a great day up at Silver Star - the weather was perfect, and the racing exciting to watch, but while the action on the Endurocross track was thrilling - for me, the best entertainment, was seeing the kids racing on what I would term, an old English style Scrambles track. - These little stars of tomorrow, were really flying, while being urged on by a crowd of family supporters. The Dunbar lads were the big winners, but we were impressed by many of the other youngsters , including Jeremy Bonofoy.
The Hare Scramble goes today up on the Mountain, which should be good, hopefully the weather will hold. - We chatted to a lot of old friends, who stopped by our Beta Tent, with the Trials display. Chris Hrabb from Revelstoke and Ted McDowell will line up today with a host of other riders from Alberta and BC.
Check out this pic I took of one of the Dunbar lads, (Far right) smoking past a couple of lapped riders - The way some of these kids cut through the traffic was very impressive. - Congrats to Andrew Christianson and his Team for doing a fantastic job on this annual event.

An old pic from the 60’s - this track was not that far from where I lived in the UK and many of these riders would attend the Scrambles put on by our local Oswestry club.
Why do manufactures of ATV’s and 4 Wheel drive cars, insist on showing their products going through creeks and mud holes? The Enviro crowd must lap this up for their propaganda machine.
============================================>
The last round of the FIM World Trials Championship goes today in Spain - but Tony Bou has already clinched the men’s title and Emma Bristow the Ladies. - Therefore the real interest is in the runner up spots - Adam Raga and Jeroni Fajardo are neck & neck in points - but Fajardo didn’t have a bike for the last event? (GG) Update : Seems Fajardo has been suspended for a year by the FIM because of a failed drug test.
===========================================>
They call him “Birdman” and Sean Bird has now taken his Stunt riding to another level - He is part of the Sam King Shows being put on all over Canada.

The first day of the Cord Enduro in Eastern Canada is in the books - and the Alberta ladies lead the way - Shelby Turner, Melissa Harten and Lexi Pechout.
