OMCC Airfield Riding Day

R6_Don & I were volunteer marshalls yesterday, at the OMCC clubs ARD at RAF Odiham. Had a great day.

Scotty, Star, Talan (& his crew) & SlowR1der were all there as well and looks like everyone had fun, even despite the half hour downpour in the afternoon!

I took lots of photos from my marshall point, with my (not quite so good) camera!

If anyone's free on September 4th, I know they will be looking for more marshalls. You get free food & drink all day, including a hot lunch, and you also get £20. Plus you get to watch all the bikes. Not a bad day out at all!

- in the middle of the Laandan / Southampton / Swindon triangle? Plus you get to see people fall off in closeup. :D

Would have to agree it was a good day, even if I was gutted as my bike was at home and not on the track :( I will be at the next one but will be riding hopefully. It was great to watch other riders and see all the different styles of peoples riding and cornering, the main thing I learnt was the correct foot positioning for your foot when leaning off the bike whilst cornering. We seen one guy and every time he went round his entire bottom half of his leg was touching the floor, he must get through some boots and leathers.

Green bike and green and black leathers by any chance....... that will be James Hillier BSB rider who is competing in the Evo championships but races in the main BSB races........makes the fast boys in the fast group look slow.....

No, this guy was in red & black. But we both saw Hillier and commented on how awesome he was!

If they still need people I'm free on Sept the 4th... I know this is an old post but sounds like a good day! :)
