Results of race on
October 8th 2008
First of all
It was a great night of racing and thanks to all the racers who put on a great show
Pro class winner and overall champion
Yetiman
Can anyone ever beat this fully sponsered rider?
RBI was inches from victory in the main but lost by a great final thrust wheely by Yetiman
2nd place
Tyler AKA RBI
He almost pulled of the upset and made the racing electric
3rd place
Chris
He was just happy to make the main and did well against a strong field
Lindsey easily handled the Powder puff division
and I see no one that will ever beat her
Lindsey wowed the crowds with her dazzling accelation and speed and she rode a BMX bike.
She said next month she is bringing the Fixie.
Once again Juno gave it his all and came up short, but a great competitor and just plain fun to have around.
And finally Thanks to the great crowd that cheered everyone on
and encouraged all the competition
Next months race will be November 5th On a Wednesday night
Same Bat Time Same Bat channel
Check out the next calander dat November 5th for all the info.
See you there
Lardito OUT!!!!!

correction: Lindsay does not own a fixie. Next time I'm bringing my "road" bike...with gears! lol
But yeah, that was RAD. can't wait until next time to show these guys whats up.

geared bikes need to tape their shifters down or keep it in the same gear the entire time. every time i heard a derailleur drop i thought it was a bike falling apart from too much torque.

That RBI... he's so hot right now...
That was fun though! Maybe I'll race next time...

lol. a good derailleur and well timed shift prevents that problem. But if it makes you happy.

To Lindsey:
If you want to race track at Encino let me know. You would rock.
I could maybe set that up . You could train there.

by the way you can screw in the rear deraleur adjustmens to lock it in if you have skipping probs.
And also if you have a a good system it should be no prob at all if you know how to let up a tad before you shift.

the address of the velodrome is 17301 Oxnard St, Encino, CA. its sort of near balboa and burbank boulevards. i have room in my cr-v for two or three more bikes, but no more room for any more people, so i dont know if that helps you out or not.

lol...no not really. Thanks for the address though. It's only 8 miles from the train station to the track so I'll be able to get there easily. Shit I'm really looking forward to this now...looking at the website that shit looks fun

if you plan on renting a bike, bring your own pedals. preferably clipless, NO PLATFORMS. lycra and dropbars are the best way to enjoy the drome.

POLO 100x more funner and exciting than riding ovals also rougher on bike is semi true- two schools of thought- durable good quality bikes last longer even in Polo, even with klutzy riders- 2nd school of thought sez use crappy stuff is gonna get fuctup anyway- I tried both schools- my Dura Ace wheels with Deep V rims only needed to be trued once and I play all the time and use same bike for everything else, just like my two other starters. My Pure Polo bike is now in a coma cuz it was cheap to begin with- peeps say they dont come becuz they afraid to scratch their bike, they lie they really just cant hang with us- we have extra polo bikes often for use
Just bring whatever bike you are best at riding one handed 24'' wheels would be the smallest I recommend, one dude already plays on that he is good on it tho
We very gentle in 818 with Draft picks and rookies- nobody got hurt here yet- seen way worse on these alleycats and drunk ridazz
tallcans4tallbikes10.10.08 - 4:57 pm

the only reason i want a beater bike is because of the high probability of having a polo stick jammed into your spokes (that's what she said).
and i dont want to buy new spokes.

neight at the velodrome says to bring your clipless stuff and a pedal wrench. if they dont fit the bikes they have, then bring tennis shoes and stock pedals. when i originally said NO PLATFORMS i meant dont be one of those idiots riding brakeless without toeclips and straps.

I think my rasta bike would be perfect for this...but I'd have to see about getting it to LA. I have no idea how to play polo. I've only seen it done on horses

THERE IS NO WAY I'M RIDING BRAKELESS
fuuuuuck that. please tell me the bikes they rent have brakes
let me tell you this...I have only ridden a fixed gear once. I need brakes. Brakes are my friend.

its stupid to have brakes on the velodrome. in the event of a crash, you can get gored with a brake lever. it happened to me trying to do stupid flatland tricks in my sixth grade bmx days.
ruinedbyidiots10.10.08 - 5:29 pm
reply
Track bikes have no brakes so everyone travels evenly without braking . All fixed gears move evenly.
Since everyone is so close any sudden movement by breaking would cause an accident.

lardito10.11.08 - 11:30 am
reply
Yeah I know they're not supposed to have brakes, I am just inexperienced on a bike without them. I wouldn't want to get on the track with a bunch of people I would cause a huge crash most likely. lol When is a good time for a first-timer to try it out?

a good time for a beginner to try it out would be the 19th.

On a track bike fixed gear ,everyone goes the same speed so there is no squiliness....Once you get comfy with that the fun begins..

FYI
Date of November race is on the 12th , the second week of the month.
It was listed wrong
Results of bogus race on the 5th
Ratt pick went against Yetiman best two out of three and Yetiman prevailed in 2
RBI went against Even the conquerer and Even was also elimated in 2
'D" went against Juno and Juno had a shot at it but D had the momentum and eliminated Juno in one. Junos front shifting cable was busted and his pit crew was unable to piece in together in time for the next heat. and was elimainated
D raced Ratt Pick in the second round and D was to just able to hold off Ratt in the final few yards.
Evan in the repascharge went against Ratt Pick , the best 2 out of three. They race to very competive races that were close to the wire both times, but at the end Evan took the first 2 and defeat Ratt Pick to hold onto 4th place

The course was clean and fast and it was decided to add 50 more feet to the course to make it a total of 250 Yards.
The new distance made it harder for riders that entered more than one class and Favorite Yetiman appeared out of steam as he was headed into the finals. He finally relinquished his championship as he just did not have enough to overcome two strong riders and slipped to second in both of his finals.
A1 Pro Bmx rider Keith Grimes had it going on as he rolled to victory in the 700 C class and looks like he is the new man to beat.
