    Looking much better now, what do you think was the key thing to improve the shots?

    Re: BSB Thruxton

    Thanks for all the comments.

    BFiredup, I could make up so many replies to that But i better not

    Lori, I have always liked the Kawasaki but the KTM is starting to grow on me

    Paul, I think just trying to relax a little has helped which is hard to do when he is out there doing scary speeds Not good for my nerves Deep breaths
    Also turning off the VR i think has helped the focus

    You will get use to the speed, it will be second nature soon. I will have some of the 125 KTM's from the Red Bull Rookie Cup posted soon!

    Wull, you improve every time. These are looking great. And a nice variety as well, you really get the feel of the full race event.

    Thanks Brad.

    Running about daft with him racing in two different classes so was really surprised to get a few half decent photos. Wasnt easy as the place was packed full of people. I had to try and push my way through the crowd

    Woo Hoo! The nephew made onto eurosport during the week.

    A small clip is on you tube of him being pushed off the track and out of third place

    Not the best way to get on eurosport, I'd have preferred to see him on the podium !

    I know Paul. He was so close. It was an awsome race and the camera was on him for most of it. Oulton park this weekend so fingers crossed.

    It also had one of the best saves i have ever seen

    The nephew was just behind him when it happened and said the guy was a passenger. He couldnt believe he stayed upright

    I heard he had a knee operation not long after the race.
