Frearson takes charge at Dirt Track round 2

The strange British weather dealt the second round of the British Dirt Track Championship a good hand and a fantastic racing surface and track was produced for the racers to serve up some excellent racing once again at the grass circuit at Idover Lane, nr Wootton Bassett.

Due to the size of the track the Welsh Pitbikes British Dirt Track Mini Bike Championships also had a chicane to contend with, which kept the racing close, interesting and as always keenly contested.

The once again was top class when it came to entertainment. Race one went to a jubilant Wayne Johnstone, but after that it was all the impressive Adam Frearson’s, who looked pure class, although he was pushed all the way by Luke Coker who has to come from the back on each occasion due to poor starts. Newcomer Tony Tomasso from Poole notched a third place finish overall on his debut and was always on the pace, whilst Welsh chargers Mathew Cole and Billy Coles recorded their best ever finishes with 4^th and 5^th respectively and took a liking to the wet conditions, later in the day.

Johnstone after a few falls, ended up down in sixth overall, but won the final in atrocious conditions following an intense hail storm just before the race. Newcomer Ricky Pay enjoyed his day and pledged to be back and more competitive next time round after a 7^th place finish.

Welsh Pitbikes Competition winner Mark Teggins enjoyed his day and finished a commendable 7^th overall but more importantly enjoyed his Dirt Track experience and will be back for more!

The biggest plus of the day was the great atmosphere and camaraderie in the pits, with everyone going home with a smile on their face no matter how caked in dirt they were, and it was fantastic to see more newcomers to the sport.

All in all another great days racing all completed within two and half hours due to the impending weather, the slick show was enjoyed by all, as the show now moves onto round 3 at the Abbey Stadium, the home of the Swindon Robins Speedway team on the 8^th July. Spaces are limited and with many riders already expressing an interest in riding event it is suggested that those wishing to take part email into entries@allterrainevents.eu as entry forms are not yet available.

Adam’s Shipp Comes In At Round One

Adam’s Shipp Comes In At Round One

The British Dirt Track championships set out its stall good and proper at the Coventry Speedway Stadium with round one of the series ticking all of the boxes in terms of race action and excitement.

The action was close fought all of the way in the Welsh Pit Bikes British Dirt Track Mini Bike Championships. Current champion Mark Richardson had engine problems in his first race gifting the points lead to Former British Grasstrack Champion Adam Shipp who was more than impressive in his debut mini outing. Richardson went on to win the final, with Shipp in second, but it was Coventry Speedway Star Edward Kennett who got closest to the Champion riding the boards for maximum grip giving him 2^nd place in the standings, but an engine failure in the Final halted his chances of taking the spoils.

Works STOMP racer Luke Coker worked his way through the field to 3^rd place in the final starting at the back of the grid due to a crash in his 2^nd heat which hindered his scoring. Terry Saunters, Steven Rhodes and Steve Martin were all front runners also and the battles in this class were amazing to watch with plenty of spills as usual, with the most spectacular going to both Nick Lawrence and Gary Phelps who both scored 9.5 for artistic interpretation.

In all it was another great Dirt Track event with the racers and spectators all loving the circuit and the quality of the racing. The next round in the series is on the 21^st April.

British Dirt Track Mini Bike Championships - Coventry 10th March
Following on from the massive success of the two Dirt Track Cross rounds at Newport and last years Dirt Track Championships for Mini Bikes, now is the time to sign up for Round 1 of the Welsh Pitbikes British Mini Bike Dirt Track Championships, which kicks off at the Plush Coventry International Speedway Stadium on the 10th March Coventry.

Racing in flat out, short sharp races, on the speedway track, this is a different type of racing and with a full line up of Minis expected the racing is fast and furious, great to watch, even better to race in.

The top six from last year are seeded through to the main event with a few other seeded spots up for grabs for riders who have the pedigree to be contenders and based on results in the DTX and other MCF Mini Events.

Riders of all abilities can race in the daytime qualifier at 2pm and the top boys go through to the main event so a great day for all! You can also ride in the MX class.

Only being down the road from Mallory and the day before the Mini Bike Champs it will be a great weekend to take in two events all with the same MCF license

British Dirt Track Cross Championships - Round 1 - results

British Dirt Track Cross Championships - Round 1 - results

A very muddy but great day of racing was had on Sunday, for round one of the British Dirt Track Cross Championships for 2012. A full report to follow but stand out performances from Luke Cooper with a Maximum, and comeback king James Fletcher in the Quadzilla sponsored QRA Quad class, and Steve Martin in the Welsh Pitbikes sponsored Mini Bike class spring to mind. Not forgetting another fantastic perfomance from Dayfdd Davies in the Elite Youth Quads, this youngster has a big future, and James White-Williams again taking the MX class, although Blaine Blackwell did get the better off him in one race. Thanks again to all you came to watch, race, marshall and help out, and Newport Speedway.

Our new sponsors from Ducksmart Bike cleaner were also there and donated prizes for the top three in each class. I think after the mess the bikes were in after this one, it was thankfully recieved by those who won them.

Juice BOX Electric Version 2

Ok, so it’s been a while since we updated the world on our electric pit bike. The project unfortunately had to go back to the drawing board at the pre-production phase when the price of rare earths shot through the roof almost tripling the price of our motor & making the project unviable. There were also quite a few negative comments noted on the internet relating to the styling of the bike, so we took this opportunity to redesign the whole bike, virtually from scratch.

In hard testing we have had motor overheating issues (burnt out windings & commutator) & we have been working closely with suppliers on a bespoke motor design that suits our high power requirements. The JBE now features a motor temp cut-out, so if for example a rider decides to ride the bike up into the welsh mountains & overheats the motor, it will cut the power to the motor until it has cooled down again. The speed controller is also our own specification, based on an industrial design with a few tweaks for top speed & acceleration control with additional current limiting to prevent riders burning out the motor.

Because this bike is targeted at a very low price bracket we cannot use many of the new technologies on offer as they are far too expensive, e.g. brushless motors, lithium based batteries etc. This bike uses lead-acid gel batteries & brushed motor technology.

Due to the hardware limitations we have had to come up with some clever tweaks to get the performance we need, at a price the customer is willing to pay. We are not prepared to state the true power out put, but let’s just say it’s over 1 kw, can pop wheelies with a little bar tug & hits a top speed of around 22 mph. Perfect for youngsters or big kids (adults) to play on too. It will last typically 1 hour 10 minutes when ridden flat out. however, if you turn dow the acceleration & top speed e.g. for kids learning, it will run for up to 3 hours on 1 charge.

I have read some funny comment about electric pit bikes e.g. ‘you cannot jump them…’ errr. This baby jumps just fine, based on a CRF50 style chassis it’s light nimble & flick-able & most certainly jumps without issue. In fact it’s a blast, albeit a virtually silent one (think stealth, woods, trails, street spots, concrete skate parks etc. of course all private legal ones).

We have also come up with some other clever innovations such as the ‘beeper buzzer’ this lets the rider know the bike is live. When the throttle is closed, there is a delay of a few seconds before a subtle beeper starts to sound with a small LED for visual warning. This device reminds you to switch off the bike when you come to a standstill.

We have experienced many times what happens when people are unaware of the electric JBE being switched on. Kids & adults have a natural obsession with opening the throttle of a bike. This is fine on a petrol engine because you can hear it running. However on an electric bike it generally results in the bike flying off its stand crashing into whatever is surrounding, with the intrepid throttle puller hanging off the back crumpling to a heap on the floor. In more severe cases a child could be sticking their fingers where they shouldn’t. The Beeper buzzer aims to prevent this with the audible & visual warning.

Although we are still at the final prototype phase, we feel we have finally cracked this little beast & will soon be designing for production once again. Let’s hope nothing stops us in our tracks this time & we can get the JBE on sale by the end of the year. Fingers Crossed

Mark Webb Backflips Ace50

Ok, the first trick in this totally astonishing BMX edit is not pulled on a BMX. Webbie pulls a backflip on an ACE50... then goes on to totally shut down the whole BMX world AGAIN (probably forever). He will certainly go down in history as one of the most influential & creative BMX Pro's that ever lived. Be prepared to hit rewind a few hundred times to actually get your head around this....
