Great gates session

Had a really good gates session today. It rained for the first 20 minutes and then was sunny 😀.

The track was a bit soft as we had heavy rain all night last night and some more this morning. On a positive note there was almost no wind so it was all good.

I started off doing a couple of pump laps followed by a few full speed laps while the gate was being brought up to the track from the container in the car park.

I then helped set the gates up and then did about 10-15 gates where I went flat out until after the tabletop on the second straight.

I jumped the tabletop every time so I was pretty happy with that. I also got my manuals back on the first straight after casing the first few.

After I had helped pack up the gate I went home, washed my bike and then had a shower and put the dirty washing on and then took the Yess to crucial to get a service and a new chain.

I am going for a half link chain this time to be able to slam the back wheel as far forwards as possible to help with the manuals.

I am also getting new grips as I am putting the old ones on the Thrill which I picked up from being built up.

I am pretty pleased with the Thrill
 It definitely needs spraying as the aluminium is pretty thrashed but it will do for now.

My friend who bought my son's Yess frame is going to take it to be powder coated in a couple of weeks and I have already said that he can take my Dialled frame to be stripped and powder coated at the same time when he is cool with. I have decided that I am going to get the dialled either Matt black or Matt grey but I haven't decided which yet. I may go with Matt black and then get the thrill painted Matt grey as that is the Thrill team colour next year.

I will think it over.

Here is a photo of the Thrill as it is at the moment:

The forks look a bit strange at the moment but the are just temporary until I buy the Yess forks for my Yess next month then the black eleven forks that are currently on the Yess will go onto the Thrill and the landing gear's will go with the dialled frame once it is powder coated Matt black. Hopefully by this time next month the dialled will be ready and I can build it up while the Thrill gets stripped down to go away to be powder coated.
