Agreed
The last thing i want to see when I go to the bikshow is big name riders hurt themselves trying something thats at their limit, and the up and coming riders being limited to all the smaller stuff.
Last years course was really good, lots of obvious lines but with the skill and inventiveness of the riders loads more lines began to appear. If there are obsticals the riders will find ways of putting on a good show - thats why there at the show.
Finally the rider line up in my opinion is excellent lots of different styles and lots of English riders :P. There are allways going to be riders we each want to see - I would like to see Dave Marshall there but others will want to see Wayne (for instance). Martin has been doing it for years and seems to have a pretty good method of working out who should be there so I am happy to go with the decision he makes.
well done on consulting the forum Martyn even if you ignore all the comments it makes us feel good to be asked. :P
