16 years later Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Ok so the DJ ride is in MBUK and thought that not that many of you buy MBUK because it's well rather shitWell hear goesMore than 100 trials riders gathered at Abingdon United Football Club in Oxfordshire recently for the fifth annual David Jones (DJ) memorial ride. DJ was a popular rider in the UK Trials community who was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident in 2004, and the event that his parents, brother Sam and other friends and riders organised in his memory has grown into something very special.The day brought sunny skies, a fantastic atmosphere and a varied course for the riders. This paved the way for some excellent riding, and it wasn't long before Jack Meek and Ali Clarkson had spotted a technical line from the inch-wide lip of an upturned skip, up 90 degrees to a cable reel, and after a few attempts, the line was nailed by Ali. D's dad, Charlie, then led everyone up to the memorial garden at Fizharry's School, which has been built and maintained with funds created from the sale of the Fluffy Bunny Movement T-shirts and hoodies. Finished in 2006, the garden has really flourished, and provides an everlasting tribute to Dave. Back at the Football ground, riders were busy modifying the course to allow some jaw-dropping moves and mind-boggling technical. These included a launch ramp up to the top of a gigantic up-turned cable reel, and an even bigger drop-gap between two other cable reels.The day was a massive success, and credit must go to everyone who helped organise the event, everyone who travelled to remember DJ, and to Abingdon United Football Club for allowing the venue to be used once again.^^^^^^^^that’s what MBUk had to say^^^^^^^^Hope you like Thanks Bruce Edited August 3, 2008 by 15 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
