robonatomz Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Evening sportz fanz, Just a quick up date on the world cup. The trial at Graz consisted of 6 Big level zones, rocks, logs, cars, skipz pipes and cable drums Rob, Aust, Andrei Burton and Slinger made qualification to the semi final (in the pissing rain) In the semi the sections got alot harder again. Danny Butler finished joint 4th with Thomas Ohler to qualify for the final. The rest of the brits stuggled with the dangerous sections. In the final the heavens opened and the trial was a wash out. Some of the sections I thought were nigh on imposible in the dry yet Kenny and Vincent managed to go round on 0 an 1 respectivley(it was absolutley insanly dificult and dangerous in the rain). Danny finished 7th in the final. It was a good atmosphere though out the whole event esspecially within the "British Team" who were constantly cheered and suported each other. Today there was a seperate trial where Ashley Butler won the Under 13 catagory after a tense run off which eventually went up two riding catagories. Well done Ash.

Gaz M Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Thanks for the link felix, those sections looked super hard, i think everyone knows how slippy pallets and logs (wood in general really) get in the wet, well done to the british team, hopefully we'll do well at the worlds too :), just been looking through a few more sections and it's good to see the comp wasnt completely filled with monty & koxx good to see a few megamo's, vario's, onza's nocking about, kenny and benito are as usual the winners, seems vincent and marco are always one step behind kenny and vincent (beating them every once in a while) cant wait to see them all ride at addingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurra Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah, Vracing is just the new xtp painted un blue. VRacing = Vincent racing? Oh well, it looks bloody nice. I bet Kenny Belly :shifty: will be this years world champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 twas a mint comp.. cant wait for germany next week (Y)... comp was well hard and the weather sucked big time !!!... i cleaned the skip section twice in the semi final twice but got a time penalty point on one of them... i cleaned the rock section in qualification 3 times and 4 the logs and got out the pipes for 2... this was enough to get me through the qualification.. if you go to a world cup you will see how hard it is to actually qualify sometimes !

JIX Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I also notice that cassio wasnt riding the scorpa. Maybe didnt get on with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurra Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I thouhgt it had a bb rise too? ← yes it does, thats why ive said the "new" xtp. Xtp version two has been about for around 1 ½ - 2 years now so it isn't really new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I also notice that cassio wasnt riding the scorpa. Maybe didnt get on with it? ← he said that hes still devoloping it.. so he will ride the caisso for now until the scorpa is totally finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
