Red Hook Criterium London

Intense? Fuck, I remember when I went for my first hot lap and I was sprinting towards turn 1. Just before the corner there was a small chicane with a bump in the road. My body was tense when I hit the bump and my back wheel skipped in the air and out to the right. It seemed like forever, but I landed it to audible gasps from the crowd and carried on hard into the first corner like a boss. If love to know if anyone caught that on camera. Probably not :'(

giofox...wow i was lurking there for a bit, rider seemed allright after a few others piled in.

tb is that the footage from the chrome team rider, about 21 seconds, start up to corner 2....almost

If thats a taster, looking forward to the full film cut :)

Some sound people have come out of Ohana fixed tho. ELF are mostly sound, if a little try hard. But that's the nature of the fixee world.

Yep that's me, thought there'd be a fair few LFGSS'ers but I guess everyone had their own team allegiances, hopefully next year we can get a few people together and fly the forum flag high. That jersey gets a fair bit of love at races and IMO is a cut above any other jersey I've worn, Milltag and @6pt did an awesome job.

Cheers for the link to more pics, some great shots in there…is it alright to send a few showing the bike to Orlowski?

Fucking hell, so fast.

What fun day out. Pleasure to meet quite a few of you, and thanks Ho for the support in qualifying. me and my buddy luke had fun working together and would have been in the last chance race. I was a bit gutted that it was cancelled but also glad to leave in one piece. I was number 230 riding an orange Cinelli if anybody got any pics.

No worries. It's been a while since I've used my camera so a few shots where out of focus, but I have no problem you using them.

No worries, I was there early as I knew a few other guys would be racing and I know how important cheering is to motivate riders to keep pushing forward mentally.

Awesome day out. I miss the 'rep' button!

Well done @Scoot and @Yankee_Shit_Bag. The Thundercats also did a great job - its a shame about the 'Last Chance' being cancelled.

Posted some pics on FB . Took a lot of pics going to take a while to sort and upload the rest.

One of the Bristol riders, mens quali group 5 (or first lot out)

Where you place? 😀

@853Superfly thats me ha

Nowhere. Xavier and I proved that testers can't go round any corner tighter than a roundabout with any speed. Xav made a considerable dent in corner 5 however. Great day out though, and good to put a lot of faces to names.

I'm Owen,

I Don't really post that often but Yes i crashed hard and it hurts! Currently can't turn my neck left!

Just joined @eastlondonFixed @Forty4Sixteen but been riding with ELF, SPFG guys, FGL guys and forum rides for a few years now.

One Big Happy Fixed Family!!

Thanks to all the support from Forumungers - Amazing day and hopeful the start of more big things in the best city in the world!

P.s - I have my crash on GoPro so watch this space...

Great day out, respect and congrats to all that made it. Someone crashed in front of my during lap 3 of the qualifier and I couldn't go around him so went down. My front wheel buckled by hitting his back, hope he's ok. After that I tried to solo a fast lap but got red flagged on two attempts. My last lap was my last chance and I managed to make it my fastest but I obviously it wasn't enough. Nonetheless I learned a lot from this and had a great time cheering on those that made it through.
