Gambo95 Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 1 hour ago, Normski said: As expected with so much going on elsewhere plus BSN probably swayed a few to stay in and watch it . Berwick crowds are always hard to gauge with such a big stadium to fill. With 5 League meetings left at home and Glasgow,Edinburgh& Workington still to come we are guaranteed decent crowds when they come visiting. It was nice to see a few Scorpions fans there last night. Who else do Berwick have at home? Only other one I can think that needs to race at Berwick is Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s next to impossible to replace Bjork on that average. I can’t think of anyone on a 4 point average who could score what he has been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2ohh Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 HI , this is not a trick question . the foam/bean bag barrier , it that not out of date yet . i personaly dont see any kind of help to riders when they hit the bags at high speed . just like a bean bag that you sit on , the beads break down and become a hard mass and in my way of thinking offer very little or no means of absorbing the impact of a rider . it just seemslike a solid wall ..... .happy to be put right on this matter . thanks .

It is FIM approved and is obviously not out of date. Ps It was well tested by Jason Edward’s a couple of weeks ago and passed.

Where i stand Luke Harrison hit the fence almost leg first at speed and was able to walk away from it so it is doing its job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went out of date in the winter I believe, so was taken out, improved/fixed/re beaned whatever was done to it, and refitted. It’s definitely better than an air fence in my opinion having watched plenty crashes at plenty tracks, although of course both have pros and cons, depends how you hit it etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
