RYMXC held the Second Round of the BSMA Welsh Championships on Sunday 15th June 2008 at their new ‘Neuadd’ track near Pen-y-bont.  The track is an old track which was raced on many years ago and thanks to the hard work of Mr Ray Collard it has now got some fantastic jumps and lots, lots more!!  The weather was dry and very warm all day with riders having a great experience of riding the new track in great conditions!

The Autos were very keen to get out onto that huge track with Brooklyn ‘The Brookster’ Evans taking every start with ease and pulling away from the rest of the field straight away and absolutely destroying the jumps flying like a golden eagle.  As usual Brookster had all his family supporting him and a very proud mum as he took home all three race wins! Ryan ‘The Rocket’ Rowlands had some unlucky starts but soon battled through to be a front runner as usual showing he carriers great speed and ability taking all second place wins and he was like superman over the jumps!!  A well-deserved third overall went to Jamie ‘Javelin’ Evans who had a very strong ride and with an excellent start in the first race putting his big cousin ‘The Brookster’ to sweat!  Well local rider Iwan Mills was a star yet again finishing in a very proud fifth position trying so hard and having some great battles with rest of the pack.  Ben Evans and Harry Edmondson pushed each other to the limit while Cei Evans had a great third in the last race of the day, while unlucky Iwan Roberts landed badly in race one off the jump but did ride again in race three.

Juniors were out next with some very quick boys indeed!  Birthday boy Luke Craig worked extremely hard out in front pushing himself all the way after battling with Kieron Cooke and Jack Edmondson all day taking home first overall with great determination!  Finishing in second position was Kieron Cooke who always pushes the field to the limit taking two wins and travelling at great speed.  Jack ‘Fast Eddy’ Edmondson had one second place and two third places taking great lines and showing a fantastic natural ability on his 65cc. Ever improving Alex ‘Bubba’ Walton had an excellent result finishing in fourth with three amazing starts and trying to hold off the top three for as long as he could. Wild Will Jones loved the new track and it showed as he finished in fifth overall after battling all day with the mid pack but came out on top!  Only girl rider Adelaide Watkins had a very consistent ride and carried great speed and strength.  Also never giving up and really enjoying the track was ‘Cool Customer’ Dylan Leach who was clearing the jumps with ease.

The top five in the Inter-85 small wheel were all very close with nobody giving up the fight!  Ciran Williams worked hard all day to finish in first overall after taking all three race wins with amazing style, there is no one to touch him! But not too far away this time was Adam James having his best result to date after riding out of his skin with a great display finishing in second overall after battling hard with Ben Nicholls, Joel Hughes and Hywel Mills all very close indeed! Ben had a brilliant second place in race two while Joel ‘The Joker’ had some excellent starts and was hungry for a good result! Hywel Mills had a well deserved third place in the first race and rode hard all day piling on the pressure all the time. Josh Ford and Dan Criag pushed each other to breaking point as they loved the track! Matthew Betinson and Matthew Rowlands also turned up the heat with some great lines.

Inter-Open class was very exciting to watch with positions changing all the time. Coming out on top was ever determined Aled Thomas and it was good to see him back on his bike after an unlucky run at Moelfre. Aled had two first positions and a second but he didn’t get it all his own way as 411 Ryan Thomas and 211 Adam Morris pushed him in every race with a good display for the spectators! All three riders really powering around the track and enjoying the jumps!! Luke Morgan had a good day finishing in fourth overall with a consistent ride trying hard to catch up with the top three.  Billy Johnson finished in a very impressive fifth overall after battling with Daryl Prisk and Will Nicholls and Billy’s dad was over the moon!  Eillott Cockburn, Sam Newell, Lewis Jones and Ben Davies were all within reach of each other as they got used to riding the new fast flowing track but they handled it very well and were getting quicker every lap!
Great girl power with riders Jody Anmer, Hannah Hope and Rhain George as all three set themselves a very high standard of racing! Well done to you girls keep it up!

There was a strong line up in the seniors and Dale Evans was the man who sorted it out, with an outstanding ride and nobody to touch him, oh boy was he quick! Dale took all three race wins at great speed, while Ryan Davies finished in a confident second with Dan Evans just two points behind in third both riding on the edge and giving the crowd something thing to cheer about! In the front pack was talented Nick Morris who had a brilliant third in the last race and challenging Nick were Liam Peryman and Tom ‘Farter’ Nicholls always on the watch to blow off round the track whenever possible taking the quick inside lines! Dean Plumstead upped his game and gained more confidence in each race trying to test Adam Kiel and Shaun Probert who also rode very well all finishing with a nice smile on their faces after a hard day! Elliott Friel was having a good day until his clutch decided to stick and wouldn’t move, and was unable to continue to finish his last lap!

The experienced AMX riders were let out the gate last with Paul ‘Fast Eddy’ Edmondson showing the younger adults he’s not to be messed with getting all three whole-shots and riding in a class of his own, even having time to wink and wave to the lap scorers as he went passed the shed, sending the girls wild!!!!!  Finishing in second place was Sam Jones who really impressed the lap scorers (especially Mrs Hope) as he tried hard to catch Fast Eddy with shearer guts and determination! Luke Davies rode his heart out finishing in a well deserved third overall after battling with Cool Chris Morris who always pushes himself to the edge! Chris ‘Wally’ Walton took home fifth overall showing everyone there’s life in the old boy yet!!  Gerwyn Exon and Mark Evans had some really exciting battles both putting in a great days work and loving the new venue!

We hope everyone enjoyed riding the new track and look forward to seeing lots of riders at our next meeting which is on 6th July 2008.
A big thank you to all Marshalls!
