Hia Barry has sent me a short clip of Dave's amazing soapbox crash at Scammo. It cuts out just after the start of the crash, I assume as the camraman runs for his life. Aparently Dave rolled 2 or 3 times and from the look of the vid it wasn't slow. How he managed to walk away with only bruised ribs, cuts to his arm and a bad neck (he lands on his bloody head!!!) I don't know, but well done, big props and hope to see you there again. So, wanna see it? Click here!Joel

Hi guys.
Have been offline for the past 12 days, Have changed isp and it f...ed my settings up. Glad to hear everyone enjoyed my crash, the cuts and bruises have healed but the ribs are still a bit sore. Barry and myself are busy building a new soapbox. Should have it ready for Scammo re-run. Any news on whether Eastbourne ( Beachyhead )will be on?

Hi trikes,
Crash was caused by rear axle bending and locking brakes on wheels which stepped rear end out. Tried to correct but due to adverse camber nearside wheels were already off the floor. The front wheels did self centre when hands were taken off wheel. Have now built new soapbox which is lots better. Will post some pics when get chance. keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks to guys at scammo the other weekend, was ace. Mansel Lacey is on this weekend but cant make it. Will be at Richards Castle next month.

Hi guys.
Sorry not been online just recently, been busy re working soapbox. Got an event at Richards Castle on sun 8th. Should get some good footage and pics from there so will get them posted on here soon. Will be promoting the website trying to get more people interested and hopefully we can get another run in at Scammo before Eastbourne.
