PRESS RELEASE FROM
BT (Ben Townley), Dated 7 July 1999
Hi guys, everything is great. Today was practice day and we all had two rides on the track. The track is AMAZING!!! It has a good set of whoops, two real BIG stepdowns, and a massive table top. Bike was running good but yet to master whoops.
PRACTICE #1
Started off 3rd, worked into 1st by end of lap 3. Mastered most jumps pretty easy but had trouble with a big stepdown before finish line. The down ramp on it is quite short but steep so timing needs to be perfect. Riding awesome, wicked cornerspeed but hard to be faster on whoops.
PRACTICE #2
Gate start, bit of wheel spin but managed to get to first turn first but passed by two on turn one. Passed into lead over big step down and pulled away. The sun is a pain as I finished my last practice at 5pm.
General
Riding is going great, Kane is about 2 sec slower, Metcallfe is fast. I have the fastest times in my class so far. Darren is having so much fun and doing an excellent job on the bike.
- - Yours in Motocross, Ben Townley
