Oakley Bandung 2007

What a trip! Great race atmosphere, great friends and a fast course albeit not too technical, very hard to go fast, to me at least (being 1st timer and all). Not to mention no push up!!!

ROAMers present: Bully, Yamm, Rizal & Amad + new ROAMer Fadzlee. Guest ROAMers: Man Boy and Is from Singapore.

We rode together, slept in same area, went out together +++

Also present were Project Maheez team of Choy Zure, Choy Linda, Choy Armijn, Choy Riesa and Choy Hon Chun, making it a most wonderful crowd!!! Tapirtuned was represented! (and made it to the podium too...

We ROAMed Kiara 14 Oct 2007

Today is good day to ride eventho its 2nd day of Hari Raya. But it was worth it. And it also marked my first DH session after 3 months of OFF SEASON.

Today the ROAMers , it was me n Rizal and joined by Wan Bullit, his brother, Tan The Whistler, Koh, Fadzlee Delmatic, other cool guys who did some all mountain riding as well.

Rizal brought his brother Amir for a photo shoot. It was cool. Later, Rizal will upload d pics.

For me, did some jumps, angel drop....but not yet test d wall ride n dirt drop. 1st ride, so I laid back a little not rushing things. The rest really thrashing it out. Still got time to prepare for Bandung. Just wanna concentrate on cornering and jumps.

Pity for Rizal tho, he crashed at the dirt drop and slide on the wooden bridge. Normal abrasion n cuts on the knee, courtesy of 661 Kyle Strait guards that slides off. So we called it a day after the incident.

Damaged assessment:
Broken Rear Hanger
Damaged XTR RD (not sure whether its still operational)

We will still be riding till thursday I think. Tomorrow 15 oct, its Kiara Hard Tail ROAM.

Keep on Riding, So Others May Ride.
