Cadders Hill - Lyng - Motocross

My first time watching Motocross since I was a boy, and it was called "Scrambling" in those days. A lovely way to spend a day, especially since the weather was so kind.



To give an idea, this is a long, tight left bend which seemed to have a preferred line that the rider in front is taking. However, as the following rider, and subsequent picture shows, it wasn't the only line.





And following this ...

They have to ride off the edge of the earth (well, that's what it looks like from where I was standing).
It was all go - and, yes, I really was that close to the action.
Close racing. And some spills, though surprisingly few.
