WITH snow all around Scotland it was amazing to have a sunny start to the day without snow or ice at Lochhouses Farm, East Lothian, for the Melville MXC Club Motocross.Due to the reputation of this event 180 riders entered with competitors from as far away as Ireland, and all the Adult solo classes were full before the closing date once again.
Stuart Flockhart came out of retirement having watched as a spectator at this event recently, the ex British and World motocross competitor won the first race ahead of Craig Trew. In the second race Craig Trew took the lead and Stuart had an almighty crash that more or less finished his day. Craig Trew won the remaining two races and the overall with a cool and calculating style that has seen him win several races at Lochhouses.
In the B's Neil Chatham continued his winning ways taking all three class wins with John Skelton second and Alan Kirtley third.
In the Adult C's there were several crashes on a jump that ultimately had to be cut out as it developed a big kick for the inexperienced riders. One rider who will remain nameless could have won a gold medal for diving at the Olympics with the triple forward roll he managed on his KTM. Thankfully the rider walked away unharmed. Danny Stewart won the C Class for the first time having avoided the carnage. John Moody won the second race finishing second overall with Brendon McDonagh
third.
The MX 2 Class was won by Jake Boyes who won two of the three races, Mark Perfect finished second and Fraser Flockhart moving up a class on his new KTM 150 took third.
