First practice day was alright. Got an hour to walk down the track, i decided to walk down it, bloody bad idea that was. after walking down it i wasnt keen to ride down it, it looked real steep in quite a lot of the places. Once i had done one run down the track, it wasnt as bad as i thought it was. Decided not gonna walk down any more tracks untill ive done at least one run of it, as its very off putting.
Second practice day, it started raining, it was fine in the wet untill it got all turned up and became all slushy. Didnt do much pratice runs as i kept getting cold and i was extremly wet as i went for a swim in the noce big puddle that had developed at the bottem of the track just before the finish line (didnt relise how deep it was untill i went over the bars into it. aparently it looked cool), brakes werent working properly as well (later found out when i took my bike into the shop when i got back to welly that the pistons had worn out).
Race day for me was bad, kept crashing and riding really slow which caused me to fall off even more as i couldnt keep stable. ended up coming last by a shit load. 6 out of 6
Personaly in the end i didnt like the nelson track, i liked it in the dry but hated it in the wet.
