Post Edited: 16.12.2013 @ 23:09 PM by DaveMeer Finally got to see the latest instalment of this years UKs, n really enjoyed it, nice to see Glen keeping the events nice n varied. Got me thinking about some of the events done at the UKs over the past 10 years. I've done most of them and think my top three are the car roll, fleet of Hummers pull, and holding two Citroen Saxos for the longest time. What are other people's favourites? | |||

| Sorry to hear you are retiring buddy, you are a genuine gentleman of the iron game (in all its forms) I know I'll miss seeing your pressing posts and using them for inspiration at the gym! Gutted I wasn't fit enough to compete along side you at the Mids now. Keep in touch brother, and weather 160k or 100k you are always welcome over mine for a sesh buddy. Look after yourself and love to the family. 😊 | |||

| Was a good day today all!! Had WSM athletes Eddy Hall and Alex Curletto as guest athletes and Jay Pateman, Luke Fullbrook, Wayne Smith and Karl Allcock competing. Unfortunately due to a lot of illness and injurys in the mids this year we had a massive number of lads withdraw (myself included) So could have just been a formality to qualify but pride and a fighting spirit took over and the lads all bust a gut to be top dog. Over all Ed came first and Alex second but between the lads actually competing today it was Jay Luke Wayne Karl I''ll ask Paul to post full results and points later but was a good day with no injurys!! Hope those that came to watch enjoyed it!! Big thanks to all my crew including Paul, Sharon, Kerry, Laura, Andy, Ben, Dick, Mikey and big Grey Plimbley  D | |||

| Just a quick note on running order, all names of attending athletes will be put into a bag. Names will then be drawn for the first event. The second event will begin with the second name drawn with the first going to the back Etc Example Event 1 Rod Jane Freddy Zippy George Bungle Event 2 Jane Freddy Zippy George Bungle Rod Etc Ps you can decide amongst yourself who's who tho!! Lol!! | |||

Post Edited: 12.04.2013 @ 05:52 AM by DaveMeer Just wanted to put that I've ran the qualifiers the past 5 years with events that I have either done in Belfast or were in the UK final that year. Belfast is infamously heavy, with Glen loving brutal static events. As a result the past 4 UK champions have all been static beasts (Glen,Terry, Jimmy and Ed) I have always argued the qualifiers should represent the final. Sure there are lads who can move like lightning with decent weight and have tremendous strength endurance. However, and I'm sure all those that have been to the 3 day UK final will agree, that the faster, more athletic lads fall by the wayside and the static boys progress. If you look at finalists from the uks past along with the winners you have lads like, Spencer Hyland, Brian Irwin, Dale Norris, Paul "man bear" Carter, Rob Frampton, Mark Westerby, Lloyd Renalds and Chris Gearing. None of these lads are ever going to win a sprint completion yet have had tremendous success in the heaviest, most brutal comp (in my opinion) this county has. Eddy is getting bigger and stronger each year and the only way we will get lads to challenge him is to make the qualifiers produce lads that can push the big man in the final. Hope you can all see the method in my madness!!  | |||
