Guildford Comp Ah, Guildford comp.. always a pleasure, never a chore. Guildford comp is always a cool day. This year it was called 'Attack of the Space Monkeys' or something? Not sure why, but enough of that nonsense. After almost all of the massive claiming they were going to enter, only two actually did (well I spose thats better than the one that did last year). First up was the fruitboot comp, but we missed that (shame). Then came the bmx comp. Mayo pulled out at the last minute due to injury, but we still got to see Forge, Merlin, Gaz and Guffrey enter. All rode well but the honours went to Gaz, deservedly so. Back rails were destroyed by him and Gus, well done boyos. Next up was under 16s skate. Which lil' Cliff of ye Woking Crew won if I remember right. Well done. Over 16s skate should have been where we represented the most, but only Ad and Mike entered (and Mike had to be pushed into it). Both put in good runs, but unfortunately Ad couldnt hold onto his crown, which was torn from his head by Jack from Farnham. Local hero Ben Coughlan sneaked second place. Highest ollie was as tightly contesed as last year, with Jack, Justin and another guy (sorry) putting in big ol' hops. But, again it came down to two, this year it was our own Ad again amd Goleta 7 new boy, Ian Maynard. Ad won finally with a huge leap of 36 inches (now thats representation for Regiment - nice work Ad). Best trick was last. Anyone could enter this. Mike and Ad both did again but neither pulled their trick. Highlights were Cliff ollieing from the big quarter into the original one (which can be seen on Come This Far) and Jacks huge Indy out of the metal flyoff into the driveway. But Guffrey took the honours with a massive abubaca on the back rail of the mini, which Mayo attempted the year before. Get up there. The most important thing of the day, however, was lil' Frog winning back some indy pride in the indy vs tensor sumo wrestle. He defeated young Brad by a triumphant three pins to none, well done Frog. click
