Margate Beachcross 2014 – So I covered my first Beachcross at the beginning of March, hopefully it wont be my last!<\/h2>\n

I was actually covering it as part of a press job<\/a> for a paper, but since its technically motorsport I thought I would put it here.<\/p>\n

It was held over the weekend of 8th and 9th of March and is heralded as the QRA Margate International Beachcross<\/a><\/strong>. Basically a motorcross course is constricted on the main sands at Margate and then its ridden hard for two days! couple this with unseasonably sunny weather and you have the ingredients for a fantastic event.<\/p>\n

The format was split into Quads and Solos. Then further into Pro and Amateur classes. With a mixed class for juniors as well<\/p>\n

\u00a0The nature of the racing is that pretty much the course changes with every race, as its not re-graded at all. There was also a strong French entry so racing was fierce and action packed all over 12 or so laps of the course.<\/p>\n

In the solos French rider\u00a0Arnaud Degousee <\/b>was in predictably flawless form in one race on the Sunday actually lapping the rest of the entire field! Apparently he hasn’t been beaten on sand for nearly 4 years!<\/p>\n

The action is so fast and furious that stood in the middle on more than one occassion felt dizzy!<\/p>\n
