For those of you who have never been, Dirt Quake is the flat track equivalent of Wacky Races on speed. An crazy action packed weekend of both pro & amateur flat track racing where anyone and everything can be entered, with racing in fancy dress being the order of the day (our personal faves were the Clutch Customs boys racing in full teenage mutant ninja turtles garb).
We rode out on the scenic route from London with the Alex Grant, The Shop Customs boys & the lovely Bradley of Dark Arts coffee & spent the weekend generally causing trouble in a campsite by riding whatever we could get our grubby hands on. We had a bloody ball! If you weren't there this year make sure you don't miss it next year!
Massive thanks to the guys at the DTRA & SIDEBURN MAGAZINE for putting on such a great weekend!

If you haven't seen her work yet check out the amazing Toria Jaymes instantly! As art director of Stay Outside Studio she designs & paints everything from motorbike tanks to walls all over London. Recently she came & painted a motocross inspired wall mural for the lucky lads at The Shop Customs. I think you'll agree its bloody RAD!
Check out her incredible world & other works here at Stay Oustide Studio.

Start slow, go in circles, crash a bit, pick up yourself up, pick up speed, crash a bit more, put on steel shoe, hop on a 450, pray to God, look straight, throttle back, go fast and turn left........
What an amazing day at the first DTRA ladies flat track event at Rye house speedway. There were smiles all round (even when some corners ended in eating dirt), new friends made and some inspired ladies running home to buy more kit for the next one ....now excuse me whilst I go look on eBay for a flat track bike.
A special thanks to @cobuilt_anthony, @leahtokove37 .... And all the gang at the DTRA
