Very Important World Champs Sewing Machine News!
Pin it to win it! Bessie and her sewing machine will be at Leogang to patchup, take in , repair and sew on badges to your race kit!
It’s a lot to take in but it seams like a good idea even if it might have you in stitches, I know Needles has cottoned on to this…bdm tsch (I’ll get my coat)
(Editor Mike Rose says: “Surely you need to get pin it, stitched up, bobbins, reeling around, taken in by it all, patched up, hemmed in, suits you, etc, in there?”)
Bessie’s shirt alterations.
Bessie (aka Ben Reid’s mum) and her Wee Phaff sewing machine ready to go. If you need your team jersey stream lined and tailored to fit you for Worlds, or if you need any thing else patched up, knee pads, pants etc. just swing past the Dirt Norco Pits and speak to Ben or Bessie herself. Bessie arrives on 29th and will be raring to go!
Me: “How’s things Bessie?”
Bessie: “Sew sew”
Billy, your puns have me in stitches
I’m surprised she has enough time free from making Pies to do tailoring too!
Very punny hahaha
She needs to take that hat in an inch or two
I dont wanna be a prick, but did we need an entire thread just for some puns. At this rate the whole site will come thimbling down.
Eoin, good point (not of needle), but this again highlights the conflict and denial in our sport.
Downhill is a time trial, every 10th, 100th and 1000th of a second can determine a win or a loss. Yet the riders continue to wear clown parachutes more akin to freeriding slopestylers.
When is the sport going to wake up and realise that we need more people like Bessie and her Wee Phaff to highlight the incongruity of speed versus baggy clothing!
Cotton on people!
This is the best thing to ever happen at the Worlds. Bessie might even throw in a cupa scruff if you ask nicely!!
Fit! A really good fit can be guaranteed!
Good fit is the best
