So this post has to be one of the largest photo posts i think i have ever posted on steem! 735 Photos!!! (i hope the blockchain can handle it haha)

Last weekend was Round 4 of the Mid Sussex Motocross Summer Championship and also a very special memorial race in memory of one of the clubs riders who sadly passed away due to a racing incident.

Brad Hooper was a great kid and was the life and soul of the Youth Open group. To honour his memory each year the Youth Open do a lap of honour before the race day begins and also the club release balloons and have a moments silence. This is what being part of the motocross family is all about and nothing shows that more than the effect is has on everyone what something bad happens. It's something any parent would struggle to deal with and i would not wish it on my worst enemy but with the help and support of a family club like this you can make sure those memories are good ones and support each other going forward. He died doing something he loved which is more than most of us will get to say. Pick out the positives and remember the good things.

The pictures were taken by #factorysteemit sponsored rider Brad Clements and there are a LOT of them. So grab a coffee and enjoy the show guys.
