Very nice, but you will be wanting some kneesliders very soon, the ones like they sell here, the Adult/Senior Zocchi Slider for £30. Postage is £4 or if you order something else and the total is over £40 postage is free. I'd use those in preference to normal knee sliders with some strap on velcro bit.

You'll also find it lots easier if you have your feet with the sole of your foot against the minimoto, like in this picture. If you lean into corners with your feet the way you do in those photos your toes will catch the ground and you'll crash.

I have been trying that but the Blata 3.4 is so small I have problems bending my ankles that much, I'm gonna try raising the seat hight slightly. Doesnt help I broke my ankle about 8months ago either.

I still managed to get the tyres right over to the limit tho but I was deffo missing loads of corner speed, But I wasnt competitive so I'm not to fussed about beating everyone atm
