BMX RACE last weekend

Myself and Stevo went to Cheddar to race the first and second rounds of the British NPS. This was our first BMX race in 24 years and we didn't come last although we are a lot slower than we were in the 80's.
Huge turnout 500+ riders, boys and girls from from 5 years to 56 years, great craic.

Ireland's Kelvin Batey took a second in the Elites after a big smash, this guy is some rider!!!!

Here is a video.. (Watch for Kelvin (in Red) "Overtaking" Marcus Bloomfield on the last berm to take second), also look at the bike on the ground with carbon forks!!!!

well done Eamon !

Great stuff Eamonn!
What are the rules in BMX? The bikes/wheels always look too small for the riders and they look undergeared too! You can see why the kids like it though!

20" wheels and some kids ride 24" far from undergeared its all about the gate start and short burst out of corners.

they are BMXs ...BMXs are not MTBS or Road bikes..fackin eejitgickfeckwallop****titarse !!

That's a deadly video, I remember a mate of mine used to race a redline back in the day, it was about the same weight as one of my tuff wheels (...or not so tuff wheels when the axle snapped on a little jump).
