Well I went over to St Annes today to see what all the fuss is about bmx. Eamon (hairoil) kindly showed me around the track and lent me a bike. Some lunatic jumps there, but the local lads make it look so easy. I stuck to the pump track and the basic level run which has a few small table tops. Just rolling them at first then getting a bit of air ( probably just an inch but it is a start) Eamon bullied a few young lads into giving me a run on their bikes so I could get a feel for the different types. Real relaxed atmosphere up there, everyone very friendly and welcoming from the younger kids up to the more grown up kids.
Many thanks to Eamon for showing me around. Think I could see myself doing more of this! :)
