BMX Games update
Pretty much the whole team is injured right now. The trip has taken it’s toll on us all. Yesterday was a huge day of sun burn, heat stroke, oh & some riding too.
Alex Hiam crashed hard on a double whip over the box in practice so didn’t get to ride in the expert finals. He is OK though so all good.
Peta Shepherd rode girls park & did well enough to get 2nd place even with a bar end to the stomach the night before.
Ryan & myself flew the flag in pro park. Ryan rode well enough to make the finals with some original lines that no one else did. He destroyed his back wheel & had to use mine on his second run & went for a double backie but slightly looped out. Ryan didn’t ride the finals though due to his 3 broken toes amongst other injuries. Smart move I say.
I just flopped around & did a few nose picks. I can hardly move today with the bruises I have from the trip. Feeling like an old man for sure, haha.
Simon O’Brien rode the pro flatland contest which was really cool to watch. It was good to see a legit flatland comp in Australia take centre stage with a really cool atmosphere. Simon rode well enough to score 2nd place. Stoked.
Happy Australia Day to everyone as well !!
Yo yo !!
