2020 BMX Magazine coverage

Issue 27 of 2020 BMX Magazine has some coverage from the old school BMX gathering held at Ashmore BMX track back in October 2007. This was the same day we had the RSABOUT Jurassic Classic and the one photo from the race shows Gary Winmill, Glynn Hicks and me battling it out. Well, Gary and Glynn might have been battling as I was just hanging on for dear life on an old looptail PK Ripper with tuff wheels and dodgy gumwall tyres that had about 35psi in them. Yep, that’s right, 35 psi so talk about squishy. I’d already blown two tubes just from trying to get a decent pressure in them.

Now can anyone tell me why I was riding with my fingers on the front brake lever? My only guess is that the brakes were so poor I was hoping both of them might give me half a chance to stop. All jokes aside, would I do another race? Definitely.
