Bruce at the ACT titles 2008

13 March 2008 by james and filed in BMX, Events

Bruce travelled down to the ACT Titles held in late February with his two boys. He was probably the favourite to take the 40-44 Men’s Cruiser class and was leading in the final when he went down. Don’t know the full story yet, however, I imagine there was a bit of disappointment. Perhaps he was think he should have worn the rsabout top in the final rather than the motos. Oh well, maybe stick to the skateparks on the DK hey Bruce?

Thanks to Tony/Renee for the use of the photo.

Jurassic Classic Old School BMX racing footage

7 March 2008 by james and filed in BMX, Events

I have finally put the footage together in a half decent edit. I had a ball racing in the rsabout jurassic classic even if I wasn’t that fast. It was an open wheel race, although most rode 20″ bikes, and the riders had to be 35 years or older and the bikes had to be pre 1986 with exceptions made for tyres, grips and seats. Great to see the huge Haro number plates and a few turned up in their old shool gear.

Thanks to Gary Winmill for organising the event, Pete Cooper for the use of The Porkers’ music and the Ashmore BMX Club.

It’s over six minutes and the file is about 41MB so you can grab the Quicktime version, view the larger YouTube version or watch the smaller one below.

There’s also some photos from the 3rd annual vintage bmx gathering that was held on the same day.
