Title: Different sort of BMX race
Post by: Longun on May 08, 2009, 03:39 PM

Dunno if this has been posted on here but I came across this;
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s53/kiddcougar/Brick2Brixsmall.jpg)

It's  a point to point race for 20" wheels only, from Brick lane to Brixton skatepark....ending with a bmx jam at the park, with BBQ, beer, music, and a whole lot of bikes hopefully.
It'll be the first race of this kind in the uk as most bmx events are either street or dirt based....this will be a flat out sprint through the streets of London.
The idea is to cap it at 150 riders....with the first 100 to get to the elephant and castle grabbing a ticket that allows them to race the rest of the way to Brixton skatepark after a little rest and regroup.
It's gonna be pretty mad and hopefully a whole lot of fun!

So how far is the race?

And are the streets being cordoned off first or do you have to fight the traffic too?  ???

would be a laugh though....
