New School Racing / Re: 2025 Race Blog - Year 9 - Still Lunging for the Line!
« Last post by Mikku on December 29, 2025, 12:58 PM »With Santa having put his feet up for another year and me sat here with a sore back after an overly enthusiastic, pre-Christmas session at the skate park, it’s time to wrap-up this 2025 race blog.
This year I made it to 10 races - six at Joetsu in Niigata, three at Oizumi in Osaka and one at Gorilla Park in Saitama. Not as many or as varied as last year but I also had quite a few pump track sessions and even more at the skate park, so did plenty of BMXing overall. I also raced three different bikes, starting off on the Redline, switching back to the GT then giving the Quamen its race debut before going back to the Redline! It’s taken me a while to get used to the longer lines of the latter but am now feeling more comfortable on it, so will continue with that next year.
Talking of 2026, there are potentially some big changes afoot, which may see me having a different local track. I was also hoping to make another trip to the States but USABMX recently announced some rule changes for foreign riders which has kind of knocked that idea on the head. I may be visiting the UK though, so as one door closes, another one opens. Whatever happens, I’ll continue to keep the RADBMX flag flying in my tenth season of racing!

Same! I have other hobbies and interests (snowboarding, cars, motorsports) but BMX in one form or another always rises to the top.

It's funny because in 2018 I was riding park for the first time ever. All of a sudden I got old fast and the arthritis set in.
Now? well thankfully I have always been a bit of a nerd so computers are one of my passions. Like, big, showy water cooled builds and so on. And gaming of course, never got bored of that. I also take great pride in my stereo system and surround etc. I also like carpentry but alas like BMX I think this year will be my last hurrah at that too. Nowadays I have a CNC router I make stuff with. Mostly computer stuff.
I'm also going to get back into "Lego". Well, knock off Lego. I bought me a 4500 piece kit to build a roller coaster. Fully functional it is too ! as soon as I get back home after Christmas I shall begin on that.

Still, I follow YouTube channels about it, I pour over retailer websites...I think it is almost inevitable that I take the plunge. However it is frightfully expensive and I don't have much cash.

I do a lot of lego now to keep the grey matter ticking over.
I know a lot of people are doing fishing. Just chilling and having a few Beers.
