Recently I’ve gotten into BMX racing thanks to the guys over at Runnymede Rockets, mainly due to this was the team that The Girlie used to ride for before they disbanded the latter part of the 90s. But now they are making a revival along with their track that had been left to nature since the disbandment.
It’s been great helping them out and also has given me the bug to give BMX riding and (eventual) racing ago. It was only yesterday that I tried a 20” BMX and a cruiser around the track and it really took it out of me to the point I got half way round on my second go and got to the top of a ramp and decided to just stop peddling as I couldn’t get any more energy. Just means that I know have to take my running seriously and get a BMX to do some sprints on to get more energy!
As I’ve been developing their site for them I’ve also taken the liberty to capture some photos and videos of them and this video is my first go at capturing them on video and some on the fly editing with the iPhone Splice app.
I’m quite chuffed with that video despite issues with the sound…
But I’m looking forward to actually getting a bike at some point, just need to find a little black cruiser to ride on. I tried a 20” frame and it’s way too much work involved and I can no way sit on it (I can just about sit on a 24”). But hopefully in the near future I will take it up competitively! Probably not till the latter part of next season… if I’m any good.
