What started out as an awesome day at the beach ended as an equally awesome day at the skate park. Ever since I went to the Backyard Jam in Hastings back in 1994 I’ve had a mild obsession with all things BMX. I was spoilt for choice in England because my cousin used to ride pro. This meant that every year I begged and pleaded for a press pass to some event for my birthday, which generally meant I was lucky enough to hang out with Steve McCann, Simon Tabron, Zach Shaw and other awesome riders.
In any case since I’ve been back in SA I haven’t had a chance to watch many BMXers in action so today was a nice change. One thing the skate park really needs to do is maybe split the park or create a smaller one for kids. I’m not sure what’s wrong with those parents but if my child kept wandering into the path of the better riders I’d have a heart attack. Children on mountain bikes, push bikes and scooters should stick to the promenade.
Hope you all had a good weekend. I’m preparing for the misery that is Carte Blanche to ruin my day.

Thanks. I got a ridiculous tan camping out on the wall waiting for people over the age of 10 to arrive.
