Proud Dad...little ripper

My best mate and riding buddy, Jago. We spent the weekend avoiding the weekend surf crowds descending on Sennen and headed to The Track at Portreath with a couple of friends. What an amazing place to develop your bike skills and great to see some other young riders from Sennen up there, even Chief Grommet Sashka, getting rad on a place full of jumps of all sizes, different lines and and is an amazing place to just have fun.

With round 1 of the South West Regional Championship next weekend at Burnham on Sea, we have spent the past few months training and practicing for our first season and this weekend was really about just enjoying riding like kids and not focussing on race lines and and techniques to win races, just getting some air and being a proud Dad to my little ripper.

Go Jago.

Yesterday was Jago's first day of Novice coaching at Cornwall BMX Racing Club. He did really well and considering his second week on the track he's getting quicker and more confident with every lap he does. I forgot how much fun BMX Racing is,  but considering that 1984 was probably the last time I raced, then a 30 year anniversary is not a bad time to get back into it. In terms of complimenting surfing, well there's no better way to keep fit that doing sprints and BMX is all sprinting, jumping, coordination, and focus; if you don't focus you fall off...hard!!! Thanks Jago.

We're also working hard to get a BMX Track in Penzance. There's so many great riders in the Penzance area it would be great for the town and Cycling as a whole. Please take a look at our Facebook page 'a BMX track in Penzance' and please like it.
