At the races:
BMX races are fun and family oriented activities my time there has been fun our 19 year old daughter biffed, bit the dirt, it was the week she already had four stitches in her chin from an earlier tangle with a car door on her bike. A friend caught this snafu moment in the race with his video camera. Our son commented “oh cool, none pf my good wrecks are on tape!”
They relive it after the race several times on instant replay to see what happened. Pause the moves and saw the pedal of the bike when it caught the dirt in a turn sending and an bike end over end. That’s why the wear helmets in this sport.
Vendors around the track have sports drinks and riding gear hang on ropes strung from tent awning poles to sell as fund raisers for team’s racing funds.
Announcers declare winners and placers heats, starting gates near the sign in booth. Raffle ticket winners are announced, and then the music resumes. Children ride bikes around the park waiting for their next turn to race again.
Dad’s and mom’s get in to the action in a fun and often funny spirit of competition, especially as a seat breaks or kids yell go! Go! Go! to urge their parent on almost willing them to win.
“It is a lot like BMX motor cross racing only not motocross, less noisy and the part are cheaper” to quote one winner.
This was a fun day for all. (spring 2001)
