ike lines up for his first ever Moto at the local BMX track, Patchway Bristol. A few jokes were made by rival Dads of his enormous AMA superbike style numberboard - and they weren't more impressed when I said it was made from a 20p charity shop place mat. It was miserably icey weather but more than 100 riders turned up.
Pippa, also first timing, borrowed a proper helmet complete with scene-correct stickers. BP
Aces!!! Good on them. You'll have to ignore the BMX racer dads, I'm afraid they are usually ultra 'competitive dad's'. I've known friends leave racing simply because of the parents! Hope to get Heidi down to Decoy soon to see if she'd be into it. She loves the pumptrack.
ReplyDelete...please don't get me wrong, it was a very friendly all-welcoming scene. And I found myself hollering from the sidelines like an iron rod competitive Dad too! BP
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Ben, sounds like we did the same thing this weekend. My eldest were racing and I too was busting a vocal chord! Only a racer knows the feeling..........
ReplyDeletelove it when the youngsters race check out this dude... his helmet damn near pulled him off the bike!
