HA! HA!..... Devious.
Okay, I guess it's time to do some actual writing on this limestone warcrime of a bmx track.
My First ImpressionsI first saw this track on my motorcycle, as the track is positioned directly behind 5 Star Yamaha, a place I unfortunatly have to frequent often to give them large amounts of money for a couple of grams of steel, but I digress... I was instantly happy at the tabletop there, as it looked exactly what I've been looking for to jump my motorcycle on.
I've been around long enough to know it's an unforgivable action to ride a motorbike on a BMX track so the safari came back with BMX Bikes and gave it a rollicking good heave-ho and to both of our disgust, it rode like Paris Hilton fucks. Lazy and too much hard work.
(Paris, if you're reading this, I'm just kidding. I love you
and if you'd be mine, just for one day, I'll make you so happy. We can go out for Ice Cream and talk for hours, I'll remember the smell of your hair and always be considerate of your needs and wants..... *ahem*. Where was I?)
Ooh yes... Beaconsfield BMX Track!
Here's a breakdown of the track.
- Start mound, with no flat on top
- Step down, small
- Tight small right berm
- Nice short, tall table
- Tight left berm
- Round topped table, without the table. Basically a mound to flat.
- Camel Humps (3) starting sharp, then rounding off
The longest straight was, I reckon about 3 meters. So unless you're probably the oldest and most credited AA+ Pro in Western Australia, you'll have big problems getting any air off these jumps. Not to say you can't race on this track! It'll just be a huge amount of work but good for some argy bargy.
Jigme you fart, OG you flap, why not just get a fat run-up at it?
I'm glad you asked, dumbass. IT'S SURROUNDED IN GRASS! This track puts the ASS in GRASS. It's surrounded in
grass. So a run-up simply wears your skinny ass out, and you've got no energy left to pick yourself up after OG
makes a diabolical fuck-up and spoonyas you off your ride mid rhythm section..
Orange Grips said this thing, which sums up the track, quite poetically I think.
"Even thought it's lost it's lip, it's still got that limestone charm".
I like this, because it illustrates how cool this track is, even though it's fucked up. The lips have erroded away, it's surrounded in grass and the whole track looks like it's shrunk in the rain, I still like it but I'm sorry to say, it probably needs an angry 2 stroke pit bike to have a good day of fun on. But it's good for the kiddly wink, training wheel brigade who would love a track like this.
Now, I could be a good web designer and actually provide you with clickable thumbnails like these...
But to be perfectly honest, I can't be fucked, so I'm just going to give you a lame list of links for you to click. Enjoy!
We hope you enjoyed this review, and please, do go there and get a photo, or better yet, video of you getting some good air off these jumps. *hint* You could use a motorcycle to tow you in. Fucked if we'll be held accountable if you nail yourself though. That's your Mum's liability for letting your radical ass out of the house!This is J n OG, signing off!
