Hills BMX Track
We finally did it. The BMX SAFARI, filled with the promise of fertile
soils and rich culture ventured forth up into the hills of Lesmurdie for
some sweet Hills BMX Track action.
As ususal, your friends and humble narrators had no idea what was in store
for them... Relax. We survived.
On the way to Hills Bmx, the blisteringly sharp vision of Jigme spotted a jump out of the corner of his eye and Orange Grips went into instant rally mode and a few seconds of jumping broken bridges, fending off hoards of attacking Mongols and a good deal of 2 wheel driving antics, we ended up at someone's backyard dirtbike track. We took 3 photos before moving on to greener pastures. That track was death. Dirtbike only. Kudos to creators.

Well, after some amount of driving
and after some amount of crotch touching,
we were there.

The Track
The track was super smooth. Not a corriguation to be seen. Unlike that no good southside. Wankers! No I jest. That's our favourite track. Anyone who disses it, will incur death fees. I digress once again.
Straight off the bat we were badmouthing our good old Forrest Gump pal Blake " Hey baby. Don't u know I'm a 9.4?" Schofield because of his dodgy prediction of us being able to jump at Hills. We're gunna smash'im. Watch ur back Schofield ;)
The Girls
The highlight of the day was by far this. We met some bmx girls. Their names were Mitzy and Mavis. no.. Julie and Janice... no.. Darn. We've forgotten their names but I sure as hell remember getting pimped on the frigging 2nd jump by one of them.
We were sitting down as we ususally do after several long seconds of exercise and noticed a car pull up and a couple of dudes get out. One pulls on a fullface helmet and gets on a bmx, and the other starts walking. It's at this moment we realise these aren't dudes. And they're unwittingly heading towards the bmxsafari in full effect.
After chattin' away with these 2 for a while, we pluck up the courage and race one of them. If it wasn't for me screaming like an absolute cretin at her after she had passed me, I would have lost incredulously to a girl!
One of the girls earns the nickname "Safety" after grilling a dude who was about 12 for not wearing a helmet. If that kid even blinked without a helmet she was down on him like a tonne of bricks! No, I jest. But she still gets the nickname. Safety is the one pulling the radical hand gesture while sitting down in the photos section.
I don't have much more to say about this track apart from, going backwards around it is a shitload of fun in certain places. The first rythem section pwns if you run it backwards.

I was slack this time around and used the gThumb image viewer to create
a snazzy image viewer so here it is. Enjoy. Take special note of
OG trying to put as many pads on his arm as possible, Jigme's radical bmx
poses and the bmx girls. Until next time, do as the BmxSafari tells
the Indians...
"Live Xtreme, Die Young, Think outside the box to the MAX!" rofl.
