Our dear fans. the day has come. We not only dig a set of doubles, but we record it, and make a website about it. Your troubled days are over sweetness.

Our loyal readers, the backbones of England, will know how many cock ups we've had actually going to, and recording a visit to the hidden trials location.

  1. First wasn't recorded
  2. Second, we dug some doubles, and dug the middle out of them! But was recorded and accidentally deleted.
  3. Thirdly WINNAR

We first got the idea to build our own PRO SECTION DUG OUT DOUBLES when we read this post on the Racebmxwa.com forum. Those crazy cats love digging the middle out of doubles, so we thought, HELL! Why can't we! So the idea was born. Making a bmxsafari.org PRO SECTION BAM YEAH!

A little background on the previous visits.

We were driving past the hidden location (hint hint, it's near a main road!) and I spotted what I correctly thought to be a trials setup. Aye, he was correct! We pulled over, ran up the hill (whoops, another hint!) and low and behold, someone had built some trials stuff, and some dodgy 45 degree to flat jumps. We had found a mini mecca.

A week or so later, we came back with a camera and a bike or two, and alas, the trials frames had been torn down and replaced with little trees and a lot of little bamboo poles. Our hopes, we thought, had been dashed.

Alle Hoffnung war nicht verloren!!!
We vowed to come back again. We came back again alright. With a motherloving SHOVEL and the determination to dig the bmxsafari pro section. Unfortunately, all evidence of this visit was deleted off the camera but never mind that. Ok. Enough of the history. Get to the frigging safari they chant!

A gag or two, and we were off.

Firstly, we needed supplies. So we ducked into North Freo Fresh for some gourmet rolls made by a ridiculously gorgeous girl, some drinks and a quick laugh at this guys dog, who looked surprisingly like someone else.

We arrived to a scene of devastation. Well, not really. But the place was far un-gooder than we left it. People had broken branches, torn up a tree, left some rubbish and crud around and maybe worse of all, munted our jump. We assume it was the same kids who told OG (when he re-visited the jump on his way back from somewhere or other) that THEY had built the jump, and didn't back down to OG saying that he was the one responsible for it. Of course, that was until he shot them a death stare, but that's another story... The jump was now to flat, rather than our landing, and was a rather rude transition with hunks of wood hanging out of it.

We got to digging, padding, patting, stomping and rejoicing the doubles back to their original glory and then we rested for a little, revelling in our skills at piling dirt up. Indeed, as promised, we dug the middle out of these doubles, about twice as deep as the actual hump height itself. Racebmxwa.com eat your heart out!

After some test runs (OG always busts it out first time no worries) and some alterations, we were ready to start busting the fresh fruits of our laborious labour.

Satellite taking off and landing. Satellite hadn't done any real jumping prior to this, so him jumping this today was a definate stretch of the testicles.

Jigme Jumping Jigme Jumping

Jigme jumping his pants home. It's a bummer, While OG was taking these pretty damn good pics (almost impossible to time that digicam and he got it sorted) we didn't get any stills of him jumping it.

If you were a smart lad, and took a shot, ever 6 steps up the track to the bmx safari pro section, you'd see what OG saw when he did it. Also, we added in another little landmark.

After repairing the jump, it was time to go home. If you go there, keep the place clean and don't root up the jump too much. And most importantly, don't claim that you dug it infront of us.
That's a Safari... Next Safari.
