Park Orchards 4X Race
Well it has been a week since the event but i am still hearing great things about the 4X meet organised by SMBP and held at Park Orchards BMX track. The event was the first 4X race held within Melbourne and it let no one down.
There was doubt about how the event would go when running it at a BMX track, but i think the only thing riders really complained about was their lack of fitness. The track was in superb condition and had been shortened for the 4X race. It also had alot going for it that you don’t usually find at a 4X race including a gas operated starting gate which put everyone’s gate starts to the test.
The event was ran extremely well under the supervision of the Park Orchards BMX Club and SMBP. There was a full canteen to keep everyone fed, no one had to wait to long as the motos were organised very well. There was also full mechanical support at no charge thanks to BikeNow and we also showed off a bunch of our products there.
Everyone who raced had a great time, but especially the winners who walked away with some great prizes such as Spy Goggles, Fox Racing Kits, Focused DVDs and much more. We also gave away 2 spot prizes which were 2 Gamut chain devices no less (bet you kicking yourself you didn’t enter now!).
