GET RAD BMX ALLEYCAT: RECAP
Easter Sunday is a special time for friends and family. But for one rowdy group of BMXers this was a day for shredding. We assembled at the top of Bernal Heights at 1:00 and overlooked the city below us. There were three check points that highlighted iconic spots around the city.
The race had one rule: 20" BMX bikes. These bikes are equipped to ride jumps and ramps and skateparks. Riding long distances is not usually not on the menu for bikes like this. Little gears mean you're spinning at a sprint.
The danger was real and the race hadn't even started.
The obligatory '70s poses pre race.
Warming up on the starting gates!
The starting run was down this. Pick your line, stick to it, and don't flat, we just started.
The race was close! I rolled in for the win only a few minutes before John rolled in for second. Ten miles on BMX is a huge challenge! Congratulations to everyone who rode across the finish line and to everyone who helped out. Here are a few of the top contenders!
JDR held down one of the hardest check points. Thanks for the help and good vibes after smashing up a mountain on 20" wheels dude!
Cubby hand wrote each manifest that morning on Beatles stationary.
Fun proceeded with high jump and long jump challenges!
Huge thanks to Cubby for getting everyone out here and putting this together! We are super stoked on this format and are looking forward to the next one!
And thanks to the sponsors! Mash SF, Vans, Oakley, Cult, Freewheel, and TCB.
