Cockburn BMX Track.
This has the seal of approval of the BMX Safari.Orange Grips and I had the best ride we've had on a track to date today. Weather was practically perfect and there was a couple of dudes down there giving us the hot tip (if you know what I mean). In all seriousness, they weren't having anal sex with us, they were just giving good advice.
Orange Grips invented a new move today. LemmeSee!
Jigme landed a no handed, nuddy flip. LemmeSee!
Enjoy the pics:

Much of the samey same. Except there was a crazy kid down there who's name was "Ollie" (maybe he's in the wrong sport) who seriously, didn't take a break once that I saw except to abuse his sister with "CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING!" and screaming at us when we nearly ran him off the berm to Calcutta when he was going backwards around the track. (By us, I mean Ollie's brother and I). Here's the little tacker now.
Yes, it's a dark photo. What u gunna do about it? I thought so...
Some dudes who ended up in a fight just as we were leaving. I got some video of one group of them riding away calling them all manner of good insults, such as "fagg0t, cu^t" etc. I thought they were pretty tough. Being about 4ft 5in and all.

I don't have a great deal to say about this, but I will anyway. We went to the track with Orange Grips and our newest member to the Safari, flat mate and co-producer of Southpark Wess (who will be referred to from now on as Sockette, due to his socks... Don't ask why. I'm just shallow. And he's not really the co-producer of Southpark. It just sounded good.) Sockette brought a friend along with him who we will be referring to from now on as Collarbone. Collarbone was on a hardtail hybrid bike, Sockette was on his new diamondback and OG and I were on our normal hogs. Collarbone turned to us towards the end of the day and asked if we thought he could clear the first step-up. Answer was obvious, but we answered anyway. From memory, I think I actually said yes, but then also said he could probably bunnyhop the swan river or something along the lines that I thought he couldn't clear it. After some probing to his jumping skills, as he didn't show any actual skill in BMX riding, which none of us do, hence we don't jump Cockburn step-ups. He claimed to have some dirt jumping abilities but then admitted that all the jumps were "to flat".
The alarm bell should have gone up in our minds that no dirt jumps we've ever seen have gone to flat, and that Collarbone might not have any chance of clearing this, and possible death may ensue.
After Orange Grips wisely suggested he wore Sockettes road helmet, he agreed. I don't think it had occoured to him to do this. It's time for me to shup-up and allow the moving pictures to speak thousands of words. Remeber kids, Don't push yourself too hard and know your limits, otherwise you could end up pregnant, married or worse.... Being the proud owner of a broken collarbone and a few months of inactivity, not to mention a munted lump on your shoulder that chicks won't dig cos they know you're a buster.
