Southside BMX Track.
Southside Bmx Track from space.
Yo, WHAT UP DAAAWWGGSS...
This was actually the first track Orange Grips and I ever went to, but we
haven't recorded it. Mind you, we did quite a shabby job documenting this
track, mainly because I'm a buster when it comes to taking photo's, and I just
bought a pound of crack off OG's Mum, and I was spinning a little.
Now, I apologize to Byford. Byford's berms are awesome next to what Southside's are at the moment. I mean =omg=. It's obviously a temporary thing, but it looks like WW1... Trenches 'n' all.
All apologies for the bad pictures, but you get the idea if you haven't been here before. So far, Southside gets our 2nd place rating. It's not as good as Cockburn, but better than Byford. Edit: This is now untrue. Southside is #1 --jigme 29/10/05
The Death Berm
Closey close close of The Death Berm.
I think this was Blake "Mr #220" but he was too shy to say hello. He'd just gotten a new bike. Pegs. Gyro. He was the coolest cat on the block. Which isn't hard with us in town.
This is what we call, probably incorrectly again, the Rhythm section. Although, Orange Grips makes it look like a "Hump your granny" section. He's white, he can't help having no rhythm.... and he's a little fat.
Some generally poor taken photographs.
It was time to go home...

We've been back to Southside many times, took a few pics and a little video.
We didn't actually film ourselves too much, too busy having a wicked time. They have made the first little double after the step-up on the 3rd straight a tabletop now, which is wicked. Great size for buster jumping. And a good lead up to jumping the next double and stepup. Two thumbs up from the bmx safari Southside people.
A woman came down, sporting a Corpus Christi Swim Team t-shirt pulling in tow, about 8 youngsters. The gags began. The guys and gals were about 17 and most of them hadn't mastered the art of not sitting down over doubles, so there were a lot of interesting noises coming from the girls. Of course, Orange Grips had to say something disgusting. Probably something about thier low cut tops and some kinda jiggling or something. I wasn't paying attention, I'm way too debonair.
The Corpus crew were all friendly, gagging it up... No wait, one of these gags must be briefly described. One girl, who was on a shockless MTB was lazily riding along the side of the jumps, on the grass when she saw a mud puddle. Not normally a problem with brakes, but here lies the botheration.. Nay! Quandary! She didn't seem to have a working pair. So she rode about 3 kp/h trying to avoid the mud puddle and rode endo into a mud ditch. It reminded me of my awesome attempts at the BmxSafari PRO SECTION bungles done by Jigme. It was met with hefty ammounts of laughter by your friend and humble narrator.
I was at the gate with Orange Grips and I mentioned something along the
lines of "I'm going to fuck you up" as we started to race, and this put
more than a little spring in his step and he launched off the first
table top and eclipsed the sun with his air skills.
It was so massive, I stopped on the next jump to applaud him.
The Token ESPN style footage.
As on almost every safari, we see a guy on an extreme downhill bike. This one cost him "3". I had a ride. His shockies are worth more than the Datsunbelievable. Anyway, his name was Greg, and he lemme film him jumping some of the jumps in the dirt jump crazy face style. I couldn't be bothered editing them so they're just in raw avi format. He actually botched these 2 runs up and didn't jump as much as he wanted, but they're still cool to watch.

It was time to go home...
Satellite is riding Sockette's bike at the moment, still. We went to Fleets Cycles (groan) and had a look there. Hopefully, not too long until he's eclipsing the sun with his turndowns on his own bike. The one he's riding now it too small.
Tell next time, keep applauding Orange Grips and shooting him confused looks. We'll catch you next time around.
