More questions about the Tampines BMX Track

I wrote in the blog yesterday about the sorry state of the BMX track here in Singapore. Guess what. I received another email today. It is TWO years to the Youth OLympics and seems that there are some who do not even KNOW about the track because of the little mention of it in Singapore. Here is the email:

hey

i found your site somehow and i was wondering...... does there happen to be a BMX racing track in singapore? cos i first saw it on the Olympics and i'm DYING to try it out......... hope you can help me out.........

Well, to all who do not know where the track is, it is located in Tampines, at the Tampines Cycling track, at the junction of Tampines Avenue 7 and Tampines Avenue 9, opposite Sun Plaza Park. And SSC, SNOC, MCYS, maybe it will help if you put a description of the track on your website so people know that there is a BMX track in Singapore.

Can you imagine this? BMX, a sport that made its debut in the Olympics in Beijing, and a couple of years from now, it is going to be held in Singapore but the authorities are NOT helping to publicise this.

It doesn't surprise me. All the authorities here care about is the new bloody malls, MRT, road works and stopping any fun that people might be having. If you asked anyone, anywhere in Singapore if you can race BMX I'm certain all you would hear is "CANNOT"
