Some more emails

Got this email from a gentlemen who wanted some BMX performers. I think he does not understand what BMX racing is about. To him, BMX is about stunts and tricks. While it is, BMX (I will explain it one more time) is Bicycle Motocross, which means BMX racing. Other BMX disciplines that evolved from this are called BMX Freestyle. Here is the email:

Hope this finds you well and I got your email address from Facebook page BMX Singapore. (event location) will be staging some programmes on 4 weekends in March. And BMX is one of their top programmes that they are looking at. We would like to invite you and a group for a display of your BMX skills and talents come March. We would like for you to showcase a 30 minute display of either static BMX stunts on stage or 30 minutes roving on the above mentioned dates. So I would like to check your availability on the dates and times.

I asked one of my good friends Simon from 20 Inch Circle to answer his email. Simon, dependable as ever, did just that! Thanks Simon!

2020BMX, Singapore’s first-ever BMX exhibit as part of BikeAsia

2020BMX, Singapore’s first-ever BMX exhibit as part of BikeAsia, will be held from 27th February to 1 March 2009.

Organized by a group of avid BMX riders, 2020BMX will explore BMX’s relevance, history and future as a sport in Singapore. As first-generation old-schoolers, we love BMX and hope to actively support the local scene alongside the new generation of riders. Our cause has the support of BikeAsia’s organizers, who have kindly agreed to donate exhibition space to us, to enable us to give the sport of BMX 'a voice'
