There are many sites out there who claim to be the Singapore BMX site but unfortunately, they are all riding on the popularity of BMX now, especially since it became an Olympic sport. We here at OSBMX.com were the original site. We have been online since 2000, when everyone did not seem to give a toss about BMX. We were there when BMX became an Olympic sport. We have been running all the races since 1998. So make no mistake about that. The news is here and also some sad painful truths about the BMX scene in Singapore
Well, heard some rumblings. It seems that some UCI guys came down to see how we are preparing for the YOG, which is next year. Do we have a local BMX team yet? I do not think so. Do we have a track yet? I do not think so. Do we have BMX shops here where BMXer's are sold? Well, yeah...we have a couple but that is about it. You cannot buy components and such, just complete bikes. I hope someone told the UCI team that when they came down.
In short, BMX in Singapore does not look promising. It does not look even more promising for the local riders. Imagine. Singapore is hosting the YOG but the local boys cannot race in it because they have not had much time to practice and no premises either. We were pusihing the SSC and SACA since 2003 but you know what we got? Almost perfunctory help. And now some monkeys and "BMX consultants" are running about.
Like what was said in a movie once: "Hold on to your lugnuts! Its TIME for an overhaul!"
