Less than a year to go...wake up people!

It is official now. The Youth Olympic Games 2010 is less than a year away. Time for all those so-called "BMX consultants" to get their act together or make way for those who have the domain knowledge. But all in all, it is going to be exciting to watch it happen and we at Singapore BMX cannot wait when we see world-class BMX racers racing on our soil. It is something like a dream-come-true for all of us.

So here is the wake-up call. Less than a year people! To the WhyOhGee and SYOG council, Singapore Sports Council, MCYS, the lot. BMX has been around for a very long time but it is a relatively new sport Olympic-wise. Show more of it on television and the media. STOP associating BMX stunt biking with BMX racing. Street, vert, dirt and park are from the same BMX family but only BMX racing is in the Olympics. As for the SSC. Start working with the MOE (Ministry Of Education) and introduce BMX racing in schools. BMX is the good way to learn the fundamentals of cycling. It WILL make one a better rider, no doubt about that.

How about after the Singapore Youth Olympic Games? Well, we will have to keep the BMX racers intersted in the sport. Keep the flame alive. Don't let it die out. Let us start to build the next generation of BMX riders.

So come on people...we have a lot of work to do. Lets do it!
