A great meetup for 2010

Today's gathering was the first meet-up for this year. The gathering was held at the Bukit Batok Skatepark and as usual, most of the regular gang was there. But today's gathering was a bit different. We had a TV crew present there...a TV crew from RazorTV. Most of us got interviewed and questions were asked of us about BMX in Singapore and the like. The guys that interviewed us were totally cool and I think they enjoyed our little gathering, seeing the camaraderie we had. When they left, I feel that they got a bit of an understanding about local BMX and what it had to offer. They were enlightened indeed.

We chatted mostly about old-school BMX, something we all are very knowledgeable about and some other non-BMX related stuff. We also discussed about getting some T-shirts together. This BMX forum is about ten years old anyway so we needed something to commemorate the evnt. After the gathering at the park, we finished off at the coffee-shop near the park for some coffee. We left the place feeling tired but happy and we look forward again to the next gathering, which will be soon. Watch this space!

Hi,

I am an architecture university student doing research into BMX riding in Singapore and proposing new purpose built centres for BMX/ cycling activities.

I wonder if I would be able to come for one of your future gatherings and find out more.

Regards,
Ian
