The Mettle Games

I had an email from the organisers of the Mettle Games, wanting me to spread the word. But when I called up their number, I kept being transferred from one person to the next because none of them knew about the BMX segment. What gives guys? So finally, I hung up the phone and called a knowledgeable friend who is involved in it.

The BMX event is happening on the 2nd to 4th of December at the East Coast Skate Park. I had a look at the description of the BMX event on their webpage:

"Watch extreme racing bicycles go at it over a rough cross-country course that consists of jumps, obstacles, and turns. A battle of skill and stamina, riders will push the limits of physics and their leg-powered machines to a whole new level!"

Last I checked, that is a skatepark, not a cross-country course as they put it. So I take it that either these people do not know what BMX is about, or there really is a cross-country segment that will be conducted there. Interesting considering that the skatepark is all concrete and there is nary a cross-country patch there...

Oh well, these are event companies, not hard-core BMX enthusiasts so I suppose we can overlook this. However, it looks interesting for those who want to check it out
