Check out this old photo from the Singapore BMX races in Tuas in the early to mid 80s. That is what I love about BMX back then. Rain or shine, wet weather or dry weather, water-logged or dry track, the race went on. That was the whole meaning of bicycle motocross, a rugged sport that made men out of boys. In a way, the wet conditions made the race more interesting and more fun. That is what I do not like about BMX today. If it rains, the race is put off. That ain't BMX. It seems that BMX racing all of a sudden is not as rugged as it used to be. I wonder if they can bring back those days when we rode and raced in all kinds of weather?
