First Old-School BMX gathering for 2011

Hi all. Just a heads up. There will be an old-school BMX gathering at the Bukit Batok Skatepark on the 8th of January 2011. First of all, there will be dinner cum "talk talk time" @ Blk 177 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 (S)650177 coffeshop from 6.30pm to about 7.30pm. After that, we will adjourn to the Bukit Batok Skatepark at Blk 175 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 (S)650175. You should be able to find the address in Google Maps. The posts in the Singapore BMX Forums is located here. See you there!

Aftermatch of the gathering on the 23rd of October

We had quite a surprise at the gathering when some of our old friends we had not seen in several years turned up to be part of the gathering at the East Coast Skatepark. Razak and Ojai were there, sharing stories and swapping tales about BMX back in the day. They even brought their old-school bikes down and they all brought their families down to share the love of BMX. A great gathering. We will be doing one more again before this year ends.

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!

The old-school BMX gathering at Bukit Batok Skatepark

As usual, it was a great gathering of all the old-schoolers and I must say that I really look forward to such gatherings. Present last night were Salleh, Eddy Chan, Freddy aka Kruger, Ismail, Hassan, Frederick, Selvan and his lady, Eddy Meng and Rick. The highlight of the day had to be the old "black horse" bike that Eddy Chan restored. Truly a work of art but my gosh, the laid back head angle made it exceedingly difficult for me to pedal, given my long legs and all. I had to sit way back at the end of the bike in order to ride this bike effectively.

Next old-school meetup at Bedok Skatepark 23rd February 2008

We decided to change the venue for the next meetup for the FBM (Fat Bald Men, us of course!) old-schoolers of BMX in Singapore. The next meetup is going to be that the Bedok Skatepark. The details are located in the forums here so bring your bike down and get ready to jam! The last meetup had two new people joining us. What will they bring down? Will Eddy Chan bring down his GT Pro Performer? Will Jerry bring down his Kuwahara Magician? How about Eddy Meng and his Hutch Trickstar or even one of his SE Racing bikes? How will you know unless you are there? And by the way, speaking of FBM, their frames kinda rock...
