BMXTB ‘08
First up, what sort of an event are u guys looking forward to be involved in? Ride2026 has been doing this BMXTB series since 2006, and now its ‘08 and time for the third annual Ride2026 Mountain Bike and BMX competition, the BMXTB ’08. In the previous years we’ve had BMX and Mountain bike races and also included the BMX Flatland and Highest Bunny Hop comp into the mix.
For this year Sami (Mr. Ride) and I’ve been thinking of putting the Downhill aspect of mountain biking into play. We have been looking for locations around Pune right now and have found a few suitable trails for the race. I’m planning on adding a few Jumps and other obstacles into the course that the riders would find challenging. All competitors please be prepared! Don’t panic yet; the obstacles also include last years ramps which most of you have already raced on. These trail conditions might not be suitable for BMX (20” wheeled) bicycles. But since the venue is not finalized yet there’s still scope for the BMX race to happen.
Permissions from the landowners, trail building and other work will start soon. If everything works out fine we would be seeing the BMXTB ’08 happening this year.
Ride2026 still has no funds for the event (similar situation as the past!). Don’t know when this would change for the better.
Please shout out your opinion pertaining to the next BMXTB event. Also if you have any idea or think you could help us with the track work etc it would be appreciated.
