Australia keeps getting better and better! On Saturday I competed in the PRO BMX competition at the Chelsea Skate of Mind Festival and took the win! Im so stoked, check the official photo of me with my winners cheque/certificate;


The photo was taken by Tim Bearup and is credited to Chelsea Community Renewal, City of Kingston

The highlight of my run I think was a toothpick grind transfer out of the park on one of the guard rails on the side of a quarter pipe.

I have heat 8 of the South Eastern League this weekend so fingers crossed for another good result, the finals are getting ever closer and I really want to make the cut.

DIAMODBACK REPRESENT!

Will blog again soon.

Nik Ford wins BMX medal at Heat 5 of the South Eastern BMX League

I competed in heat 5 of the South Eastern BMX League here in Australia on Saturday just gone and not only made the top 5 by placing 4th but won the medal for best rider! Proper stoked. The skatepark at Prahran is more of a street plaza so it suited my riding style. Check the overview photo of the course below;




The ledges on the top right of the photo are pretty steep but real good. I will update again soon. Ive got another stop on the tour this weekend so fingers crossed for some more good scores. Gotta keep moving up the league table to be at the finals in May.
