2010 Aussies

[VRhoon]

Hi just wondering if anyone has heard anything about were these are going to be held yet?? There is talk about thats it's going to be Adelaide again

[Bmxbandit]

That would be a real shame.  I think if that were the case it would be a very poorly attended event.  Adelaide is fast loosing its attraction as a BMX destination and a holiday location.  It's becoming BORING.

Give the Vic's a go.  Nobody has been there for ages.

We at the Tuggeranong Club would love to hold the Aussies at our track again. It has been a while and we are currently updating the track, viewing areas and infastructure in a view to hosting them again one day. We have ample parking and great viewing areas and a challenging track with a soon to be built pro section and now technical sections added to the track. Just a thought

[wally]

Yeah but wont BMXA want the local government to pay some money to host it?

[AJMBMX]

I would travel to Vic.... but we are used to travelling.... except for next year yah.. in WA but still travelling to SA for worlds if the kids get in!!!!!

Would happily travel to VIC or Tuggeranong ACT for the NEXT Nationals . . . . . just gotta get over the WA n SA travel first tho!!! [we are all becoming experts at SA - don't even need their road maps now!!!]

Mate........I'm sorry to dissapoint you and totally off the topic, but going by a quick google "first BMX club in Australia" it come up with a quote from a Victorian Club Geelong "love their web site".

I know I could be stirring something up, but I quote from the Geelong site.

The History of BMX Racing

BMX Racing (Bicycle Moto Cross) originated in Southern California in 1970.
By 1976 the sport had found its way to Australia, first in Queensland then spreading throughout Australia. BMX Racing Clubs are now located in every State and Territory of Australia.

It's strange cause I always thought it started in NSW 

Please don't get upset Fletch as it was my other half who pointed it out.  .....she made me post something back

PS.....I would love you guys in Vic to get the Aussies, as we have never had the pleasure to race in Victoria.

[fletch]

Maybe we should take this to trash talk Gorey
Im sure Pat and Anthony Dillons dad Mick organized the first bmx race in Vic, I think 1977.

Could be the start of new thread hey,

We just want the Nationals here

[Gorey]

We want you guys to get them too........we would love to come down and enoy some relatives down there for a change 

Interesting about who was the first BMX club in OZ, I'll start a topic now.

Crossing our fingers for you guys 

[fletch]

Not the first club, the first race

[Gorey]

Well I could have been in the first...... the Austral Primary school to  home "Hoxton park just finished school challenge", between my brother and a few mates......pre 76 & everyday 

Does it count that we were on dragsters and a couple of speedwells with big anthills as jumps 

We just want the Nationals here

Sorry Fletch.......won't do it again
