Before the Knox BMX Club upgrades its start hill, its riders gave their facility a final send off in the best possible way – with some racing of course!
Since 2010, Knox’s ‘Madill Gate’ has accommodated tonnes of racing and will finally be stood down before a fresh new gate and hill are erected in its place.
Before construction begins on July 15, the Knox Crocs held a final clubby on Friday night, July 5, to send it off in a way only BMX riders can.
Just over 100 entries were recorded as riders participated in mini-wheelers, novice, senior open wheel, cruiser and a mixed superclass clash.
Leading the celebrations were five riders of #TeamAUSBMX, who will be representing Australia at the 2019 UCI BMX World Championships in Heusden-Zolder on July 22-26
Knox’s national champions, Stephanie Alexander (10-girl’s) and Joshua Jolly (13-boy’s), and 6A Reegan Schafter (10-boy’s) were joined by Geelong’s national champion Cameron Gatt (11-boy’s), and Eastfield’s sprocket rocket Liam Steinlauf.
Alexander joined the 9-10 boy’s class on Friday night and finished second on the podium behind Schafter. Jolly took on older competitors in the 15-18 boy’s class and also found the top of the podium.
Along similar race lines was Geelong’s Gatt, who raced up in the 13-14 boy’s and finished second behind Knox’s William Sala.
Other winning riders can be seen below.
The final gate drop of the evening was a mixed superclass event which included only Knox Crocs. Harrison Sala took the final chocolates with Corey Millar in second and Jack O’Connor in third to round out the podium.
WATCH THAT BELOW.
Last gate …. great to see Peter, one of our life members who helped build the start hill ( and many other things at the track ) come down and watch our last race on this start hill.
