The second instalment of Western Australia’s ‘2020 Smarter than Smoking Super Series’ took place over the weekend with the best of the west racing at Southern Districts BMX Club. This week in the Tales from the Berm, we break down this fantastic day of racing.
Over 400 riders headed to Nerang BMX club on the weekend for the second round of the national series followed by the second round of the South Queensland shootout series. Both events were a huge success and produced some wonderful racing across the board.
