Bmx Riders In India.
Out of curiosity one day i was thinking if Bmx Freestyle has ever reached india, so i ended up searching on google to see if anything popped up, and to my amazement there it was. The search came up with a story of Brian Blyther and some other U.S. riders going to india for demos,then there was names of a few indian riders out in Bombay and one rider was Rahul Muliani who is an all round rider who is into flatland, I ended up E mailing Rahul and ended up having a good chat with him about Bmx and India. Rahul and crew, hold jams here and there and invited me over to one, but being from the Punjab which is situated in Northern India and travelling across to Bombay which is now known as Mumbai, would mean travelling by train for about 30 hours or so.
God willing i would love to go and meet up with them,but it would mean flying to Mumbai, Having been riding Bmx for 25 plus years i can truely say that ive only seen 2 or 3 other indian bmx riders in all my time, so to find out and hear Bmx was thriving in India was a happy moment. Much Peace and Love to Rahul and crew, Much Love to Mother India.
Much Peace and Blessings To Each And All.

Warley Woods/Dirt Jumps.
When it came to having dirt jumps in Bearwood, there could be no other place that could be better than Warley Woods.I think it was the little bears who found the over grown plot which was kind of out the way of society, and it was right next to the golf course which was fun. Over a few months there was some digging done by all bears big and small, we managed to get a set of 4 or 5 doubles built which ranged in height and length, which was good for all to ride. Knowing there was dirt to be jumped was a good feeling and a change from the concrete banks down the park. In the summer there was open fires a blaze and all within the fire hazard awareness zone, also a bbq would be alight feeding the bears and the setting was just right. Open wood fires kept the chill of the night abay and the bbq would keep the belly's topped up and dirt jumps would be noticable with the light off the fires keeping them lit up, which kept the riding going and going on into the night.
When the older bears statrted the dig, it was hard to dig and plenty of rubble to make it even harder, but never the less it was good, the first jump was just a plain tabletop jump with no gap to make it into a set of doubles. This jump was perfect it threw you high and you could control how much distance you wanted to clear, somewhere along the line someone put alot of energy into adjusting the first jump to how they liked it, instead of using that energy into starting to dig the 2nd jump and so on. We could never get the jump to how it was, so we just started to make more jumps down the line, in all we had 5 sets of doubles going which were good but skecthy in a true Bearwood style. One summer day going back 6+ years all big and little bears were there riding and messing about, this youth came up on his mountain bike with suspension and the whole shi bang. This dude who none of the bears knew said ill show you boy's how the men do it, all were most likely thinking whats he chatting about, then he comes pedaling down the run up (by the way there was no need to pedal like you just robbed a bike) like no one's buisness and just launching off the first jump and just fly's to the sun moon and stars and he is sort of in a superman style of postion, i think he kind of messed it up really, he has cleared the first jump totally and the landing included and is just up there, there is a run up of about 10feet or so before you hit the 2nd set of doubles, and so he has cleared the run up to the 2nd set also and lands just on the 2nd set take off, now this is some distance we talking about, this dude (did'nt catch his name) just lands and folds his forks out to pretty much 90 degrees he did not say anything or even looked back at us for a thumbs up, picked his bike up and just went on his way, this dude was an idiot to be true and i think he went home with much new learnt knowledge from his badboy man style jump. From the laughter that errupted there was not enough oxygen in the air for all the bears to get there breathe. For some crazy reason Bearwood has always attracted the craziest fools on god's planet.
