The Papendal World Cup BMX SX race has officially kicked off with a well needed practice session. Tired of sitting around the riders took it to the track trying to master each and every section before the racing cuts loose. We did not see everyone on the track yet. The strong wind made it hard to clear all of the jumps. During the session we spotted a few things that we'd like to show you in the following photos. From half link chains to Meybos, from long rear ends to pink shoes, from Powerbands to broken bones. Lots going on at Papendal.
