Saturday night was a wild one! Imagine almost 150 riders (it was 147 to be exact) all riding togerther in one big group from the tourist streets of Hollywood Blvd to the down & dirty mean streets of Los Angeles. It was a carazy fun ride & was most def a new experience for me. I mean, I’ve ridden with a “crew” before. But 147 BMXers strong? Never. We all met right in front of the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Blvd at 8pm on Saturday night & then lead the charge through the streets for a couple of hours with a few stops. The ride was super smooth. We didn’t get sweated for running red lights or anything. It was like the city was ours.
All kinds of pro old school BMX heads showed up:
Donny Atherton, Dennis Dain, Stu Thomsen, Greg Hill, Robby Rupe, and a few others I’m sure. Add to them about 100 other guys on their old–school bikes mixed in with quite a few new-school shredders on their current bikes & there you have it. 147 strong.
Oh, and of course there were a few hunnies on the ride as well.
This ride happens on the 2nd Sat of each month. They are shooting for 200+ riders next month. If you are down, then check out the
forums of BMX Museum & do a search for “Subway Series” & you’ll be able to get all the info you need. Check it out around May1st & there should be info up for the next ride. Check it our
now. Of course I rolled out on my $100 OM Flyer with matching jacket. You know how I roll. Ha ha….
