GOODYEAR FORMULA DRIFT MALAYSIA 2010@ Dataran Merdeka 18-19 Dec 2010

Looks like my wonderful luck has it that my car decides to break its knuckle (2nd time this week!!!) on my  the 1st practice run, leaving me with no runs. With the help of CHI KIAN Workshop ,they managed to get the knuckle welded but due to the location we were at ,we were unable to test the car to determine  if the handling was ok but  a spin on my 1st qualifying run showed that  it wasn’t :P…Taking a conservative 2nd run, I managed to drift the course half decently but due to being unfamiliar with the track, I took the wrong exit cone coming out !!! I’ve done this numerous of time in autocross but on a drift competition??? WTF??..this leaves me with a double zero!!!

Jane did better  as she did managed to score on the qualifying run  however only qualified 35th…missing by  3 spots!!!

Our heartfelt thanks to Kev, Mike, Cheryl ,  Chi and Kian for the help they gave and hope that the experience we gain from this will make us stronger next year!!

We will be at Dataran today to hang out and also for the autograph signing session…so hope to see some of you guys there…ciao

Bike ride@ Taman Pertanian Negara ,Shah Alam 5th Dec 2010

After hearing so much about this place , Jane , Joe Han and I decided to check the place out. I was initially a bit worried after being informed by Jane that the cycling route is 70% climbs! ;something that a single speed BMX isn’t actually cut of out for. The fact that I received stares from the people at the bike rental  shed ( Jane rented a bike there , while Joehan and I rode our own)  made me even more paranoid!!

Bike Nite #5 @ Putrajaya 3rd Dec 2010

Our little night bike rides have grown in members as we made up a total of 12 riders  for this session!! I am also glad  that the number of BMXs in the group have increased to 2 ( should have been 3 but the 3rd one suffered a pinch punture while ridding off a curb). Anyway, the 2 hour ride went by like a breeze with Terrence Lim on his Rm27,000 mountain bike bagging the king of sprint award for the night!!

Some where in the District

Finding BMX parts is tough nowadays. Bike shops are filled with all genres of road and mountain bikes and parts alike  but a mere mention of BMX is usually greeted with sniggers followed by  ” we stop selling those a long long time ago” line .Well I could still recall that ‘ a long long time ago’ every kid had one or at least wanted one and these very bike shops were busily cashing in the craze. However it seems that now  BMXes  are now such an  embarrassment that no reputable  shop here are willing to carry them .Well not all; a quick search online pointed me to a shop off Imbi road called District.
