Hackin

This was the last BMX race of the season at our local track and it was a double points race. Killer turn out with good weather. I just had a birthday so I'm the young gun in a new class. Middle age men class pedaling bicycles, I don't know what class that is. Maybe the PATHETIC class, but whatever. There's a couple of dudes running these sidehacks at all the big races and the guy that has this one, has a broken neck so he needed someone to get it into the show. I volunteered and grabbed Milo's best friend Frankie as my monkey, thinking the lightness would help out. Shit, I haven't ridden on one of these things since the God damn 80's. 4 of us on the gate and hot damn we were flying down the first straight and into the 180 degree first turn. Franks screaming his freaking head off cause it's like Gladiator out there with all this metal trying to make it into the first turn. We go in and I grab a handful of break to try a hi low the dude in first place. For some reason the cart speeds up and we're inches from collision at 25mph. Short story long, we got a solid second and Frank was stoked. So was the dude with the broken neck. Me...second was the story the day for the Malkoski's. Both boys got 2nds, I got a second and we got one on the sidehack.
