ROADTRIP – BMX IN BARCELDTON

Photos by James Gilbert unless otherwise stated.

We made our way to Geraldton in two cars on Easter Friday and by all reports there was going to be spots everywhere, after all Mike did grow up there. This rumour couldn’t be truer and we officially dubbed it Western Australia’s Barcelona.

Geraldton is a tick over 400kms from Perth but the trip up took a little over 6 hours, mainly because Rex was asking to pull over every 20 minutes to spew. Taken to his hands and knees on Indian Ocean Drive and making noises out of a horror movie it provided some great entertainment. Many beers, a very questionable campsite guest, more spots than your teenage brother and an incredible skate park made this weekend one to remember. Cheers to Mikey, Smelly, Pinelli, Dorris, Bruk and Rexo.
