Last weekend we had Spanish Champs here in El Campello. I didn't ask why the race is organized on such a weird date (normal is first weekend of July). But I think it goes like this because of the school holidays and dangerously hot weather. I was a photographer and also just following how everything works.
Being photographer, and at the same learning how the camera works, was a good experience. Fast moves, too much light in one corner means with the same settings too dark when you turn around, not to mention how it was after sunset in the dark. My respect to everyone who knows how to photoshoot BMX. It's pretty hard for beginner.. at least with my criteria :) here is the photo I like most from last weekend:

By following I started to wonder why some cruisers race on saturday and others on sunday. The rule is that you are not supposed to race 2 classes in 1 day, so cruisers race different day.. But why not all cruisers in one and all 20" on other? Well, because everyone are not able to have 2 bikes. By dividing others on 1st day and others on 2nd people can share the same bike.
Even my cruiser got in to the game. Also lots of comments how good it is, and to mention the spanish champ in elite men was riding my bike it can't be too bad :) So yes, also elites rides cruiser. I like everything in this system!

Winners of Elite men and women What other things I noticed in the race... I don't remember that much anymore. At least the youngest riders allowed to race in Champs were 5 years olds. Pretty many age groups were put in to one. Like 8-10 years olds boys. In girls classes were jump nice jumps, same with boys tho. Everyone raced with their club jerseys. Even if they had sponsors and team clothes, the champs you are in the club colors. For example the riders in selection team for Teneriffe got their flights and hotels paid for 1 week by the Teneriffe BMX. From the other selection teams I didn't ask about it. Price money for elite men was 300euros and elite cruiser 200e. That's the money for the winner, the other podiums I didn't ask. Also the winner of each class got the jersey for the Champion! I think that's damn good system!!
