Yep. This news won't hit any local newspapers or make it on to SA tv but I think it is great exposure for SA cycling anyway.

 

Local freestyle BMX rider Greg Illingworth of www.theriot.co.za bike shop in Jhb is competing in the Asian X-games this weekend!

 

He competed last year and got 10th overall, even after braking his chain and riding his heat chainless, and is looking to do better this time around.

 

Greg is pretty much the best Freestyle BMX rider in SA and it's great to see him making it overseas again and representing SA on this level.

Isn't it him on the the Hub aswell?

 

I think Greg's brother, Brad,  is sometimes on here. Brad rocks on a BMX too. Both great guys.

Update: After qualifying in 3rd, Greg finished off with a 6th place in the final. He beat some of the best BMX street riders in the world today and put SA on the world BMX map again. Awesome work and Facebook status' have been spreading the congrats all weekend.
