So back in October, we went off to the Supercross bike championship's Geelong meet - for which they had taken over Skilled Stadium, the home of the Geelong Cats. Didn't really know what to expect from this, but it turned out to be a really enjoyable day. First of all, the weather was cracking and since we were there for four hours, luckily we were in a covered stand.
Learned that being in a 'dry' stand doesn't include beer... after all, it's just like pop, right? Nick said he felt under-tattooed for the occasion. Come to think of it, so did I.
We watched some racing, then some freestyle stunts, then more racing. Loved the height they go over the jumps and the kids loved the crashes - but then they just all jump back on their bikes and keep going...
And we've become fans (at least temporarily) of Chad Reed - he won every race he was in and is currently leading the championship...
