First and second for Kyle Baldock at BMX Games



Over in Australia the BMX Games took place this weekend. Mirraco's Kyle Baldock had quite a weekend over there winning the Pro street/park class and getting second behind the 2010 Dew Tour dirt winner Brandon Dosch in the Pro dirt competition. Congratulations to Mr. Baldock!

We fired over some questions to Kyle:

First in Pro street, second in Pro dirt, quite an amazing BMX Games comp for you this year right?
Kyle:
This year has been amazing, Bmx games was a great comp for me. I was up against some really good riders in both park and dirt, with a lot of big bangers been thrown out.

Are the BMX Games one of the biggest BMX Freestyle comps in Australia?
Kyle:
BMX in Australia is unfortunately dying out but with big comps like BMX Games it's putting Australia back on the BMX scene! It is definitely a great event to compete in.

What are some of the tricks you did in dirt and street/park that you were stoked on?
Kyle:
Considering I don't ride dirt at all I was pretty stoked on qualifying 3rd and coming out to take second place. I pulled out a whip to whip back on the last jump and corked 7 another.
Went into park finals qualifying first, I was stoked that I triple whipped the box and whip catch whip it as well.

What's next on your program?
Kyle:
I have a few big competitions overseas coming up, the first being the Asia X games, then Dew Tour and also Fise. I'm heading over to Greenville in the next couple of months to catch up with Ryan Guettler. I'm looking forward for some other big comps coming up too, it's going to be a great year.
