Im sure a lot of old school riders like me would be delighted to know that our favorite sports Bicycle Motocross or more popularly known as BMX!  Would now be included in the competition program of the Olympics. At last our dream when were still young came true! For the first time in history, BMX is now part of the Olympic Games! It would be included in the 2008 Beijing Olympics not only as a demo but an actual race. With 48 riders (16 women and 32 men) from around the world competing. Sad to say, I don’t think there’s a representative from the Philippines. Anyway, the race are scheduled on August 20 – 21 at the Laoshan Bicycle Moto Cross (BMX) Venue.

Located at Shijingshan District in west Beijing, the venue covers an area of 1.98 hectares and is 300-400 meters in diameter. The track is 10 meter wide at the starting point and 5 meter wide at other points, and it contains jumps, flattops, and other obstacles. In 2008, the venue will give birth to the first ever Olympic BMX gold medal.

BMX racing is exciting, thrilling and very challenging! Not to mention its dangerous too. With all the crashes and spills a rider could encounter on the tracks. I should know, I’ve been a BMX racer myself. I can still recall racing with Team Bicrosser at Jammin Jay and at Philcite. Ahhhh! Its all coming back to me. Who would forget BMX Action Magazine, Stu Thomsen, Harry Leary, Eric Rupe, Pete Loncarevich, Gary Ellis, Redline, Mongoose, GT, HARO, Schwinn, Shimano, JT Racing, Diamond Back and many others. They, in one way or the other contributed to the popularity of BMX.

Motorhack -  A motorcycle rider and a forum member of motorcyclephilippines.com, who Just like what his alias means – literally hacks his motor! You wouldn’t believe it but this pinoy rider who owns a Yamaha DT claims that he’s been using 70% HHO 30% gas to powered his motorbike for two months now. And much more amazing is that almost 99 percent of the materials he utilized to build this device can  be found at anybody’s home (ika nga eh homemade talaga!), particularly inside the kitchen. Its so funny that during his first attempt he even uses a catsup squeeze bottle. And eventually it works! Iba talaga ang Pinoy! Madiskarte! Bilib ako syo bro!

ezinearticles.com describes HHO as:

HHO is Hydrogen + Hydrogen + Oxygen. How does the HHO system work? When the HHO systems splits water (H2O) into its components the H2O to HHO conversion takes place. HHO is also known as Green Gas, Hydroxy, Di-Hydroxy, and Water gas. The electrolysis of water produces a burnable Green Gas. HHO is a green gas that is the wave of the future. HHO auto conversion creates a hybrid car, which are now water powered cars using the technology of HHO.

In this time of fuel crisis. Any fuel saving devices or tips that can help alleviate people lives are very much welcome by motorist worldwide. Let’s just hope that our government would support this kind of initiative.
