Has anyone ever tried motorcycle gymkhana before?
For those unfamiliar with it; It's not gymkhana like we know from Ken Block. It's not about showing off, pulling wheelies or stoppies or drifting around, that's stunting, not gymkhana.
Gymkhana is about control and precision driving.
The sport is very popular in Japan and is slowly making its way around the world, with regular events taking place in the US and UK. Honda has set up a gymkhana organisation in Poland to promote their bikes and the Netherlands has a non-profit organisation which organises events every month.
In Belgium we have an organisation that sets up 2 events per year with the last event taking place in october and of course, I was there.
Wall of film incoming.
Promo video of the event.
First timed run.
Second timed run.
Third timed run.
Finale.
At the end of the day I got to go home with 3rd place. ^^
There was some stiff competition, but nowhere near as daunting as you'd find in Japan, Poland or even the UK.
I'm interested to hear if there's anyone else out here who loves this as much as I do.
