With this years Ultimate X coming in hot, we thought we'd fire over a couple of questions to long time SA BMX legend Greg Illingworth on a couple of topics which have seen this event go from SA's biggest local BMX contest to an international platform for riders from all around the globe.
Ultimate X started out as a pretty big deal locally, being one of the biggest events in SA. In 9 years the event has evolved and streamlined itself. As far as BMX is concerned it's now globally one of the raddest events of the year. Riders from all over the world are desperate to make It down to Cape Town for this one.
The Western Cape is one of the most beautiful areas in the world. When riders catch wind of the events happening in South Africa, they see it as an opportunity to see an incredible place and compete at the same time. I suppose the weather, good cost of living, good spots to ride and amazing food help attract them too.
Riding! I've been a bit injured lately and I just cannot wait to ride more.

I head straight to Sydney, Australia for the first round of the Vans Bowl series.
