Burnside rally race
I think I was working on Grover’s miniramp when someone in the crew go the call that there was an upside down car in Burnside. I briefly contemplated going down to check it out, but even with supposed firsthand knowledge, it still seemed highly unlikely. Well, someone on the the Jalopnik blog checked it out. Jalopnik is the automotive branch of the Gawker Media blogging empire. You might have noticed a few links to their gadget site Gizmodo on select S&A posts. What happens when a car sits upside down for a period of time? Oil and other fluids start to leak out. Fun! Someone, somewhere, will blame this on BMXers. This is not the first car I’ve seen (secondhand) in Burnside. There’s video footage of some 90′s era hijinks on the punk wall.
Holy cow! The sites been up for more than an hour, and I’m actually making an update for the first time in a week. I’m testing the waters here, and I may have just jinxed it.
- Thanks to Dave Arpin for the tip.

People do love blaming the Bmxers!lol.The best thing is that the dude driving was telling some the guys no bikes and then a half hour later cruises the jeep in goes over the side of the hip,scrapes the twinkie and then guns it!The guy definetlly cracked a cold one when he crawled out!
Dude, fuck BMXers, this car obviously belonged to a biker’s mom who was cracked out on “the meth diet.”
