Boys and gkls of aU ages were getting down and dirty at the Lethbridge Exhibition Pavihonlast week­ end. Norco sponsored the Easter Classic BMX Westem National Series from Mar. 29 to Mar. 31 featuring rid­ ers from British Columbia to Saskatchewan. Over 150 riders aged six to 40 competed for the first place ttophies by careening around comers and catch­ ing air off jumps up to six feet tall. Since BMX's arrival in the early 70's, the sport has taken off rapidly among both young and old people. It is one of the most popular of the new "extreme sports" and can be seen regularly on ESPN and TSN's X- games. "It's a good family sport; my dad is here announcing right now, and it's really fun for the kids," said Ronliy Enns, an 18-year-old Superclass rider from Delta, B.C. "You don't need to sink a lot of money into it, you just need a bike, a helmet, and gloves."
