Billy ‘Junk’ Jones, fastest Pump Track rider in Honiara takes home the big prize
Pure BMX skill displayed at the opening of the Kukum Pump Track translated into a big prize for one lucky rider. Billy ‘Junk’ Jones pumped his way to victory yesterday as he set the blistering record of 24.91 seconds. Billy, having set the fastest time of the day was rewarded with a fitting prize - a brand new BMX bicycle.
The BMX was donated by the Police Community Relations Team’s social club, the Participating Police Force. The club raises monies through the collection of cans for recycling. Lou Barrow, from the Police Community Relations Team, coordinated and delivered the prize to the opening of the Pump Track yesterday. Lou said the social club was ‘always on the look out for a worthwhile cause and the Pump Track program is a great initiative’.
The Kukum pump track appreciated the oppoutunity to win the fantastic prize.
