Bmx, Horse Race, Downhill, and Betelnut Climbing

Some other activities held to celebrate our City's anniversary and our country Independence Day that will be on August 17 (it will be during the Ramadhan days thus the activities are being held earlier).To our small town - due to the lack of kind amusing events - those happenings could be such rare entertainments. I just hope that those events will be held annually.


BMX Super Cross 2010
This event was held on July 25, 2010 in Bendosari circuit, Salatiga and being followed by lots of racers from around Indonesia. Actually this event is also held in several cities around the year. Even, some racers are national bike athletes that represent Indonesia in international championships.

Pordasi (Horse Race)
This event was held on August 7-8, 2010 in Horse Race Arena Tegalwaton, Tengaran Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, Central Java. It was a national championship. Unfortunately I could not watch this new experience because there was another event being held on the same day, and we (me, my sister and my lil nephew) chose the next one.


UKDI National Downhill 5th Series, Salatiga, August 6-8

It was held in Salib Putih race arena with distance of 1.350 m and 153 rider final run.

Betelnut Climbing

It was held to celebrate our Independence Day. Not only this game but some other interesting-sporty games were held in Pancasila square on August 8, 2010. Some funny things happen while those climbing the betelnut covered with oil to get lots of presents hanging up around.
