WARSAW – Traditionally, being told on your birthday that you’re ‘Over The Hill’ means you are 40. For Hire Park, going over the hill is a totally different metaphor.

Going over the hill is something riders have been doing at Hire Park BMX for 30 years, and riders old and new all celebrated in style Saturday as part of the park’s 30th year of existence.

The lead-up to the celebration was merely a simple idea from Jerry Landrum in 1986, which morphed into what riders and fans saw Saturday in a day full of pros to striders zipping down the BMX track.

Results from the 30th Anniversary races ranged from two-year-olds on strider bikes to the pros ripping it on flat pedals and their own pipes. Here’s a rundown of how Saturday’s action shook out (parentheses indicate bike number):
