Default Poll: STR Family (BMX) Night....
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in attending a BMX NIGHT?

The plan: Rent out the Orange Y BMX track

The reason: 1) To give STR members an opportunity to ride the track without purchasing an ABA membership 2) To give those who have always wanted to try BMX an opportunity to see what the fuss is all about 3) To give *CHILDREN* an opportunity to ride the track in a pressure free (and safe) enviornment 4) To give *WOMEN* an opportunity to ride the track in a pressure free (and safe) enviornment
5) I miss seeing my STR Brother's and Sister's

The Date: A Saturday evening that has yet to be determined
The Time: I would say 6:00-8/9pm

Requirements: A Bicycle, helmet, long pants and long sleeves

* Fullerton Bikes has offered to sponsor the event!!!
* Your opinions would be most appreciated
* Space will be limited

Rawhead- Tell the wife
Northshore- Bring the kids. I did this for them!!!!

*If you have any ideas or opinions (even if you have no desire to attend the event)... they would be most appreciated!

WITH REGARD TO BIKES:
You are not required to "bring" a BMX bike.
Your DJ/XC bike is all you need...

A DJ bike would be a lot of fun on the track
You will see quite a few if this BMX Night becomes a reality
I would leave the DH bike at home though...

Fullerton Mike is ironing all of that out!
We should know more in a few days.

Worst case scenario, I give my (ride) spot to some kid!
Big deal! I can take pictures!
Like I said, we should know more in a few days...

From the Orange Y BMX website.

"Up to 20 riders on the track Unlimited non riding guest."

Space is not going to be a problem. There are only 8 spots on the gate....
