there are bmx tracks within an hours drive anywhere in south cali.you'll have to get a licence so your covered and the track operator is covered with insurance.you can get a 30 day trial membership witch applies to a yearly. you can take any dert worthy bike on the track as long as you meat the ABA rekwirements.ive used my cruiser,the d/h ride and the hard tail.ive seen and spoken with many d/h riders werking on skills and sprints.(tara llanes)kool chick.cutting edge in cucamonga is a bitchen facility,it gets cold out there so dress warm!

what better excuse do you need to build a custom? You can hand pick every part. You know you want to.
Since this thread started I've been thinking about building a custom cruiser. I'm just not sure if I can or want to get used to riding a twenty. When I ride mine it feels very foriegn and I don't have any confidence on it. Nam when was the last time you've ridden a twenty?

riding a twenty is like riding a 250 motocrosser as apposed to a 500 moto.one 's gonna be cwicker and more easier to move around.haro makes a nice aluminum cruiser off the shelf.as do alot of the mfgs.
