    Good times guys! It was great to see everyone.

    Nice video! I should have went high instead of low. Thats what not riding the track gets ya! My thoughts were.... >>> Hey that looks like dirt. Huh, it feels like dirt.. Wow, it even tastes like dirt:?:!! I guess its dirt#-o<<< Glad I could take a soil sample for the team.

    Oh and bryguy, I won't be the one buying dinner next time!!

    I need to get down there.
    I haven't heard any complaints about the new layout.
    Lighting looks like it could use an upgrade, or is it just the video camera angle(s)?

    I went to Bellflower last Thursday for the first since they re-worked everything. The track seems a lot more physical which is good. The lighting definetly needs an upgrade. It gets really hard to see around turn 2.

    Had a great time last night! It was good to see everyone. I'm feeling a mid-back muscle today that I'd forgotten about.

    The new Bellflower track is GREAT; good flow, good cardio challenge for sure.

    track's good dino. the rollers are a little peaky for the non-jumping inclined. It'll take a few trips back and some more balls before I can really get around the track as I'd like to...

    it is a burner though. I was majorly worked by the time I got to the 3rd straight (you can see how fast Hugh closes on me there in the vid). hopefully I'll be a bit more fresh for the next time though.

    oh, and the burger was delicious! :lol:

    oh, we'll see, now won't we? Best of seven gets free dinner? :beer:

    I wish I had been able to go, but work got in the way. Maybe we can get back into a grove of riding again. I have been trying to get out there as much as i can.

    normally, I'd love to go, but it's like a 2.5hr drive in traffic. BMX is fun, but not that fun. especially when I've got orange Y, whittier, and bellflower right here...

    Yes but the new track is defiantly more designed for BMX bikes.

    You will need an ABA membership, you can get temp ones too. Besides that you need legs and arms covered and a helmet.

    I'm gonna go ahead and not make dinner bets on races with Ryan. That's about as good of an idea as playing roulette based on the history board. I'll stick to winning dinners off Hugh ;)
