Anyone want to get a few laps in tonight (wednesday) out at the Sycamore BMX track in Simi Valley? Practice is from 5:30-8:00 and is $5 info here: http://www.sycamorebmx.com
I'll be heading out in an hour or so... Any and all bike types are welcome! The more the merrier I'll be on a red 26" DJ bike. If ya see me stop and say hi :wave:
I'm heading out to Freedom Park in Camarillo next to the airport. The jumps are a good size and you can pin it through the first couple straits.
I need to get some cranks to get my old BMX bike up and running, and then get my motocross helmet from my brother's house, and then I will be there! First time on a track since Snipes in Norco! I keep talking to my wife about how rad it will be to ride bmx again, and she tells me to calm down...
Did someone say Snipes? It will be as rad if not better! I think I'm having more fun racing BMX now than I did back then. Me at Snipes, circa about 1981
Great pictures! Awesome pics. The top one brought back a rush of memories: my first race, I was pedaling my 165mm Sugino GTs hard into that turn, racing for third place (as a 13 year old put in a race full of 15 and 16 year olds because of a lack of entrants) I lowsided hard, took out two other riders, then got up, picked up the bike, and pedaled away to third! I was so excited. I only got to race there a few times, because I lived in Etiwanda and this was before the 15 extension opened up, but I loved that track. The tabletop was the awesomest jump ever. I just got a set of GT/Profile cranks, so I'll even be able to throw in a little old-school style on my bike. I just gotta get pads and I'll be good to go! May be able to ride next week.
