I know of the Track 2000 in milton. I find it very boring there and am looking for a great area just to bmx. You know like go off of huge jumps and junk. I also know the Burlington race track as well. Behind Emma's Back Porch, in that area, it is worse that the Track 2000 in Milton. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions where an avid BMX dude like me could have his fun.

LOL.

I use to build my own jumps at a bottom of a forest, but getting down there was a pain in the *** and to get the jumps to be big was also very difficult.

How many of you out there, remember the movie RAD?

(I guess this is giving away my age)

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0091817/trailers

That's also the very first time, I saw someone on film do a back flip on a BMX bike. I remember being like.....

I owned a Redline RL20 II, with all the goodies......Flight Cranks, Odyssey locking brake levers, Gyro...ect...ect...ect..

I even made my own Pogo Pegs in shop class.

speacialized fat boy...I was looking at a 415 back in the summer but it was so cramped and didnt' feel right when I took it out....dirt jumping is only cool when you have a mx bike then you get some real air..way better nothing like hitting a jump 3rd gear tapped and jsut facking launching and soaring

It is......but why?


DL it.

I'm pretty sure it's available "somewhere".


BTW, that's also the first time I heard that song.

There is a sick track behind the mill pond in Milton.. you have to be pretty ballsy to enjoy it.
It's like go big or go home track.. You have to commit yourself to do a huge jump and then follow through to clear the next.


I can give directions if you guys are intrested.
