Bmx Racing

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Just got my daughter into, anybody else do it, its a blast watching her drop down from the starting gate at 5yrs old.

Used to do it as a kid from 5-13...it was a blast...actually trying to rebuild a New Old School JMC Bmx bike....stuff is rare, but that is what I used to ride..
Good luck to your daughter...my sis raced as well; and was pretty good at Moto X on the XR75...

The dam little bikes are expensive too. Blows me away.But worth it to see the smile on her face at practice all night

Funny but it seems prices have not went up that much....a good race bike back in the day (early 80's) cost about $600-800....Phillwood Hubs, OMG or Campy Sealed Headset, Bullseye Bottom bracket and a solid frame and folk really started getting up there....it's still about $800 for a solid bike, but the technology is maybe better today, but probably not by much...
That's cool she likes it...it definitely a fun competitive sport for the family to enjoy and tweak on the bikes...also it does not hurt that much when they fall..

Your right when she laid it down the first night wasnt bad at all. Probably the most family sport i have seen in a while.

Did you know that Stu Thompson ( Team Redline ) is with Riverside PD now? That guy was my hero growing up.

My son did it a few year back and loved it. He wants to get back into it. The problem is the track is about 40+ minutes away from the house so mid week would be tough, especially during school, and we are gone most every weekend, so Saturday nights are out.
They need to build a track on this side of town.
By the way, "The Koz", Jeff Kozmala lives here in town, met him a few times.

Yeah, I did it for about 10 years. I even still have my Bike, its a Boss. Im trying to get my step-son in it. I bought him a Redline Mini......all black. He's five now, I'll wait one more year and then we'll go at it. I also see Shawn Texas from time to time up here in Alameda, Ca.

It's a great sport I raced for 8 years and enjoyed all 8 of them.
