St Pete BMX (NBL) Options

[Kalevich]

St Pete thanks all the riders that came out and raced our special Christams race today. We also had our annual Christmas Party and everyone had fun.
Look for pictures on www.stpetebmx.com and youtube.

Will be coming to check out the new track here soon Bob. After several years I bought a new bike and am getting back into it. I couldnt believe it when I saw that the Tyrone location was leveled flat haha. When did that take place and how long has the new track been operating? Also what was the reason behind redoing the new track so soon?
Thanks bud,

MAtt,
Sorry missed this post. The tracked moved to the new location in Jan 2009 and we opened a few weeks before the state qualifier that was held here. Many felt the layout of the track was not spectaor friendly and the layout had some issues. The parent counsil wanted to freshen up the track give the riders a track that was fun and challenging for all riders.

So far the reviews and comments have been positive, the onky issue we have left is the starting hill and the gate which should be lowered about 20' from where it is now.

Thanks
Bob

Noticed you mentioned the starting hill... are you planning on lowering it? I think that would probably be a good thing for the new riders, especially the little ones. I know mine is terrified of it.

But I realize that is a big undertaking.

The hill is always a topic of conversation. The NBL mentioned that the hill is great, but that we should put a second hill in for the rookies and novice riders.
We have the second gate, just need the dirt and manpower to add the second hill and the second straight.
Next time you are out at the track ask for me at registration I would like to meet you.
I ride the red redline cruiser with the gold hubs.
Thanks
Bob
