Cool. Where are those tracks?

Now Peter Piper picked peppers, but Run rapped rhymes.
Humpty Dumpty fell down, that's his hard time.
Jack B. Nimble, what, nimble, and he was quick,
but Jam Master was faster, ......

I'm the King of Rock
There aint none higher
sucker MCs
should call me sire
To burn my kingdom
you must use fire
I won't stop rockin
till I retire????

where's my cardboard???

TriCity is in Rotterdam, Cheryl Lindsay is in Binghamton, CNY is in Bridgewater (20 min. south of Utica) They are all NBL.

I think everyone is waiting for Headrush to build the indoor track in Syracuse. Syracuse needs a track, they are centrally located so you'd think they'd have a decent draw.

I want to build a track here in Greece, NY.

if you rebuild cool tool,with a rhythm section,i'm gonna move back....oh u asked who i was before,i was the young punk chasing whitey and dave james around hilton track...did a few solid years of nationals..but also did all the eba races before c.t. opened...sundays in syracuse etc..now 36,blown out elbow,aba card holder (20 and 24") waiting to win a state plate....or 3 (cali)

this is me and my son Ocean..he is ripping on a mini Intense (thanks fullerton bikes mike).

I know this was taken in NY. Does anyone know what track it was?

Whoops wrong forum.

PAYBACK IS A B!TCH MR. BAKER!!!!

I think that track in the background is Drake Well in Titusville, PA back in the EBA days.

I was gonna guess an NBL national that was held at the Niagara County Fairgrounds....'82?

rick hipwells dad owned titusville right?
the water jump and gnar step in the last turn?

dude....you look like your wearing speedos....ahahahhahhaa

ahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaa


you just made the SOLID GOLD club.

The picture looks like it's from Presque Isle in Pa. taken from the backside of turn one. The tower between the starting hill and finish line is exactly the same way today.

Good call........that is Presque Isle. I think I raced a Regional there in 1998.

It had a long first straight with a big triple near the end. If you boomed the triple you had mad speed for the small first turn. I remember railing the corner hoping I wouldn't fall off....

Hmm, I don't remember ever going to Presque Isle. That's me in the pic though. I went on that trip with Goracy and Pavlot. Remember when EBA had the Challenge cups, didn't they run them on weekends at two different tracks that were close to each other? I know one of the tracks was Titusville. As I look at the pics in this package there are 2 different tracks we were at. Wasn't there another EBA track down there?


OK, is this one Titusville?


Billy Robins


Ray Goracy, forgot the other guys name


another view of the track


Mr. Hipwell? I think we stayed at there house down there.



Ray Goracy, Dawn Marquardt, Tom Pavlot

That's Evan (T-Bear) with Ray. And that is Titusville, PA. I always liked that track until DJ layed the smack down from Lane 8. hahaha

Those were some good times. By the way nice wife-beater Billy.....hahahahha

They still have that giant roller on the first straight at Titusville. The nice thing about the Pa. tracks is they all seem to be maintained nicely.

whitey-whats going on with the reunion? any news?

August is what I heard too. We will have to show up a couple days before to build DJ's track and hit the Canadien ballet.

I need to start training so I can win the standup wheelie contest and high speed manualing contest. I know I have the long jump off a block of wood locked up.

Oh yeah, we have to stop at Country Sweet....

Mdurg -

MARK IT DOWN
Tattoo it somewhere. ( so U can read it )
I just saw GORACY like 30 minutes ago and he said he's down for the trip.
I FORGOT TO ask him where my pic's are..DAMN it.

I'll get'em.

PAVLOT

"I need to start training so I can win the standup wheelie contest and high speed manualing contest."

No way anyone can beat me at that....
I pulled a nice one yesterday going down a big hill.

Pavlot brought over his pics. Many are waterlogged and ruined, but there are some keepers in there.

This could get ugly... Vuarnet glasses, sweatshirts tied around the neck, half T shirts, tight jeans, lines shaved in the sides of the head and mullets. I won't mention any names - yet. Ahhh yeah, got to love the 80s.

This should probably broken out into a separate EBA thread.

Durg, I don't care which thread you put them in. Break those babies out!

I just came back from the Roch with a box of pictures. Let's just say I have some good stuff on some people....so be nice to me.

I have to agree with Durg, alot of mullets and tight jeans. The rest of you look funny too....hahaha
I will start to post soon.

Tim - if we are talking full on sprint to manual I'm gonna win. I have great balance at high speeds. If we are talking about normal everyday manuals, I'm out. But watch out for Jim he still has all the skills. Sit down wheelie contest: I would also put my money on Superfly or the kid in Chicago who beat Craig Reynolds, and as far as we know is still going....

Oh yeah, got my Country Sweet on! 20 piece hot....

I dunno...I ride almost everyday, and wheelie half the time. I'm Peter Pan bee-yotch!

I got my old PROFILE from GORACY yesterday. Little spit and polish and some new rubbers and she'll be good to go. The old TIOGA comp III 's are a little !!! DRY rotted.. would like to find a set of them 1 1-1/2's to slap on her. OLD SCHOOL. and a black KASHIMAX AERO seat and she'd be straight.
DURGEE get those pic's posted dude.. there are some beaut's....

Do you know any of these guys??

Cool pic....

Nice stuff Whitey,

Steve

I have to say...it was people like:
Jim Williams, Joe Robins, and Ken Aman
that really inspired a lot of people to race BMX.
Not just because they were such great riders, but such great people!
Dave, any older photos?

wow man...
this thread is great.

thanks stanzbmx.


(my dad said he found a shoebox full of a bunch of us hanging around can-am and cool tool...)

remember yachzi's bike shop track? (sorry abt spelling)
i was like 11....jeez...

Whitey,
You definately had style bro!

Those are great pics. I have a bunch, but I have no way to post them. Anyone willing to post them if I e-mail them to you?

Jud, anything for a fellow brother...(Holmes).

Jud,

You should be able to set up a free account on Photobucket.com. Once you do this, you simply cut the URL from photobucket and then paste the URL of the picture into the vintage thread. It is pretty easy. Good luck.

Paul

remember yachzi's bike shop track?

Yup...and Barones and Brooks!

Here is a montage of a New York BMX racer:
