I was in the US a couple of weeks ago and my buddy lives just down the road from the Chandler BMX track.
I had no idea how famous that track was. I didn't even stop and get a pic (drove past it every day for a week).

You were how close, and drove by how many times?
50 lashes......

The first ABA Track, I agree 50 lashes with a comp III. I loved racing at that track.

first public appearance of a 'trick team' as well.

Awww come on guys....it was 120oF out there!
Small animals and birds were bursting into flames just standing still!

That's normal, I grew up there, just moved from there in 06, suck it up and get on the bike

I drive by it everyday on my way to work. I ride there at least once a week. Great palce with lots of history.

i live a few minutes away from chandler bmx...
its a great track, very fun.
that reminds me, i need to renew my aba membership.

Reckon you'd be having to peel your tyres off the track at the moment!

Yep...the white building on the right there has CHANDLER BMX written on it in light blue letters around 3' tall.

Yep, that's it, Chandler BMX, ABA track #1. It's been on that same piece of property since 1975. I'll be out there tonight riding on a piece of BMX history.

Great session out at Chandler last night. I'm not sure if any of you were out there or not.

Anyone got some photo's?

Damn...still can't believe I didn't take a pic!
Oh well...there's always next year.
