I WAS THINKING OF TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER.NO DATE OR TIME IN MIND OR LOCATION.I WAS THINKING AUSTIN TEXAS BUT I AM OPEN TO ANYTHING.I AM ABOUT A 120 MILES FROM AUSTIN ,SAN ANTONIO AND HOUSTON.I CAN GET SOMETHING ORGANIZED IF I GET SOME INTEREST AND WHAT TOWN WOULD GET THE MOST PEEPS TO ATTEND.I WAS THINKING AUSTIN WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS???

looks like i will just have another backyard bike show...1 in attendance[me] and 11 completes and a parts table...maybe i will give myself a good deal........

Lots of folks interested in Austin but it's kind of a bad time of year weather-wise and people just have alot of other stuff going on with the holidays and all that. We're getting ready to open a new track in Leander just outside Austin and I think the possibility of an oldschool show/swap meet sort of thing is pretty good sometime next spring.

please keep me informed ...do we have a link to a track site??? i will be willing to help organize or whatever i need to do to make it happen.austin is a nice little trip..we used to live there.

i would be down for austin. march is a good month.

i will help with anything that needs to happen.i would like to be apart of whatever...even if i am just someone that attends..keep me posted...

Just noticed this.

I'd be down.

It might be a good idea to post this in the vintage forum. I never look at the gatherings forum.

We have some postings on www.txbmx.com where we will continue to update on the track. This will be a central location where we post stuff about central texas bmx. As soon as our track is up, I am going to totally revamp the txbmx site and make it better.

Just to let you Texans know,in case you don't. 26bmx usually has a meet in Austin Tx. I'm not too sure when he has it, but I am almost positive it's in September.PERHAPS, you could combine the 2 into one big shoe...show. Follow the link, there are tons of 26" Cruiser pics on his website.

With enough planning on my part and someone setting a date in stone, I might be able to make it.

Austin sounds like a great place. hadn't been on 6th ST. in a while . keep us posted.

i was told the track will be open on newyears day??? is this just a rumor??

NOW I WAS TOLD IT IS OPEN AND HAS BEEN OPEN FOR A FEW WEEKS????? IS THIS TRUE?? ARE THERE RACES ON NEWYEARS???

The track is not open yet. We will hopefully be open for practice between Christmas and New Years. First race will be New Years day registration 10-11 racing ASAP.

Please do not post in all Cap letters. Thank you.

How ya been, Hal?

thanks shelly for the info...sorry hal i am at work and everything must be in caps...sometimes i type and forget to turn the caps off...

I'd be down for something goin down in Austin. I am in Houston so let us know when & if anything gets developed.

I'm in!

Alright, let's not let this die.

I have and idea I'll throw to the wolves.

How about a gathering in Dallas? I know the owners and managers of a couple bars or restraunts that might be game for said event in their parking lot or common area.

A couple of possible options.

http://www.elbowroomdallas.com/ This place is very close to downtown...and a hospital. Maybe I could call Jeff Newton and see if he'll give a tour of Zorlac skateboards.

http://www.barrettmanor.com/julie/archive.aspx?id=1744 I've spoken w/one of the owners on several occasions and he seems like a cool enough guy. He's in his 30s and likely remembers BMX fondly. A big plus, it'sright next to the Dart Rail, which affords travel all the way to downtown Dallas.

The other option is Country Burger in Plano, TX. They don't have a website that I know of. They also have real Blue Bell shakes No shake base!

I'd be happy to put the feelers out there if this sounds like something worth doing. I know there are lots of you guys in Austin/San Antonio and Houston. Would you be up for a road trip or is DFW like a whole other world away?

Let me know.

dallas is a little far for me.i have a newborn and i only get to dallas 1 time a year for nascar.its like 6 hours for me 1 way.austin/san antonio and houston are approx 2 hours each.i could do that.i would love to meet some of you and show a few of my bikes ...i will keep watching this thread.crisco that sounds like a cool plan but to far for me at this time

That's cool. Just thought I'd throw it out there and see what happens.

March or april+, i might be there, 3+ bikes, ....something down south would be cool....the "nuts" would be Hooters parking lot!,LOL,,claude

any updates???? i am itching to see some other bikes.my rebel is almost done with her makeover.looking for somewhere to take her..my bikes are tired of looking at each other,they want to see others

updates?? what is going on with the new austin track?? is there a schudule posted somewhere???

Spring is here (kind of), any updates? Someone said something about a show in Fort Worth in April?

Thanks

Just a thought. Why not just meet at one of the Frankenbike meets. There is one every month in Austin with a swap meet. Check it out at www.frankenbike.org

I think the Frankenbike thing is the best idea so far. Chris always has a band or two playing, usually a keg, and tons of bike people milling about. We did a VBMX show at one a few years ago and had a blast. Let me know what you guys think and I'll give Chris a call.
