That track has much radness, love the reverence in the sign. "These are sacred grounds. You will treat them as such"
Some of the hits on the right hand line look wikkety-wikkety-wack!

I think it was opened by the council back in the 80s.. back then it was all about who could get around the track the quickest with a starting gate down a ramp.. double whoops, berms and a tabletop.. the council stopped maintaining it after the BMX boom and it became a bit overgrown so riders took it over.. and as you can see, as BMX has evolved, nobody gives a crap about speed anymore, it's all about height and style..
When i was a kid, I bust my front tooth on that track when i took a slam on my Kuwahara so i had to have it capped till i stopped growing, I had it crowned when i got to 16.. when i was 20 i bust my ankle there but after writhing around in agony for a while, i kept riding till the sun went down.. chucked my Zaskar in the back of my £550 Mk2 Fiesta and drove home (with a broken ankle).. the next day my ankle was massive and heavily bruised so i went to get it x-ray'd / plastered.. it was my right foot so i couldn't press the accelerator in the car but rather than use public transport, i used one of the crutches they gave me to press the accelerator with left foot breaking.. i was a much less responsible adult in those days
.. after a few weeks, i had it down to a fine art..

That's why I was shocked about the size of some of the jumps, the track in my town is all about racing. It's actually a National Standard track. We have sanctioned races here, the 2022 Nationals had a stop here, Provincial Qualifiers, etc. Speed is the thing out track is made for. It's a heck of a workout
