BMX in club format?

[MACinRWC]

is there any type of controlled bmx riding besides dirt races, that are legal, and of popularity?

[jonly]

yeah, local contests all the way up the X Games.

[FitRider 921]

Contest riding.

[fuzzbox]

My town is bike friendly (road bike) but it lacks anything BMX.

[wethepeople]

Same situation as fuzzybox, we have nothing BMX here.

[jonly]

organize something. Start by asking places like the Y to sponsor. There are so many resources on the internet to help you along the way.

ya
I started a cycling club at my school-I'd like to be able to open up to the bmx population
but it seems all illegal(skateparks) and out of reach (dirt riding)

any ideas?

[live4muzic2]

build trails.

Not enough people in this town really care whether there are clubs or not, I don't. I don't need a club to go riding, I call up some friends and if they want to ride, we ride, if not, then I just ride.

Closest thing to a 'club' we have is usually weeknights in october around 6:00 is a few local BMX riders take over the downtown skatepark.

[jonly]

that seems close enough.
our skateshop has "BMX Thursdays" at a pretty nice indoor park.

But our city park, with a big bowl has a huge "NO BIKES" sign hanging up.

[live4muzic2]

the idea is bike for 15 minutes. leave an hour come back. repeat.

[MACinRWC]

so what I'm getting out of this
is that
bmx is...
-skateparks(illegal)+dirt trails(isn;t that mountain biking)

[MACinRWC]

what would be the ideal condition for a bmx rider

ex:bmx bowl?... what is the intention of a bmx rider?

[wethepeople]

BMX Trails=Dirt Jumps.

Ideal condition? A place where we can progress and have fun.

Intention of a BMX rider? Have fun, progress and get better.

[fuzzbox]

There was something in the paper about the Y and BMX saying the trannies aren't made for bikes so they're liability won't cover it.
