Hear hear!
Now as for the poll thing:
In general I like home-made ramps the most, mainly because I can't drive so I don't have the ability to go to skate parks, and I don't have a job so I don't have any urban stuff to ride around on. I've never grinded in my life (something that I plan to work on) so I can't say that I like that or not. I've made probably about three structurually sound ramps (all different sizes) as well as a fun box, grind rail (that is low to the ground) and a dirt-jump doubles. Out of those ramps are two eight-inch high wedges that I mostly use for landing ramps, and one two foot high launch ramp. The fun box is a little low to the ground, but we made it in a set to go with the landing wedges. It's (the fun box) four feet long, three feet wide, and eight inches high (like I mentioned earlier). I have a lot of fun on them and have learned a lot of new things from all of that stuff. I'm currently trying to get higher air off of that two-footer, and since it's four feet wide and (I think) eight feet long then I can almost use it as a mini half pipe. So yeah, I'd have to say home-made ramps and such.

I wish he would be banned, that attitude is not welcome here. But unfortunetly I haven't seen any evidence of any of the people owning these forums monitoring what people type, so I doubt he'll get banned.

I like riding in the skate park. Ours is free, they don't mind bikes, and helmets aren't a law.
Well, there's a sign that says bikes aren't allowed and you need to wear helmets and pads, but it's just part of the park, not a seperate place that's monitored or anything.
Home made dirt jumps are pretty fun also.

Yes, race track. You know, BMX? Racing?
I really wish that when "freestyle" had started, oh, sometime before most readers of this forum were born, they had not related it to BMX. I have nothing against it at all, it's just that the tricksters seem to forget the roots of the sport, which is racing.

I know what BMX is, it is racing. I just wasn't sure what you meant by 'track'. It wasn't very specific. And I think he just wanted those that are listed or else he would have put racing as an option. But I think that is because he doesn't race.

Understood. I just find it odd to take a poll in a BMX forum about where you like to ride, and track is not listed as an option. Or trails for that matter.

Glad we got that cleared up. Sorry I didn't understand you.

Yes, you're right queens. BMX tracks and riding on them would probably be considered 'racing', not 'track'.
