Playing in the park
My son and I went out for some street riding/ goofing off this evening. Will you just look at what we found where a softball field was.
A new track
The boy was a blur.....

You should have a blast out there. BMX in fun as hell on a mtb and the woops will help you to learn to pump over bumps to increase your speed.
Do they have any step-ups and table tops?
Enjoy.

Damn, that looks so cool!
I live in Brooklyn NY, and there is nothing to ride around me.
I have to suck it up and ride down some pretty small hills in the parks near me.
And the only jumps i have is thee extra mounds of dirt near the baseball diamonds.
I'm very jealous.

Safety First....yeah baby!!!!!!! They have been racing there for about two weeks. Its perfect smooth as glass and fast. My SS with the holyrollers are great there. It's got about 3 tables and 4 step ups. Gastro, next time your up we'll ride trails then do the track.

Cool, looks like a pretty fun track.. but that rythm section is pretty long.
Here's some photos of the track here:

I hate you guys...I'm seriously, here.
We've got a local track, but I don't know if we can ride MTB's on it or not....

Where about is that track and is it open to the public or is it private? Wouldn't mind going there and playing for a bit sometime.

I've used my imagination as well... you have to when your an urban rider!
What i am talking about is dirt stuff, like the picture in this post.
after 31 years of riding the street, i seek something different... DIRT!
Plus, i don't have the time to search the mean streets of NY looking for some new cool stuff to ride,
as I am in work all day

Just stop the track and ask. If you want a realy good workout use a 40+lb dh rig. We take ours out their for a bit of fun but it works your arse off. DBD
