Woah, you're right! I was only looking in the US and saw LA was the closest indoor to me.
Burnaby is only a 3 hour drive!
That's awesome, I just need to get a passport and i'm good to go!
Thanks man! I've been around the area (Vancouver) in the past but never thought to look up Velodromes.

Good job. I was expecting more of a sprint from the group on the track.

What song is this? Also that video quality is AMAZING! I was just ripping some old SP footage off a minidv I shot in school a couple years ago and it's like a 8mm compared to this

He's refering to Blaine, MN where he rides. It is indeed an outdoor wood surface track, same as the Superdrome in Frisco, TX where I race.

Well, IDK about Blaine, but at the Superdrome they used special marine wood that is used on the hulls of boats and has a marine paint coating. Nevertheless, the boards do wear with time, and several have to be replaced each season. The paint is quite abrasive to provide better traction, almost like a very fine grip sandpaper, but with the downside of rapid tire wear and bad track rash when you crash.
