Hey guys this is pretty cool, if they ever decide to put a bmx track in the middle of tempe first thing i'll be doing is buying a bmx bike!!

It must be a fairly big velodrome, probably 400m somewhere...

I've got a BMX

Whats the flat sealed track between the velodrome and the dirt track ?

[Simon Llewellyn]

i assume it is the warm up track for both the velodrome & bmx's but i guess you could race on it too as a flat track?

There was a competition or something at Five Dock Park's BMX/Skateboard rink on Sat which I dropped in for a look. There were BMX riders doing stunts in the concret bowls. Their bike handling skill was just fantastic with somersaults, bike spins, wheel stands and more.

man would that get dirt onto the velledrome?

I was thinking the same. I recon it would be too tempting not to ride the motorpace motorbike over it.

And i thought this was going to be about those crazy Japanese Kierin riders with their huge amount of body amour http://www.cyclingnews.com/trackphotos. ... 0704/armor and the fact that they ride on basically sandpaper tracks (ensures the race can still run in the rain).

Anyway, the BMX track looks like fun, though i think i'd prefer that figure 8 track http://www.consolati.com/hpr/hpr.html
