Can't make it on Sunday but interested in the talk of a BMX track, it'd be perfect for there, I've always been a bit disappointed in how small the 4X track is compared to say Terry Hills BMX track.
Can you grab a few pics or do you know of any more info on the track?
Ta,
Matt.
It is going to be pretty big by the looks of things, bigger than terry hills the jumps look giant but is still in progress if you have ever been to the ones out penrith way that are on steroids looks like it will turn out like them, prob not for the faint hearted! but is still a little ways off do not know when they plan to have it finished but they have 3/4 of the layout done! so they mainly have to do the first straight and groom the thing!
Bored on Sunday I took a spin out to Olympic Park at Homebush to have a look at the BMX and 4X track and unfortunately have to report being pretty disappointed.
I may be displaying my naivety here but the BMX track looks about as straightforward and lacking in imagination as could be, very little variety and not exactly huge in any dimension...
And don't mention the drainage, I thought they couldn't do a worse job than the 4X track but they have. The jumps are pretty much sand dunes and the puddles were worse than on the 4X track! While it did absolutely chuck it down I was expecting maybe soem lessons learned from the 4X track. Maybe I'm expecting too much but IMHO this isn't a patch on Terry Hills.
