    I was watching transit 6 tonight while I was pedaling and noticed the roosts coming off the pros bikes whilst blazing through turns.
    think that dirt berms just look damn cooler…
    I miss those old roosting shot days, and it would be very nice in advertisements for BMX.
    Yea…I mean, I understand maintenance….. but roosts man….
    I remember a Bob Osborne shot in 82 or so where he pans this guys blazing through a berm and this roost is just kicking up behind the dude and it just said….BMX is fast as hell.
    Just rambling..sorry…

    I think dirt is better, but fixing it is such a pain.

    I never raced BITD like you guys, but all of our “tracks” had tabletops and dirt berms.

    Is that Justin Shepard for CW?

    I know one guy thats had enough whining about what BMX has become and is starting a sanction to return BMX to its roots. http://www.bmxl.org

    I’m putting together a proposal for a BMX legend if he approves we are then meeting with an investor. If the Investor comes onboard we are going to apporach a Media group to put on a TV event under BMXL.

    If all that fails Im still gonna try to get this going as a grass roots and buy some land in North Carolina and start a track and go from there. Any help or input is appreciated by using our forums.

    Perhaps basketball should go back to wooden baskets, or tennis should go back to being played with your hands instead of a racket…all sports have evolved…I remember going to Trumbull CT and seeing paved berms for the firstime! I was SO excited when Les pushed to get them at EHT!! As for clips, I wish they had them bitd, I wouldn’t have to have had walked through the halls of high school with bleeding calves under my skirt…instead maybe wrapped in a full body cast. Still, that would’ve been way more cool…
