I have to give props were props is deserved here. I used to ride those trails back in the day and they were top notch. Guys and riders from all around rode there. They were always being re-vamped and in the 80’s and early 90’s that was the place to be.. Tom Gillespie and Jeff Lamb and numerous other local riders Christine lisnock, Salzmans, Bill Populas, Dave Levy, Ect made that place way back when. Heck I think Christine Still Rides and I know up till about a Year or so ago Jeff Lamb and John Salzman were riding. Some fast riders rode there. I remember racing at Flemington BMX or Sunday at Howell and then going back to Cranford to ride. In the 90’s the Union crew took over the place and kept it going in the memory of the Cranford locals. Bill I saw a posting on here written by a I guess Jeff Lamb and I know he wasn’t being disrespectful to you or Chris sloyan. He takes that place seriously because that was a place he built for years and years. I am willing to bet he built the 1st jump in there and I was there when Chris sloyan beat the crap out of him as well… ITs home for Jeff and thats where his BMX roots started.. So let Jeff Blow off some steam he’s a good guy and ultra fast at least he was a few years back. Does anyone know if he is still racing I look on the internet and I think he was riding for BMXmania.. I still live in Union County and I walked thru there a couple days ago to have some fond memories. I hope whoever decides to or if they decide at all to re do them they make them Rad so future Generations of Riders can enjoy the same fun I did. A good group of riders rode back there and I have no clue where many of them ended up. But maybe one day off this site they can have a Reunion. That place ruled and I have many fond memories of Cranford Trails.

Thanks Cranford…
