BMX Race on 7/16/13

The BMX area was built for BMX riders.  Saturday when they had practice runs with staff members it was decided that the tracks were to advanced.  The heavy equipment came in and remodeled Saturday night.  It provides a great opportunity for the boys to learn and improve their biking skills.

The first step is to wait in line, then you get your safety gear and some training.  Once your gear is on and your trained, then you are ready for the two qualification runs.  The first run takes you over a few bumps and confirms that you can stop the bike with the hand brake.  The second run confirms that you can go over the jumps and banked turns.  Once you successfully qualify, then you are ready to race on the track.  The races were not treated as competitions as much as they were just an opportunity to ride.  The boys were able to go multiple times.  Therefore, they did not have to do it all in one race.
