edited December 2009 in A Moving Train
I have been involved in BMX or bicycle motocross with my Son for five years now and we have had a blast
met some great people and been all over the United States and parts of the world.
BMX racing is not the trick stuff like back flip's and such, it a race on a 900' to 1200' track
once you get involved it's part of your life.
my Son is a two time world champion and a national age group champion for the last four years
his name is Rusty .
the sport is full of great rider's age's 3 to 50 and even older, there will be a show on t.v DEC.29th at
5:30pm on a station called verses or vs. if you get a chance check it out.

    :lol:
    You confused me... I couldnt' figure out if there was some kind of bmx racing tour involving the big 'wall' that is part of the track in the final race of the movie RAD....or if you were talking about Pink Floyd...("a few years back" thru me off) :D
    No, I had a chance to see Floyd in 94 and ended up splittign with my gf and not going....I have never regretted missing a show so much in my life!
  • There are still rumors going around that Roger Waters will tour The Wall next year with some of the other members of Pink Floyd (i.e. the ones NOT named Gilmour) making cameo appearances from time to time.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    My hubby saw Roger Waters a couple of years ago in Manchester, he said the show was amazing even without Pink Floyd.

    Also my 2 of my son's friends compete at motorcross, one at a national level. Scary to watch kids do it though.

    that sucks, i had tickets to see roger waters in 99 or 00, whenever that tour was but ended up not going because of a girl that later became my ex, she made me miss the who around the same time as well :evil:

    i saw a boot of roger waters live from the 80's on vinyl the other week but didn't get it then, i had planned on going back to that store today but we got snow and sleet so i just stayed home

    back to the original topic i may check this out, thanks

    I used to ride my BMX around my hometown with Zach Shaw when I was growing up. He's been a pro BMX rider since 1989.

    YUP...BMX. Always wanted one as a kid. But I always got the handme down neighbourhood bikes, so there wasn't much chance of that ever happening! ;) But I will always remember the movie BMX Bandits, the first movie for Nicole Kidman, and an aussie staple if you were a kid in the 80's!!! :D

    He also used to shoot enough heroin to kill a small horse.

    Dude !! Your son is killin it. I used to race a little when I was real young when I lived in Atlanta.I had a Hutch pro raider.There was a BMX track in Powder Springs,but I didnt stick with it for very long as far as racing in sponsored events. I enjoyed free riding more. I hope your son sticks with it.

  • Seeing that vid of your kid is taking me back to my old daydreams, Godfather.

    I soooo wanted to be a BMX racer when I was, oh, eight. We had a fun little community track in White Rock, NM that nobody was ever on, so I'd spend a lot of time there imagining that a race was on. Then we had a pretty decent, but small race track at the San Bernardino, Ca YMCA. They would have little races for us day campers. Fun!

    Hope your kid keeps kickin' butt.
