I was pondering about all the tracks in the UK, past and present and thought it would be cool if everyone listed the tracks they had ridden / raced throughout their BMX years...

Let's have a complete list of tracks that exist / existed in the UK... 

Tony,

I suggest that there should be a new board on this forum called "Tracks, old and new".  On this board there should be a topic dedicated to each track showing its details, name, location, date of construction etc, and where people can post thier pictures, memories, videos etc. A track database of sorts, before they are forgotten.

What says you?

I saw moderators, how 'bout it... I would love to reflect over pictures from every track...

I've made a formal request, have to wait and see what the boss men say 

[superbikedan]

1st one,  me testing the track while the digger is making the track

The Kendal track if I remember correctly was near by the sports hall.  Also remember riding out of a little road from the car park to a main road and a river being there with a bridge.

DEATH TRAP now tho, Josh was off whithin seconds due to council idiots messing jumps up, he broke his nose and we found him in a puddle of blood
