Paul, where's was the Murray' local track, "Power Monkey" located (Google map?)
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?
