Ecko was built around the same time as Redditch - could have been the real first track along with a couple of the Humberside ones. BMX strated in two places at once in the UK, but only one half the story gets told.

I'm thinking Gloucester too on this one. Never went there tho.

Here is a picture of the race meeting, look how steep the hill is leading into the berm, this is Graham Hoare leading.
