Pleasanton BMX update

This place is going to be fun when it's finished. Right now I'm stoked most on this dirt half pipe. It has a dirt spine that is just out of the picture, and a table top on one side, that will be a lot more fun once the dirt is packed and smoothed. Click the image above for a high res image.

It looks like it may be some time beore this place is dialed in. A lot of dirt has been moved around since we checked it out in July. The one section that has a finished look is the part pictured below. That part looks like a regular bmx track, and is good for non-jumping friends(or in my case, girlfriend) to get their feet wet.

Be warned that it's really really hot out here. Go early, and bring a lot of water.

Pleasanton BMX Park Under Construction!

After the legal issues the city of San Jose has been facing in the last year over their legendary Nor-Cal Jump Spot, the city of Pleasanton's Bmx park is going to be designed with similar features as a BMX track. Hopefully this doesn't mean boring. It definitely resembles a pedally track as opposed to flowy trails, but at least more people with have a legal place to learn to jump their bikes. It looks like it has potiential!

The first ridable set

The other cool thing about this track is that it's close to 2 other riding spots, which makes the drive worth it. The Livermore Bmx track is about 10 minutes away, and Sand Hill Ranch is also in Livermore. After Downiville, I'm definitely going to be spending a lot of time riding my DOC. Cheers to that!

Hopefully there will be some big easy trick doubles added into the mix.
