back when i first started riding Bradford i came across an old knackered large bmx-track, the surface had turned into a horrible slimey black goo :teef: it still had a couple of huge steep burms and a start section, the main layout was still visible with old half buried car tyre barriers. the very worn down doubles and a couple of table tops were still jumpable but only just though, I was wondering if this track was a major one at some point? considering its size compared to the original 1984 Yeadon bmx track my local, its was just off Manchester road above the T&A roundabout in the city center 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Sounds like the old Myra Shay track, a fair few on here who raced there BITD.

There's a few pics of racing at the track on the site somewhere............


There is a new track in Peel Park.

"myra shay"...sounds familiar from when I used to ride with GARY/BIG-SI/ASH/ORGY/ROB and the rest of Bradford crew, ive rode peel loads over the years since its rebirth in 92/3 :slayer: never been into racing to be honest just used to do bit of dirt jumping, and watch ASH jump everything super smooth and silent like a ninja :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

rooski:
Don't remember those names, wasn't around at that time, know Oggy(Martin).

Did you ever ride the Brighouse trials  ???

Used to live near there, watched them regularly when walking the Pooch, no way could I ride them  :shocked:

tried a couple of times to ride the b/h trails and the Shipley glen set up, I was never good with trails I preferred single jumps(jump box style) ::) stupid me I did mean OGGY and not "orgy" sorry about that, the rest of the guys were from the early to mid 90s..good times 8) we rode Bradford center a lot it used to be really good bitd, the new shopping center looks to have some smooth areas good for riding flatland! which is all I do now a days ;) ;) ;) ;)
