Title: Hereford bmx track today
Post by: se-bmxer on August 31, 2008, 07:00 PM

Myself and Tony Baldwin met up at the old 80's Hereford bmx track today, even though
most of it is over grown its still rideable be it 1 line but its something to ride and do sprints
on, we're gonna try and get this track rebuilt sometime next year but in the meantime
we're hoping the council will let us sort out the last 2 straights and put some better
jumps on so that theres something to train on.

That brings back memories, only raced there once even though I grew up 20 miles away. Is the old skatepark bit in the middle still there?

Hey guys, great to hear that something may develop out of the remains of the Hereford track. The inlaws live nearby so whenever we make the trip across the country from Brixton the bikes come with us, we will probably be there this coming Sunday. You never know it may end up being our local track one day when we get fed up with living in London. Marc & Lorenzo Wojtanowski

The berms look in pretty good nick. Wish I'd got up there yesterday but the weekend got too busy. I'll be there when the rain stops though.

Bit of work and it could be ok.  The berms are very low though

Its just that you're bigger now...they were probably huge when we were kids  ;)
