Awesome! I never raced, but, did manage to make it out to a track once. Took a moment to get the start-ramp-balancing-act thing down. Think I managed to pull off a table top, once. I was in Northern VA, everyone was into BMX then, so many brands, love how each brand had its own signature frame design touch. BMX, no lugs, lot's of stainless steel, grippy flat pedals, anodized parts, and beefy knobby tires.
