Kind of doing some soul searching so please bare with me...:
I went to a new mx track yesterday and wouldn't even take my bike out of the truck. What I saw were two sets of 50 foot gapped doubles, 75 foot downhill triples, a 65 foot uphill double and an assortment of other rythm sections. I got so bummed that I just went woods riding instead (and I am not a woods guy). I have no doubt that I could have done everything on the track, but I just had no desire to ride it. I am thinking that the sport has simply passed this old guy by and it might be time to close up shop. My local tracks used to be safe and fun, but the big air craze has taken over. I think this is why we have so few mini riders in this area, the tracks intimidate them too bad. At any rate, I am more bummed about riding than I have ever been. I need my own safe track, but cannot do it at this time. If any of you vet riders have ever experienced this, I would like to know what you did. Kinda feel left out. :ugg: :ugg: :ugg:
