only downside for winter is that it is in an open field, so you get murdered by the wind
Since BMX shut down, my daughter and I have been hitting the Camp Olympic Pump track semi-regularly. It's nice, well designed, but quite tight for a "big bike". Quite honestly, it can't compare to Port Jervis so if you are equidistant to both tracks, PJ for the win. However for a kid, it's arguably better.
It also gets really crowded on the weekends, lots of kids, lots of scooters. 5 min from south mountain, so a combo ride is possible also. And yeah, the wind can be a bit brutal.
Thanks, super proud of the way she is progressing. At the rate she is improving and I am regressing, a role reversal relatively soon is inevitable. I kind of can't wait until that happens.Your daughter is quite a ripper!
She's riding great! What bike is she on? At first glance it almost looks like a mini cruiser but maybe those are just 1-3/8" rims? Awesome to see and it must be amazing taking laps with her!Thanks, super proud of the way she is progressing.

Thanks, and good eye, it is indeed a mini cruiser; 24 x 1-3/8. It's a really nice little chromoly Standard I lucked into a deal on used. I also built her a more generic 20" race bike recently, but she has yet to try it out on a track. I introduced her to Stephens a couple weeks ago now BMX is in the back seat behind mountain biking....which is fine with me!She's riding great! What bike is she on?

Wow - I didn't even know they still made mini cruisers. It's another class to run on race day even if it's combined with a number of ages. Standard make a great bike so it will last a long while and probably hold it's value well. Keep her riding everything - I feel the skills transfer between all the disciplines in one way or another!Thanks, and good eye, it is indeed a mini cruiser; 24 x 1-3/8.

Spot on. She races class and then girls cruiser. Pretty much always the youngest in girls cruiser, but it gets her twice the races and twice the practice. And you are correct the skills definitely transfer.Wow - I didn't even know they still made mini cruisers. It's another class to run on race day even if it's combined with a number of ages.

Sadly, she sprouted 4" this year. She'll outgrow the little Standard this year. I'll get my money back but I LOVE that stupid little bike. Will be sad to let it go.
Is that the anticipated time frame for the other trails also? Nassau, flow etc..?I suspect pump track will reopen late April. Depends on rainfall this spring.
