Anyone know where the new BMX track in Northridge/Chatsworth area is?

 

[dv8cam]

Rocky Point Church BMX track, in Chatsworth off Santa Susanah Pass. Will open in about 2 weeks. Pretty slick track! NBL.

 

[Brian Peterson]

You also have Santa Clarita and Simi both of which are pretty close to you...

Brian

 

[dv8cam]

I know. You and I have been riding there for atleast a decade. Rocky Peak is closer to home for me...and it has shade! And most importantly, is NBL.

ABA sucks ass.

 

[Brian Peterson]

ABA and NBL both have the pros and cons... But I'll be blowing the dust off the NBL cards and showing up at Rocky Peak, too. I need to use the thing more than once a year.

I'm looking for a new track in my area. I rode Sycamore for the first time in about 8 years and was a little dissapointed... the jumps have gotten really flat. I remembered them being bigger and steeper. So have any of you guys been to this one yet? If so have any feedback?

 

[Brian Peterson]

I tried to go the other week... I found a locked gate..... Track looked pretty good though.. I need to call the TO and find some more definite hours...

wow! i just randomly saw this thread. this place is 5 mins from my house and i knew nothing about it. but i am away at college. im totally gonna ride here over xmas break.
do they allow mtn bikes?
what is this place like?

 

[marlopez]

anyone?! im so excited to ride this track. do u know if sycamore bmx allows mtn bikes? i havent been there since i was in 8th grade. about about santa clarita? do they allow mtn bikes?

also, do u knw if you have to get an ABA or NBL membership to practice?

 

[Brian Peterson]

Both Sycamore and Santa Clarita will allow mountain bikes to come out and ride... I sometimes use my DS bike in the cruiser class just to do something a little different.. But expect to have to buy at least a 30 day temp membership to be able to ride.

Brian

 

[marlopez]

nice. 30 days will be good for thanksgiving-xmas break. ya i want to ride my mtx/ds bike there. are the jumps nice?

are there any othe rpeople that are riding mtn bikes there?

 

[Brian Peterson]

Both tracks are pretty nice... More jumps at Santa Clarita. Plus the pro section if you are up for it... Simi is still pretty fun, I try to get out there at least once a month for a change of pace from riding Santa Clarita all the time. Usually a few MTB riders at Santa Clarita, I don't know about Simi...

Brian

 

[marlopez]

sweet. you havent ridden the chatsworth one have you?

-mario

 

[Brian Peterson]

Not yet.... Haven't had a chance to try and get back out there.... Looked pretty good when I drove by one afternoon... I went to go race and found a locked gate...

Brian

 

[redical]

sweet. you havent ridden the chatsworth one have you?

Okay, jsut talked to a friend of a friend of Chris' and I guess the scope is that they just got the gate in after a long wait. They are now waiting to pour some aspahlt (my guess is for the berms). So it will be open in the future, but I doubt it will be in time for your Thanksgiving trip back to SFV.

horsepoop! its not even open yet? darn i guess ill hav eto go to simi or santa clarita

 

[marlopez]

i just drove by the chatsworth track. i had to look from up the hill b/c the gate was closed. but it looked pretty cool. i didnt notice if the starting gate was up or not yet. but the dude at valley bicycles said that they dont have a gate yet. anyway...i recommend to not go to valley bicycles they wouldnt let me use a pump to put a tube in my tire....................................

on another note. if anyone is down to go to sycamore bmx in simi, with me tomorrow. im gonna be there at 5.

 

[Brian Peterson]

I would double check and make sure they are open this week.... Just in case the track opperators are going to the ABA Grands this week.... Better safe than sorry...

Brian

 

[marlopez]

oh its the grands this week? thanks for the heads up. ill call tomorrow
-mario

 

[Brian Peterson]

No problem. Chance are they will be, but I don't know for sure.

On a side note,Santa Clarita will be open this week.... I get to help keep it open while our track op is in Tulsa...

Brian

 

[marlopez]

are u going to be there today? will you allow me to ride my mtb? do i have to have an ABA membership? i have a NORBA one heh

 

[Brian Peterson]

Santa Clarita isn't open tonight... We will be open Tuesday and Wednesday for practice starting at 6:30.... Closes somewhere around 8:30... Usually 9:00... And we will racing on Friday and Saturday, sign ups 6:30 to 7:30.

You will at least need a temporary membership... Cost, $15.00
