at the indoor bmx track in port orchard. www.gobmx.com they will be setting up the bmx curse like a 4x track.
Is this something new or are you just racing BMX on your mtb? They have let us race the cruiser class on 26" in the past.
4x bikes feel really heavy and slow out of the gate compared to anythign else out there. The lighter and the less travel the better. You only need one gear also. Discs feel stupid as you never touch your brakes and your just carrying around the weight. That said, it's fun as long as other people on mtbs show up.

If you go to gobmx.com you will see there is a 6 race series. At this time the plan is that the last race in March will be a USA Cycling Qualifier for nationals.
It will be 3 moto best overall score system.
We are working hard to get lots of swag and to also have bike demos and a dirt jump demo and maybe a 4x clinic. Lots in the works
Bmx crusiers will not be allowed in the MTB classes it is for MTB bikes only.

Should be a good time tell your buddys to bring out the short travel bikes and the hardtails.
