I will be out of the office starting 03/06/2008 and will not return until
03/10/2008.
I will respond to your message when I return on Monday, March 10th.
Here is a general schedule for the 2008 race season for HDBMX ! For a more detailed schedule and information please go to www.highdesertbmx.com.
This Saturday, March 8th we will be hosting a WORK TO RIDE day.If you work between the hours of 9am to 12pm Saturday, or if you have helped the track in any capacity this 2008 season you are welcome to ride after track work is done around 12:00pm!
We will be trying to complete the framing of the new registration/concession booth and carpenters are a high priority at this time.
The track is really starting to come along great but there are several places that need attention, we will need people to water, rake, groom, screen dirt etc..Bring your gardening tools, wheel barrows, pitch forks, weed burners etc.. There are a couple of piles of bark chips that need to be spread & some clean up of the spectator area needs to be done.
Every Tuesday & Thursday we are having open practice from 4pm till dusk - all ABA rules will apply.
Hope to see you this weekend.
Tim Walker 480-8766 Track work
Mark Smith 419-2387 Building work
Sunny Harmeson 410-0808 Track operator.

Jaque Talbert our track treasurer, JJ Nortons mom, Milo & Jacksons grandma, was hospitalized Feb.22nd & still remains in the hospital as of this time. she has blood clots in her lungs & will remain in the hospital untill the problem can be resolved, keep her in your thoughts & prayers. The staff & riders of HDBMX would like to give Jaque best wishes & complete & speedy recovery & best wishes to the nortons family.
WORK PARTIES SCHEDULED FOR EVERY SATURDAY ( Sundays if possible ) THRU MARCH
Here is an update from this Feburarys work parties.
Mark Smith has been making great progress on the new consession/registration booth, if work continues to progress the booth should be close to being ready by opening weekend.
Lots of clean up has been done & with 1 or 2 more good working days everything should be in good shape in the spectator areas.
Track condition is looking fair, About 70% of the track has had its 1st packing, all the puddles have been pumped out & with a few good days of weather the packed areas shoud start setting up even more. The rythme section has still not been packed.
Saturday March 1st will be our next work party,
On the Schedule:
Grooming of the Rythme section from 9:00 AM till 12:00 - Rolling of rythme section will start @ 12:00
The face of the 1st jump will need to be recapped before its next rolling. We need to generate more cap dirt.
All 4 corners will need to be groomed & rolled 1 more time.
Any soft spots that were to wet to pack this last weekend will need to be taken care of ( About 5 or 6 spots)
Anyone that can burn the weeds will be welcome to do so.
2 piles of bark chips need to be spread out.
We are planning on trying to relocate the tower & we need to start building a footing base for the relocation of the tower.
Construction of the new building may be questionable due to the possibility of Mark not being in town next weekend ( March 1st) All other weekends we should plan on trying to complete the new building - Skilled construction workers will be a plus - We will update this later in the week
OK now here is the offer to you all, Work to Ride
Weather & track condition permittng, After the rythme section is rolled in, (Saturday March 1st) we will try to open the track for the 1st ride of the season to ALL WHO HELPED in this 2008 season at High Desert BMX - Helping at any phase (i.e. sweat equitty, consessions, registration, Donations, etc.) (who are a registered member of the ABA & HDBMX) This will solely depend on if we can get all the problem areas fixed and we can determin that the track will be safe to ride. Hopefully this test ride will show us whether or not we will be able to start running practices open to all starting way sooner than scheduled (I.E. the week of March 4th thru the 8th) It is my goal to be able to run a couple of practices per week all the way up to the NATIONALS in April - We are close to making that happen & it will happen if we get the help.
WORK PARTYS ARE SCHEDULED EVERY SATURDAY THRU MARCH
9:00 am till afternoon - all of these days will be considered work to ride partys - get lots of work done between 9:00am to 12:00 & earn the right to ride in the afternoon.

We will keep you posted if any changes are to be made - Also check the web site often for changes & News
Thank You for that Information! Once I knew where to go, I found it easily! I was still wondering, however, if there are only certain races that get riders "points" that track on the ABA Point Tracker? My son raced tons last summer/fall but he isn't on the ABA Point tracker at all. How do I look into this? He placed well in almost all his races. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for starting the group Brad! I actually found it just the other day when I was doing my searching for Nationals and just cruzing the track websites! I know I will be using it tons, as myself and my son are new as of last season to BMX but we plan to stay involved for a long while! We are getting ready to move to Portland, however, but I will still stay with the group! I anticipate needed help knowing the best places to go in the valley to get him on the track! I know nothing at all about tracks over there! Anyway, thanks again!

Hey there everyone! My name is Nickie Carter, and my son Austin Carter rode HDBMX all summer and fall last year, and a couple times at Smith Rock. I am just trying to find out how to get him registered for Nationals on April 4th-6th? Does anybody know? I have been all over
different track's sites and the ABABMX site, but can't seem to find out how to register. Also, how do I go about finding out why Austin isn't in the points tracker from last summer/fall on the ABA website? He won or placed in various races, but we are new to all this so just wanting to find out how to get this information! Thanks for the help! Happy Winter!

We're gonna be on Good Morning Central Oregon on June 12th and need
video footage to get to them soon. Here's the message from Kristi Miller:
"Hi Brad: You are confirmed for Tuesday, June 12th. 6:35am arrival
time, on-air at approx. 6:58am. I will need to know who's coming for
the segment (up to two people) by at least a week prior. We can use
your footage in DV or MiniDV, and need it at least 4 days prior to the
segment. k"
I'm out of town right now, but if someone has a video camera that
shoots DV or MiniDV go out to the races or practices even and shoot
some footage for us to show.
Who wants to be on the show??
Brad
Hi everyone, I started this group to hopefully expand the lines of
communication amongst the BMX'ers in the area. I think it will be
helpful with exchanging information between racers and parents, track
operations and operators and the general public potentially seeking
out more information about the BMX community here in Central Oregon.
Feel free to post pictures, files, links and messages. To post a
message to all the subscribers of the group simply use your favorite
e-mail program and send a message to cobmx@yahoogroups.com and
everyone who has subscribed will get an e-mail with your message. If
you would prefer not to get individual e-mails you can change your
preferences to receive digest or no e-mails at all. Explore around a
little.
