Shoreham bmx out on Long Island is where most of everyone I know, myself included, got their start in bmx. Racing was usually the first step for everyone since almost no skill at all is needed to complete a lap. Jumping and actually riding a track correct comes with time, but getting around it is not a very hard task. My first trip to Shoreham was in 1994 and I was quickly hooked on this new found sport. Some of my best friends were made at this track and as we grew in skill levels together we started traveling the country racing in different nationals and regional races. Shoreham was known to have some of the best riders in the sport. The track was challenging and kept up with the reputation of the world famous local trail spots. When outsiders came to Shoreham they were intimidated. The jumps were big and if you didnt know how to pump you were usually shit out of luck..... That all came to an end in the late 90's when new head honchos took over the track and ruined it. They made everything very rookie friendly and that quickly drew all the locals away. Most people I rode with quit racing about that time and spent more time at the trails and skateparks..... That is until now... Check out Tommy Biv's blog to check out the new updates. Looks like the board finally gave the OK to give the track a facelift. I am proud that these guys stepped up to finally make a change out there. I am really excited to get back on the track this year. Hopefully most of my old friends feel the same. It would be awesome to get semi's (or even quarters) again in the open wheels class! Great job boys!
