• <br /> enough for racers to pass after the first straight, the riders will soon become bored with • <br /> your"Hole Shot" track. That is, only the first rider out of the gate has an opportunity to <br /> win. <br /> In more established BMX areas with experienced riders, track length can be somewhat <br /> longer and the obstacles more difficult than in areas where BMX is just getting <br /> started. Downhill tracks that "S" across the slope can be somewhat longer than tracks <br /> build on level ground. <br /> In any track design, safety comes first. Any obstacle that presents a hazard should be <br /> removed, padded or modified. Any jump can be made safer be extending the back side, <br /> making it nearly impossible to land on flat.ground. When designing your track, <br /> intentions should be directed toward taking as many precautions as possible while still <br /> providing an exciting and challenging race course. Study the examples that are provided <br /> in this manual but remember: Each track operator is responsible for the safety of his own <br /> track The design and construction suggestions offered by the ABA in this manual do not <br /> constitute any official approval of these or any other track designs; even the best design <br /> can be unsafe or unraceable if built incorrectly. <br /> SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT <br /> • Center pivot rubber tire 2 1\2 yd loader-Example: Case 621, Cat 936. <br /> • <br /> • Small tractor with a small front bucket and a landscaping box on rear-Example: Case <br /> 480, 570,John Deere or Ford. <br /> • 5 ton smooth drum roller. (The track should be rolled after everything as been raked <br /> and smoothed out.) <br /> • Lots of volunteer help to rake and shovel. <br /> 1 <br />
