Are there any other ladies on here that bmx as well? Perhaps a little park, some dirt jumps? Maybe even flatland? I ride mostly dirt right now, with some park thrown in when I travel to Vernon.

Ya are the ladies on the coast still hitting up the skateparks?
I know last year there was a huge turn out to the womens bmx clinic at the Abbotsford indoor and everyone was planning trips to Woodyard.

I beleive that Adam Muys will be the new BMX go to guy. He's at CBC today. It sounds as tho there may be some talk of a 4x series as well…just talk so far.
There is a lot of movement of people in BMX, but it is all very positive. This is the first time that CBC will actually have a full time specific person for BMX, and that will be such a huge positive step for BC's BMX to have someone concentrate solely on the growth.
Good things will happen, especially with the development of new tracks, combined with all the years of experience that the other tracks offer.
As for me, I can help as much as I can with BMX, but I'm definitely not a key player.

Our new track is needing some guidance as we go into our first full season. Will Adam be availble for input soon? Are you also CBC full time now?

sport development; but I can help with most Club and Team Q's as well. Kevin MacCuish is the new MTB guy, and Sarah Garnett is the new office manager.

Hey Girls,
I seen this thread and thought I'd join in.
4X anyrace day if enough show (min.3) we will make a 4x race.
Starting next wed. 7-10 Chris from "no hype bikes" will be running a 4X series at indoor.
check our schedule for all the dates. He has some different ideas as to make it a little more indicative of a 4x like putting obstacles out on the track. If any of you have any ideas as to make indoor more what you would like to see,just ask .
Friday we build the next track (equipment starts at 8am and by 5 it should look like a bmx track)
As soon as possible we will announce the women's only clinic.
please feel free to pm me .
or just yak it up when you see me wandering around the indoor.
Cycling needs more women and anything we can do here ,we will.

Well this forum is a great start. We have an outlet to get some ladies to commit to some 4X races or some indoor bmx races. Make sure to post any ideas you have for events and we'll try to get a turn out for you.
