Shoreham BMX has been steadily declining for some years now, and its been tough to see this going on given its role in the BMX industry. Shoreham is rich in history, and has produced some of the most talented BMX riders. Ever since the infamous "Triple Step" was taken out, the track started to decline not only in rider count but in track quality as well. After being plagued with a horrible track layout and ridiculous turns since 2000, the race crew decided it was time to bring back Shoreham as we all knew it in years past. With help from more people than ever, and from names that you won't believe. Shoreham is back and better than ever with a track design that will flow from start to finish. Check out some of the photos below for a sneak peek, and I strongly urge you to come out and ride the track this year.
"Dragon's Back" - Jump into the first turn is very influenced by supercross, and is 35 feet long from peak to peak.
"Stairway to Heaven" - This is two step-ups back to back to create the effect of a downhill pitched straight. Which plays into the design of the next jump.
The new triple is very South Park influenced indeed !!!! Taking one jump out of this straight was part one, and making nice big jump that the younger kids can also ride was part two, the result is a nice flowing section which keeps your speed going up.
