If you're not out Trick-or-Treating tonight, we are having our last (abbreviated) practice session at the track  5:30-6:30pm (days are getting short!)  Dress warm.

Remember, tomorrow night is the Mummer's parade and we're entering a float for the second year. You must be an NBL member and be pre-registered due to limited space.

Construction help is appreciated.  Sherman Lynn and other members of HBMX will be assembling the float at Long-Meadow Shopping Center beginning at 1pm on Saturday afternoon.  Any help is appreciated between 1 and 5pm.   Contact Sherman if you have any additional questions: 301-573-0087  otherwise, we'll see you there.

The weather for Wednesday is wet and cold.  Assume Wednesday's practice is cancelled due to those reasons unless we post otherwise....I'm glad we got our races in when we did!  Stay Warm!

The 2008 season has come to a close.  Many great races, many great new racers and their families, many memorable times.  If you missed today at HBMX, what were you thinkin'!?  Afro Tony rolled in about 3 o'clock and pulled off the very first backflip off the third berm  <click HERE for the Video>    ...oh yeah, and did I mention races?!  15 Motos with zero falls that I remember and great head to head racing action across the board.  Great raffle prizes, $140 cash raffle, end-of-the-year awards to boot. 

Pics are up on our AOL page!

 Thanks to EVERYONE who participated in any way to our super successful 2008 BMX season!  You are appreciated!

Bring a jacket or buy a HBMX hoodie...racing temps are going to be in the 60's for Sunday.  0% chance of rain, 100% chance of family fun!

  As a reminder, we have the annual awards that will be announced and presented after the race so plan on hanging out while we get our last group pictures and share some great times together!  

Also, see a HBMX Volunteer for information on being on the HBMX float for the Mummers Parade on Saturday Nov 1.

Top Notch Racing action!  As the season winds down we're lucky to have mild temps to race in.  Sundays action pics are up.  This weekend's race will be the FINAL race for the 2008 season.  You must be there if you are a HBMX local/regular!  The preliminary weather reports looks good with temps in the 60's so that makes for great racing conditions.  Browse the AOL picture page or post your own pics on Flickr...and we'll see you at the track on Wed, Fri and Sunday!

Looks like we're in store for another great Sunday of racing.  Antietam Velo Club is our race sponsor and of course Joe Jefferson will be in the house representing them.  On the mic will be Mike Hartlove (injured reserve-shoulder) and hopefully a great collection of racers of all ages!

Coming events include Biketober Jam near Baltimore MD on Saturday October 18th.   This event is being organized by our friends at Racer's Edge and include a dual slalom event...BMX racers don't miss this, it's a downhill super smooth BMX style course with jumps and 5 bermed corners.  The event is being held in conjunction with the Hareford Fall Wine Festival and will be fun for the whole family!  For more info <click here> for www.racersedgeonline.com

Our continued thanks to Racer's Edge and Mike Hartlove and his racing family...he is hyped on getting HBMX's track built up nice for next season!

 Our LAST RACE for 2008 will be Sunday Oct 19th...don't miss it.  We'll have some end of the season awards to hand out and volunteer recognition too!  

If you're interested in being on our float for the Mummer's Parade on Nov 1st, please see Diane, myself or Sherman Lynn at an upcoming practice or race.

 See you at the track!

Whew!  Huge weekend of BMX racing, riding and learning.  The State Championship was held at Riverside BMX with almost 70 riders, great people, great prizes, huge trophies, great weather etc, etc.  Great Time!

Sunday was our quad point Bob Warnicke Race with 17 motos of bar banging action....not to mention the Groove Merchant clinic with Nigel Hopkinson, Ryan Hullinger and Jamie Hess.  It was a long day but we had a record high 30 entries for the clinic,  50+ riders for the race,  several new riders, and ages 3-53 years old!
