St. Helens First BMX Track is off to a flying start.
Sanctioned riding events are now a weekly occurrence.


This ABA sanctioned BMX track was long in coming. 

The Concept of the BMX tract goes back to late 1997, well before a proposal was made to construct a skateboard park.   A major difference exists between the BMX track and the Skateboard Park.  The BMX track is supported by a users group.  The St. Helens BMX track is supported by the ABA and Columbia BMX. These groups provides oversight on event days and monitors the track activities.
No such group exists for the Skateboard park.

The St. Helens BMX track fosters an activity that is worthy of public support.  If you have the time, visit the track.  It is located in McCormick Park on the North East end  next to the Skateboard facility.  If you are interested in the park and/or  BMX Racing, you can contact Phil Barlow at the Bike Shop at (503) 397-4900 or visit their  web site at http://www.crbmx.com
