UPDATES

Got a few updates for everyone keeping their eyes on the blog.

One thing is that we ARE getting an asphalt starting hill. It will be put in in the next couple weeks. Its a great accomplishment that we have been wanting to get done for a couple years now. And hopefully it will draw more people to out track to have fun racing. And once again we would like to THANK EVERYONE that has donated money to our track.

Another thing coming up pretty soon is that we plan on having our first work weekend on MAY 1ST and 2ND (weather permitting). Sorry if there was any mix ups with the dates. We will try to get as much as we can done that weekend and use the next weekend if we have to, but we would like to work on watering the track, filling in the roots, smooth out the berms, and if we can get some dirt we will try to make a few areas better.

Mark Kluth has called and he said that he will be making another order soon for sweatshirts and t-shirts. So if you would like to get some goodies contact us.

ELKHORN 2009-2010 TRACK CHAMPIONS

Milwaukee's very own Dan Blink and Chris Bratz were able to get track champion jackets at the end of the Elkhorn indoor racing season. They worked hard all winter and the work was rewarded big time. Between the two of them, they only missed ONE race all indoor season. So they will be sporting this jackets out in Milwaukee from time to time to show off their hard work. These guys are very committed to the sport and love having fun and helping out other people when they are in need. So CONGRATULATIONS to them.

Other big news

The 2009 district jackets have been sent out and a few of our riders got some jackets and medals for district. Jacob Hinzpeter received the district number one jacket. Rj Eckertt and Chris Bratz received top ten district jackets. And last but not least Dan Blink and Jimmie Sims received medals for being in the top ten percent at the end of the year. So good job to everyone of these riders. Its a lot of work to get that far, so I'm sure we are proud of them.

PAVED STARTING HILL???

Yes its possible for this 2010 Milwaukee BMX season for us to have a paved starting hill.

But, its also not free. So what we are doing is having a fundraiser type deal going on to help us pay for the asphalt starting hill. A few close track workers have already donated some money. If you want to donate some money then you can. Any amount will help us. Also if you know anybody with a company that would like to help and donate, they can do that as well and we will try to get that company's name well heard. Donate and you can be part of our gold, silver, bronze friends list.

GOLD($100 or more donation)

SILVER($50.00-$99.99 donation)

BRONZE($1.00 -$49.99 donation)

So if you want to donate you can contact us:

Another Milwaukee BMX winter meeting coming up on Tuesday March 2nd

The next meeting will take place at Benno's Restaurant at 7pm

7430 W Greenfield Ave. West Allis

We shall chit chat about upcoming event and any other things going on around the bmx community

Hope to see you there

The following is a Milwaukee BMX (ABA Track #1730) club update from our man, Chris Bratz - fresh on his return from the cool breezes of Benno's pub and grille with all sorts of great notes from the club's annual spring thaw meeting!

FIRST MEETING WENT WELL

The First Milwaukee BMX winter meeting had taken place on Tuesday Feb 2nd and we talked about the more important things like the schedule, when we start racing, when we start working on the track, and our sponsors. We ended with hopes that we can start working on the track in early May (weather permitting) and also start our race season off with a new rider clinic with our first race following the clinic.

One of the subject that we talked about was sponsors, we are looking to hear from our previous sponsors and perhaps some new sponsors. We are going to be putting our sponsors in our schedules for everyone to see who has been helping us through the years. So if you have a child that races and also own a company or know someone that does and wants to get their name out there then you can contact us anytime.

Another thing going on right now is we have Milwaukee BMX merchandise for sale. Pullover sweatshirts, zip up hoodies, long and short sleeve t-shirts, and tank tops. So if you would like to buy any of there then please contact us. The deadline is Feb 14th, the day after next weekends Elkhorn race. Everything comes in youth sizes as well and we also can get you any normal color that you would like to have.

We would also like to have another meeting in march sometime to finalize everything, so keep your eyes posted for the dates.

Hot Shots - 9 19 2009


Since he first showed up a few months back, Steven Themes has come a whole long way with his bike riding. Here, he's got some nice air going as he hits up our last straight doubles.


Friendly competition -- this is such a typical scene at Milwaukee BMX. Jimmy Sims (L) and Dana Mittelstadt (R) goofing off back in the pit area after a big day of getting their race on.


Sammy Cabaltera is moving on up. You are looking at Milwaukee BMX's brandest-newest intermediate class rider. Congratulations Sam ... nice win!


Moto-Drive: Yup, it's cool when kids really find their groove and start to step up their game ... it's even more cool when you have the capability to document that progress and recognize it. Max Wilson, a solid young 9i, has really stepped up his game lately, both in speed and skill. Here, he's showing off some new found big air skills over the last straight dubs.



Bill Wilson (L) and Mark Kluth (R) no doubt talking about where they are headed for racing on Sunday. We BMX'ers are so predictable !!!


Josiah Simms is not only a good young racer ... this kid is an absolute ham. As soon as I dragged the camera out ... he starts really getting his boogy on. Shy much? I'm guessing the answer is no. Here's your shot, Josiah, and I hope you dig it !!!

I think Sam Gillis actually took this shot ... and, it's really a good one. I showed him the new camera set up ... and I seem to recall that he popped off a shot. Anyway, what a neat shot, Jonah Ausdembruch, finding a quiet and content moment in the midst of all of the chaos and mayhem that can be BMX racing.

Another young rider who's recently been putting a few skills in his pocket. Garrett Kluth is working a big and very cool manual over the last straight dubs, and definitely concentrating hard on what's up.

Dan Blink says goodbye to summer by getting it tweaked. It's a safe bet that even though we won't be seeing much more of this type of weather this year -- you won't have to look hard to find Dan getting it stylish off a jump.
