I live in Lombard. I generally go to woodridge to bash or just about any large field or parking garage. There isn't too much to choose from. The closes BIG bashes that we set up are iun Berwyn. (See the snow bash thread)

The Woodridge spot (jefferson jumps) is my favorite bashing spot. Has a good number of big BMX jumps, some smaller ones, and a nice hill climb area.










My truck should be ready in about a week. If anyone wants to hook me up with a ride there, I'm up for a bash at Woodridge cause I don't think im going to make it to the January Berwyn bash.

Yep SW about 20 mins. I-55 to I-355 north, exit 75th street and you're pretty much right there.

I'm down for some pic taking! Order from avids should be coming in soon, new motor in the works right now, and maybe a mini-t in the near future! Rob you know I'll give you a ride if I can make it.


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
