Lately I have been thinking about BMX tracks quite much. What makes track to be good, or bad, or what makes pros to want to ride it, and so on. I think the most important thing is flow on track. How the shape of jumps works and how jumps works together. Track has to feel good no matter how fast you ride it, or slow!! I think pretty much you can see, just by pumping the whole track. If it works by pumping, it works by manualing too. About jumps I'm not the best one to say, but that's maybe why I'm not designing any track!
Like pretty many of you knows, tracks in USA are not as high shaped as tracks in Europe. Forexamble, on Bellflower, where is biggest number of pros, the shapes are hardly over 1meter high. On the otherhad, some riders jump over one jump, and some over two. Once I saw one pro jumping over 4 jumps with one jump and I can tell you it was awesome!
There is some pictures of different kind of tracks. Btw. You are able to see tracks from googlemaps too ;)
