what bmx track are you hitting in the afternoon?

you are correct in the fact springs do not require a mod plate. however, you need to weigh up the time, hassle and possible expense in contesting such a ticket. simple answer is to just avoid it all together and don't go "cruising" where you are bound to draw such attention. hooning is...

i'd be keen too.. with either mtb or bmx
