Gene,
I am a member of the Friends of Joe Albi and also part of a task
force to identify youth venues for lands around Albi Stadium in Spokane.

Would you be willing to talk with me about the considerations for building
a BMX course near Albi Stadium and building short courses around town?

Has anyone from Spokane contacted you for info on this yet?

Of course costs (initial, operating, maintenance), revenue, possible
tournament circuits, covered track, and popularity are areas I don't
have a good handle on.

I would enjoy talking with you or others about this.

I can be reached at 509-475-4474 or email
me your phone # and I will call you.

Thanks,

Paul Hyndman Vice-President , Friends of Joe Albi

I talked to Paul Hyndman about spokanes vision for a BMX track,
they are looking for BMX people who are interested in participating
in the formation of a corporation to run sanctioned races and maintain
the facilities.

All of you folks who have showed interest in starting another BMX
track in the area should jump on this, the city of spokane has the
money on hand to build a world class facility,all they need is interested
people to "get r done" this is a copy of the e mail that Paul sent me it
would be nice if some BMX people showed up at this meeting.

The next taskforce meeting for the Joe Albi Recreational Complex
will be Thursday, November 16th at 1:00 in the Spokane City Hall
conference room 5A.

It would be nice to have one or two representatives
of the BMX community sit in for the upcoming meeting.

They would be more observers than participants, but they could
see where the City of Spokane is going as far as considering building
a BMX course.

My phone is (509) 475-4474 if anyone wants to
contact me about the meeting or with any questions.

Thanks again, Paul Hyndman, Vice-President , Friends of Joe Albi

The Hillyard Skatepark is located at the Northeast corner of Harmon
Park (just south of Francis on Market and Decatur) Spokane, Wash.
BMX Bike pegs must be approved for skatepark riding to reduce damage.
