My friend Chris recently asked me if I knew anything about the Jersey City Armory BMX Track. I had never heard of it but apparently according to one of his co workers and some internet pictures, the Armory was an indoor BMX track on wooden floors with sparse wooden obstacles. When I first started racing, I raced indoors in Wareham Massachusetts but not on a gym floor, it was an actual dirt track. Even though I understand the logistics of it, the Armory perplexes me. There were no berms, just hard turns! Did anyone reading this ever go there/ ride there? If you know anything feel free to leave something in the comments and be sure to check out some more pictures below. You can see all of them over on New Jersey BMX here.
