Well the dream is alive! I am very happy to say that the indoor track at the Olds Megadome is complete. The track looks fantastic and will be ready for riding this weekend January 14-15th.

I absolutely need to thank all the volunteers, who helped take this track from concept to reality. A really big thanks to a very dedicated core group, who worked 4 very long days to complete the build: Jonas Tremel, Adam Muys, Shane Beraducci, and Mike Herter. I also want to thank RSC Equipment, Olds Ag Society, Nilex, and Red Deer Home Building Centre, for their generous donations of equipment and supplies. I truly can’t thank you enough!!

We are in the process of putting together a track board to handle the management of this project through the season. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact myself, Jonas Tremel, or Mike Nelson. We would be happy to talk with you this weekend at the track.

The Indoor Group is very excited about the great possibilities the indoor presents, and we have big plans for the future. The staff at the Olds Ag Society has been fantastic to work with and they are looking forward to a long term relation with Alberta BMX. The Indoor Group is already actively planning for upcoming seasons, which will see us open October through April and introduce a winter race series, coaching, and Provincial races. The indoor will basically eliminate any gaps in riding and allow for year around training and racing. There truly is nothing we can do to improve rider skill levels and competitiveness with the other provinces, than to allow our kids the opportunity to ride year round. We encourage everyone to join us this weekend for the Grand Opening and to come check out this amazing facility.

This facility is very central in the province and is a long time dream for many riders and families. The track is complete, so please take advantage of the opportunity to get a head start on the summer season and get an advantage on your competition. We have sent out notice to all Track clubs to support this project with a $1000.00 donation, which would help offset the startup costs and allow all club members free access to the facility, coaching, and racing for the 3 months. These donations can be discussed with AB BMX President, Tim Croft or any of the Indoor Group members. For any clubs who wish not to contribute, we have decided that registration would be only $75.00/ rider or $100.00/ family for the 3 months of riding. However, I hope that all Alberta Clubs will see the true value in investing in this project and understand the impact it can bring to the progression of this sport in our province! The Olds BMX Indoor has great long term potential if we support it and I can’t imagine anyone wouldn’t, if they take time to see this great facility! The current plan for this winter is as follows:

Saturday: Open Track 10:30AM – 3:00PM
Sunday: Coaching and New Rider Training 11:00AM – 12:30PM
Racing (age class and open class)1:30PM – 3:00PM (Scheduled to begin Jan.22nd)
Registration (On-site) 12:00PM – 1:00PM

*** Please note that a current Alberta License Registration is required to be insured and to have access to ride on the track. They are available online at: www.albertabicycle.ab.ca We will try to post any Indoor information, updates, and schedules on this site. Schedule posted here
Please get out to Olds and check out this amazing facility!!

Some people say that Cro-mo race frames are stale and out dated, we say they are wrong and dare them to ride the new BOLT LT and then make up their minds.

Cro-mo Race Frames have heritage and lineage so deep in BMX and for good reason. A good Cro-mo frame is light, strong, and will last a long time at the track and the trails. BMX was built around Cro-mo race frames, and the BOLT LT has lineage that goes back 20 years. When Supercross built it’s first frame, it was a Cro-mo race frame, and 20 years later we are still building cro-mo race frames. Although the technolgy of butting and heat treating and tapering have changed the way a frame gets built, it has changed it for the better. Now we are able to build a 4.2lb Pro Race Frame that can be used as an everyday race frame and trail bike with out any worry or stress of what you are doing to your bike. These frames were build to ride!

A few of the features of the new BOLT LT Race frame include:

Integrated Campy Style 45/45 Headtube with CNC’d LOGO
CNC Machined Euro BB shell ( 68mm Width ) also professionally faced ($60) value
Backside CNC’d Cro-mo Dropouts
Built in Low Profile Seatpost Clamp with replaceable Nut and Bolt (replaced with Titanium Bolt)
Uses a 26.8mm Seat Post
Triple Butted Air Hardened Cro-mo Frame Construction.
Tapered Chain and Seat Stays

PAID: $450
