Speedworld Ho, Ho, Hosts SX Clinic Before X-Mas

You may have heard that Speedworld BMX will host the ABA Winternationals in 2011. The track, in Wittman, AZ, just outside Phoenix, is the first open-to-the-public track in the US to boast its own SX starting hill and SX-spec straightaways, ultimately sculpted to replicate the 2011 worlds track in Copenhagen.

The goal of building the dual-purpose facility (as you can see in the above photo, there is an amateur starting hill and straightaway on the right of the big hill) was to be able to offer their thriving local program, as well as a landmark training program for current and up & coming SX talent.

The first clinic to be offered will be held December 17-19, and will feature training on both the regular and SX sections of the track. A great way to step off that “steppin up my game” plan for 2011.

At only $150 per student, the Speedworld folks are hoping to attract some of the frozen-stiff easterners to the warm embrace of the mid-70s Phoenix temps, in addition to the opportunity to ride one of the newest and most innovative facilities around.

Here is the official release
