Ninth Street BMX, the official local's site -Austin, Texas. Non profit, Non biased, Digger run.

Bench Brothers for life. No benches needed.

Thanks to Dig magazine and Walter P. for making 9th St. and Texas look so good. Made me proud to be a part of it.

"If you throw down trash, I automatically hate you" Big Rob

"It's not trails, it's like a skatepark" Matty A.

"A lot of people think you can just walk into somebody's trails and just start whatever they want, just put up a line - that's not respectful"- Joe T.

"If you go to trails in Texas, you'd better not be sensitive or your feelings may get hurt. If you're going to have some fun on your bike at our expense, at least let us have some fun at yours." Rick Crossman

We're working with the City of Austin to hook up the trails. We have to follow the rules and set up an adopt a park agreement. We need to provide info and photos for public use. What we hope to get out of this deal:

Water fountain, dog water bowl, and Spigott

New benches

Landscaping supplies-trees, shrubs, plants

Dirt

Monthly City Bulldozer usage

Lifetime BOBCAT pass for Doug E. Fresh

Speeds bumps on 9th st.

A historical marker/plaque

Peace of mind knowing the trails are secure

I'm working on the wording for the Historical marker and a "Public" information website to fulfill the city's needs. I welcome the local's feedback and suggestions on the "public" info. wording.

Everything seems to be good. All this will surely take time to get done. Thanks Hippie Josh, Cullen, Noodles, Turnando, Perez, Doug E., Slasher, GZ, & to everyone who has gone to the meetings and helped us with this city issue.

Friendly 9th St. Digging Etiquette Reminders

If you're new to the trails, just pay dues and help the loc's for a while. When you get your Lip License, you can do your own thing. For example, Turnando undertook the project of fixing old LEFT LINE for his Lip License. He did a good job and now he is free to piss off whoever he wants with his shovel craziness. Which leads to the next reminder;

If you're not digging, you don't have much room to be bitching!
I.e. "That lip's too steep, the roller's too rolly, the berm is too bermy"

Finish what you start & don't start what you can't finish

Just because you are "digging" doesn't mean you have "dug". One hour fixing a lip in right line doesn't make up for years of not digging/helping.

Never tear down anything.

Santana's chrome gear and most controversial bumper sticker ever!

8 am Monday morning road rage on the way to work. Coach catches me out of nowhere with his wonderful philosophy.

"I Stole all my chones at Habibi's".

I respect people who uphold humor and the 2nd amendment to the point of insanity.

This is a pre-school, that printed a sticker, that insinuates the owner of the sticker stole their underwear from a children's pre-school.

It's a joke people, laugh it off.

This and The Broken Spoke are one of the few, last, and real Honky Tonks left on this planet.

Go on a Thursday night at 10pm or so, don't expect much. Ginny will be there, she is older than dirt. Be respectful. Appreciate.

R.I.P. L. S. L. 2001-2009

Sad to say it's gone. I put some shovel time in here.

I converted a bum highway into a kooked squirrel line.

I don't have anything good to say about how it ended, no need to start drama after the fact.

What I do have are wonderful memories.
Many thanks to Noodles, Zach, Sunday, Pdog, Lil' Nik & everyone who helped me over the years.

We had good lines and good times; such as:

Riding LSL when 9th was soaking wet

Riding LSL to get away from overcrowded 9th

Riding at night by the apartment lights

Girls on the sidewalk

PB's transfers!

Battling the bums

River Rats

Schoal Creek flooding and every jump being submerged in strong current without damage
