BEER CREEK BMX


Started in February of 2006, Beer Creek BMX are just some old bike jumps hidden deep in the woods of North Texas. Beer Creek is locked up behind barbed wire on Private Property. Invite only. No bulldozers, no lawsuits, no drama. Designed and built by 2004's most hated man in BMX. 100% unique hand made BMX trails. We’ve got tree houses, forts, foxholes, benches, BBQs, bridges, and fire pits. There are only 2 lines thus far- Snake and Coyote. They criss cross and weave through a whole lot of trees. Of all the trails in Texas; Beer Creek BMX unofficially claims to have the stupidest “Snake line” in Texas. Bring beer, leave your attitude. 

 


Beer Creek was cut out of some of the thickest brush in Texas. Thorn vines everywhere. You can’t take a lap without fixing a flat. In the summer, the mosquitos get poison ivy and the snakes get ticks. There are Asps, Wasps, Hornets, Scorpions, Stink bugs, Fire ants, African Bees, Fleas, and Chiggers. Temperature in the shade exceeds 110. There is a big pack of hungry coyotes living here that we feed daily. The dirt here is called black gumbo and it's protected by a network roots. It doesn’t pack very well and each time it rains the dirt grows or fluffs up half an inch. But it doesn’t rain here, it floods. When it dries up, the jumps fall apart. Then the droughts last for 4 months with no rain at all. Digging ain’t easy but its good for the soul. Face to the Earth, back to the Sun.

Beer Creek BMX salutes:

Trail builders and beer runners. Anyone who has ever had their trails plowed. Anyone who has ever had their jumps destroyed. Had their tools stolen or broken. Anyone that has lost a good woman or a job over the love of dirt. People who show up at the trails with only shovels and no bikes. People who dig, while everyone else is riding. People that call in sick on rainy days just to go dig. People who dig to just be alone.  The sad man who buries his best friend by some old jump. Not people who dig because of the chip on their shoulder or to out do others, or to shut down the groms. We proudly shake muddy hands. We respect men not for skills but for work ethic and attitude. Cheers to teams of friends who stack thousands of pounds of earth in the name of BMX. Keep on Digging!
