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!
