Possibility of moving there in the next 12 months. Link me to some good stuff. Tell me what the scene is like. Just want to know all I can, so when I visit this summer I will know what to expect. Hoping to sell my car and move there with just a BMX and a singlespeed for commuting. Thanks!

BMX is awesome in Colorado, but so is everything else........hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, strip clubs, ect.!!!

Just bring some cool old east coast stuff. Id suggest moving first and then selling your car. Its gonna take a long time to bike all the way from GA

Would love to hang out do a lot of riding and definitely ride some trails! I am racer at heart but I just want to ride!

My wife wants to move to Denver really bad and her works offering to move her there for free but it looks to gorgeous for me. I'm a city kid from Philly. I'm used to thugs and crackheads not deers, berries and grizzlies.

That's what I like to hear! There are a bunch of tracks along the front range. During the summer, you can race 5-6 times a week if you wanted to.

There are a couple indoor tracks running as well:

I'm sure you read about Wheat Ridge local David Herman being named to the USA Cycling team:

And, if you're so inclined, you can take in some Vintage racing:

Tanker I have already gotten in touch with Mr. Finch, Walker's dad and he offered to show me 'round when I am in town this august!

Tanker Kranker · 2012-02-28 11:16am

Cool, you'll be in good company. Are you racing Cruiser or Class?

Deer and Berries yes. Grizzlies? NO. It sure is an Awesomw State.

When I start missing the ghetto, I just drive through Aurora.

But seriously, don't worry about missing big city problems. Denver has those. And I wouldn't worry about the wildlife. I haven't been stalked by a mountain lion in weeks.

I remember the Diamond Cabaret being a pretty awesome place....

I would love to get a cruiser but right now it's just my 125r and my Hoffman Bama.

BMXPUNK57 · 2012-02-28 11:10pm

...got a secret stash of dirt jumps in the shadows of downtown denver...

wired · 2012-02-29 6:19am

Best place I've ever lived for sure and the BMX scene is alive and well for old, mid and new school for all racers, dirt and street riders. This is also the state where some people's mountain bikes cost more than their cars. Let us know when you're coming through - if you're here over a weekend when we ride you're always welcome to join in!

Called up Pusher BMX to try and talk to the owner a couple of days ago he wasn't in. But hopefully we can chat and let me know some more stuff.

PUSHER is a cool shop....I found a HUTCH there a month ago or so....They had what I needed for my GT stamped profiles in stock too....

Ha! Ha! I live just around the corner from you and you're not lying! We're only 10 minutes out of the city and I've seen one run behind the Loaf and Jug!
