Corpus Christi BMX

This photo came up today from 2023! When we first started working to bring the BMX track at Salinas Park back to life, we spent a lot of time out there just walking around, looking, & wondering what might still be left of what once was. At the time the track was completely overgrown and abandoned but if you looked closely, you could still find little pieces of its history buried beneath the dirt.

And then we found this.

Buried in the ground was a 3rd Place 2015 State Qualifier award. Just a small piece of metal, but to us it meant so much more. It was proof that this place had once been filled with kids racing, families cheering, dreams being chased and memories being made.

We had no idea that day just how long this journey would be or where it would lead us. We just knew that we didn’t want the history of this track to disappear.

Now, three years later, we’re still here working to bring BMX racing back to Corpus Christi. That little award we pulled from the dirt now hangs in our garage as a reminder to why we started. This isn’t just about rebuilding a track. It’s about bringing something back to our community that deserves another chance.

And we’re not done yet. 🏁

A look at H-Town BMX Gold Cup Qualifier yesterday ⚡️ I heard my drone get called out by the announcer but rest assured I followed all the rules by launching/ landing outside of the park and never once flying over the track, according to the city ordinance. It was only flown outside the park looking in 🤗 and good thing I have an amazing zoom 🙌🙌

Our Corpus crew is out here at WeeChiTah BMX today for a double header State Qualifier in the AM and Gold Cup Qualifier in the PM. Looks like a good day for some BMX racing! ☀️🏁

With a day's notice, we invited the BMX community to come out and show their support as KIII 3 News reached out to do a story on the status of the Salinas Park BMX Track. To be honest, we would have been happy if even one other person showed up. Instead, many of you took time out of your day, and we couldn't be more grateful! 🙏

BMX isn't just a sport- it's a family, a passion, and a part of Corpus Christi's history. Seeing that support firsthand was incredible, and I think our city is beginning to see just how much this track means to so many people.

Thank you to everyone who came out, shared your support, and continues to believe in bringing BMX racing back to Corpus Christi.

CCBMX STRONG. 💪🚲
