Park City BMX, early 80's (81/82?)
So there are 2 current racers in this picture, can you name them? You need to look hard......

Ron Melton (yellow hat) is the easy one. That might be Jason, but I think it's Wade Melton in the pro neck stuff. I moved up from 12 Beginner to 12 Novice there, around about the same time. I'll post up some photos.
A few entertaining things to notice:
The manual gate (Ron is holding the release). When you got a bunch of big guys on one of those things, it would always get stuck!
Leg gaitors!
Open face helmets
gigantic combs sticking out of back pockets
No houses on the hills in PC
Everyone's seat all the way up and everyone in an open face helmet

Nice!
Ok, who's the kid on the bike with a big grin on his face? This is the easy one, I think you don't even need to be old school to recognize this guy, they all look the same.

Tell me what track it is. I built it with Kennard.
Only lasted a year the city realized how much land was worth. Give you all a hint. It was at an altitude of 7000 feet and took 30 min from the valley to get there.
