About Us About the Crew Armadillo Downs BMX is run and operated as a non-profit organization and resources that are used to run our races, both behind the scenes as well as out front, are done so by dedicated people that love this sport and kids of all ages. Without the help of people like these, BMX in Conroe Texas would not be as we know it today. If you would like to help, please get in touch with any track official and they will be able to point you in the right direction. About our Track Armadillo Downs BMX has just been re configured as of July 2009. The current configuration of our track features a right hand first turn, left hand second turn and right hand third turn. As in the past Armadillo Downs BMX prides itself with being a versatile track offering the best of both worlds when it comes to speed and technical skill. At 1300' we provide four straights packed with jumps that will test the ability of riders at each skill level, including the professionals. Our first straight has four obstacles which include a roller at the 30' mark followed by a step double to double to step up into turn one. Our second straight has five obstacles beginning with a step up out of turn one and leads into a table top then double with a jump off double to huge step up into turn two. Out of turn two is the start of our rhythm section. This section starts off with a step up to double to bigger double then continues on with more doubles than I can remember. This section is the longest part of the track and quite possibly the longest rhythm section in the Central part of the United States. Turn leads you to our last straight which starts off with a step u to roller to double to roller to table to the finish line. * Established in 1977 * The longest track in Texas at 1300'. 1250' if you take the pro section * The long running tack name in the State of Texas * Breeding ground for the hottest pros and amateurs in the sport * Home of BMX Legend John "The Jackal" Purse * Home of 3 Time UCI World Champion and US Olympian Kyle Bennett * Home of NBL National # 1 and current ABA NAG #1 Amateur "Vicious" Vaughn Herrick About the Crew Armadillo Downs BMX is run and operated as a non-profit organization and resources that are used to run our races, both behind the scenes as well as out front, are done so by dedicated people that love this sport and kids of all ages.
