Round 1 Woodward, PA., 2000.
After years of anticipation, VANS finally brought BMX racing to the next level with the Triple Crown of BMX. With $40,000 up for grabs and national television exposure, it was sure to be a history-making event. Set in the lush backdrop of Pennsylvania's world famous Camp Woodward, this inaugural event was definitely designed to impress. The camp entrance soon gave way to the largest downhill BMX track ever constructed. It was something akin to a Supercross track, but with a huge 40-foot step-down, multiple doubles, rhythm sections, and shocking high-speed berms. These monstrous additions provided the main ingredients for excitement, bringing BMX the recognition it deserves. Of course, the potential for bodily injury raised the stakes considerably.
