Reinventing Cobb Country

After all the long hours of prepping, planning and building, the world was introduced to the all new Cobb County BMX facility. If you had the pleasure of attending you already know that the former ball field is nothing short of amazing.

For those of you that didn’t put this one on your calendar, you certainly missed out on what could become the prototype for replacing baseball fields all across the country. We think it’s quite fitting that the new starting hill is where home plate once resided. Once you come down the three meter starting hill you’re greeted by a tricky set of doubles and a monster step table. After you exit turn one you’re faced with a huge pro set on the left or a jump filled dog-legged section on the right.

The extreme angle of the turn and inside straightaway caused for much discussion by the Elite class and the UCI official deemed it unraceable. Plans are already in place to correct this before the next time we visit Powder Springs. The third straight is home to a rhythm section and the final straight houses a double and the sprint to the line.

The facility revamp also came with a brand new building that houses an office, utility room, a fully functional snack bar and bathrooms.
