Crow River BMX: “New Dirt, Same Heart”

On this episode of the Lane 8 BMX Podcast, we head to St. Michael, Minnesota, where Crow River BMX is in the middle of a full-blown revival. With a brand-new track rebuild and the Land O' Lakes Nationals set to return this July, this longtime Midwest staple is again ready to shine on the national stage.

Jason Kempel and Dan Isaacs, the co-track operators leading the charge, are joining me. We talk about the decision to bring back the original Crow River name, the challenges of rebuilding a track from the ground up, and the behind-the-scenes work it takes to host a national event. Their passion for the sport and community is front and center in this conversation.

If you care about the future of BMX, local tracks, and the people making it all happen, this one’s for you.
