that would be quite a good idea. it would be a really good for new racers or just others to enter simple races. like its been said, all you need is an open field on a slope. add a few tables and doubles and it would catch on very quickly.

So how much would one be? Could you use your usual setup (rims etc) and just buy the frame?

Curtis is probably the only British BMX framebuilder left. They made frames when BMX just started, at the time a lot of the independent builders and 'engineering dads' used to make sidecar racers too.

There showing some roots or something, and a bit of fun at the same time.

Theres a few vides on the tube of sidecar BMX racing but I cant find any right now!
