 Speed, adrenaline, and raising money for a college scholarship is exactly what was happening in Brainerd this weekend. Anthony Scott takes us to the racetrack for this week's Northwoods Adventure. One participant ever sits on the bench. Everybody gets to participate and play. That's why Justin Barnhart, the track operator at Lakes Area BMX, loves the sport. Everyone who wants to ride gets a chance to hit the track. It's not all for guys, but even though there's probably more guys that do it than girls, just like, you know, if you're a girl and you want to sport, that's rough, you know, join it because it's a good sport to do. You know, you get a lot of exercise. It doesn't matter if you're an expert rider or just starting out, there's a spot for you on the track. Our youngest rider a couple years ago was 18 months on a balance bike. So 18 months is our youngest and 65 is our oldest. This is the 35th year of Lakes Area BMX and if you don't have a bike or helmet, don't worry, they got you covered. Several years ago, we actually got a donor to donate helmets to the track or funds for helmets to the track so that we could give them out as loaner helmets. They cost nothing for the kids. Same with the bikes, they're just there to use. It's a first come, first serve basis. And the race on Sunday was about more than just crossing the finish line. All of our funds that we raised today from registration go back to USA BMX, which is our sanctioning body out in Arizona. All that money goes into a scholarship fund that our riders, that our seniors throughout the nation, can apply for. On top of helping with the Bob Warner Key Scholarship Fund, the Lakes Area BMX crew is all volunteers. We're an all-non-profit organization. We're here for the kids, trying to keep kids on the right track. So we have a chili cook-off fundraiser and bake sale going on today. So just to kind of fund us through the winter. It's fundraisers like that and a lot of support from local businesses that keep the track at Lakes Area BMX open. And after 35 years, there's no signs of slowing down.
