im 15years old and i usualy ride a raleigh ram 2.0 but i had broken the frame. while i was waiting for the new one my dad wanted to ride rosaryville and since i hadent gotten my mtb back the only thing i could use was my bmx(pegs and 20 inch tires with street tred). my dad and a freind rode the clockwise dirrection(starting accross from the kiosk parking lot) and i rode the counter clockwise dirrection(starting from the kiosk parking lot).my dad rode the trial in about 55 min and on the bmx bike i finshed in about 1 hour and 5 min. i was just wondering if anyone has tried it on a bmx bike or if anyone thinks that was good time for riding a bmx.
please post back,
Josh Marchyshyn

Sunds like you should be riding a single speed :)
I've only been to Rosaryville a couple of times, but an hour and few minutes sounds pretty fast to me - especially on a BMX bike with street tread...

Josh you and your dad and brother ROCK!!
Sorry to hear about the broken frame but maybe this will get you moe
into a single speed mindset!! Lots of riders enjoy Rosaryville
on their single and think it's the perfect park for a single, I agree.
Take care and I hope to see you in November for the continuing
Rosaryville crossings build!!

Rosaryville is great on a single speed or on a cyclocross bike. I have ridden it on both, and on both occasions, was my first singletrack experience with both bikes. No big hurdles or hills, but being gearless or on skinny tires made it a lot of fun. I found pretty much everything ridable except a couple of the unbridged stream crossings.
