1. In this clip from their conversation, John Mark shares a little more about the former BMX track in Lititz, PA. John Mark shares that he believes the track started in the late 1970s. In the current Lititz Springs Park, the BMX track was approximately where the baseball field is.

He remembers it, because the “brown building” was on the other side of the tracks. That building was the Wilbur Chocolate Co. 

The two started the conversation to lead to a discussion about building a pump track in Lititz, PA. Their full-length conversation is available at https://youtu.be/atlbARdt2q4?si=V0lTnyXNX0WbpBaP
