fastrthnu Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I was trying to find a place locally to ride today and I found this field near by where these kids where riding dirt bikes,.so I pulled over and parked. They seen me ride and when I took a break they came over and asked if it would be better for me to ride on the mx track. There was an Mx track that went under a couple years ago and the gates where locked. But they knew a way in so I went in with em. I was worried about being busted,. but they said they come in every weekend and on day the owner showed up on a couple of bikes and didnt give a rats ass. So we rode it out. My forearms were killin me after like 5 laps. That shit was awesome. I cant wait to go back next weekend. Ill try to get some pictures n vids too.

Washburn Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 heh, yeah its cool to find spots like that. Its when they get to overpopulated and people start complaining that the owners start worrying about shit and close the places down. Arm pump can kill you espicaly on a track and if your not used to it. It gets better with handling components and mucho practice. Its fun jumping over obsticals that were in your way the previous weekend :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korndawg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 We used to have a place like that around here. There was an old mx track, and the owner of the track lived right next door. If you wanted to ride, there was a coffee can, a key, and a waiver on the front porch of the house. You just tossed $5 in the can, signed the waiver, then took the key and rode all day. when you got done, just put the key back when you got it. It was all done on honor system. It has closed down in the last year or two, but it was really cool while it lasted, which was for alot of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame it just takes a few people to screw things up. Even if the riders that go there all the time kick them out they will go at night and tear shit up build fires, same senario. Sometimes you can scare them off for good though. Yes always pick up your and other peoples trash . Alot of Landowners enjoy or dont care that there are people riding on their proerty just as long as nobodys bothering anything and noones making a mess. I am a landowner and I know may others who feel the same way. Keeps the trails nice, people are enjoying something that should be enjoyed. Just keep it semi low key and get the assholes OUT as soon as you see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korndawg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 From what I can tell, everybody did a pretty good job of taking care of and respecting this track. All that the owners really asked was that you keep it on the track, and don't go playing in the rest of the field that the track was in. I think the main reason they shut it down was just because the track needed alot of work, and they really didn't feel like messing with it.

I think the main reason they shut it down was just because the track needed alot of work, and they really didn't feel like messing with it. when ours was open it was only for dirt bikes. It closed down once before and then re opened. I think the reason too was because they were`nt getting enough members to keep up the place n recondition. From what I heard it was like $400+ for a year to ride and about $30-40 for a day per person. Maybe itll reopen again one day. Its been closed for well over a year and there arent any for sale signs up or anything. (not any no trespassing either !) Id throw in some cash if the owner was ever around.
