MX practice tracks, Waikato?

**mx_newbie** · 5th June 2011, 21:55

Does anyone know of any mx track in the waikato that are open for people to practice on? Wanting to have a go on a track before i start racing. Pretty new to riding so an easy track would be good.
Know of Kimmy's. Also heard there was one in Whatawhata and another one out past Waikera prison? Would be great if anyone could give me any info on those and any others.
Thanks

There is also a track the i went to with one of the top MX riders not sure if its invote or just rock up and pay the money. Its after cambridge but on the other side of karaperio lake from the main road.

waikeria track is good, its owned by the thomsons, dont know what skill you are but every beginner i have been there with did not like it. got a couple decent tabletops, but is often pretty cut up, wouldnt suggest it after rain as has some holes in the track that water sits in and stops ya clearing jumps

whatawhata track is good, best to avoid when its very wet though, im out there all the time and run that facebook page so any questions lemme know. its on heddon rd not to far past whatawhata gas station. well maintained, small jumps, medium jumps, a decent step up and one dodgy ass double, all avoidable or able to roll over, a couple diff track options.

also a track in morrinsville, aparantly that farm sold though so dunno whats gonna happen to in in the next week or two

theres also kimmys and thunder park, i dont go there as both owners are wankers and they are overpriced, thunders poorly marked and has a shit mx track

may also be a track in pirongia, been there a few times then it closed down, heard the other day that it was re-opened though so im not sure whats the go with that one

There's an mx track at Thundercross in Glen Murray/Ngaike (S22). I went past the other day and there was a sign saying closed July to September I think.

It's awesome, a fair trek from Napier I'd imagine, but I looooooooove the enduro loop. The MX track put me in hospital (my own fault) and can't quite grow a big enough pair to get back on it.

The guy at Thunder cross couldnt have been nicer when we went. Seems to be a GC to us. And really, how could you get lost there?
