Could be keen to come and check it out if its open. Haven't been there before and i'm not the best sand rider haha. Is it kinda like the sandpit mx track in regards to riding surface?

Our Apprentice is still off work with a broken collarbone from the last time he rode there.

Nature of the beast unfortunately

Mercer is more pebbly than the beach sand at the sandpit, but similar techniques required, and the bottom section is filled and has a harder base,

Shame about those ill handling Yamaha's throwing him off, :0 (joking)

unfortunatly its part of racing bikes, and collarbones are the most comman injury,

at the moment, we could nearly run jet ski racing around some of the track,
