looks pretty smooth out there tho

**flyingcr250** · 2nd January 2009, 23:28

why cant we have nice smooth tracks in new zealand?? always with the rutted out shit you pay an arm and a leg to ride on, but no maintainance gets done.

As for nice groomed,smooth tracks, pretty hard to go past Ardmore, power hoed and watered every week.....

have you never been to Harrisville???? always groomed and watered

$10 to ride, ($20 if you are not a member)

most of these US tracks are $25 - $40 (US) a day to ride, and everyone signs the waiver at the gate (incl spectators)

but really cool to see BT back riding, and a smile back on his face,

yeah, googled it and apparently it's the oldest MX track in California. Go hard that man, awesome vid, cheers for posting it

practice in California used to be open, as in all in at once, 65's 85c beginners and national pros, some tracks even left Quads in thier to, it can be crazy to watch,

they have sorted it out a bit better in the last couple of years or so, a few years ago when i went to the practice tracks to get some idea's on how to run Harrisville better, and i was shocked, we had a lot more saftey features than they did,

one of the good features of a lot of tracks tho is they have multipul tracks going on, normally a mini track, then what they call a 'vet track' which is a toned down national track, then the full on national track which had bigger jumps,

i think this video is at Competitive Edge, another track in California
