hey scott, as im new to all things mx, and want to have a go, whats the terrain like? is is simply a course in a flat paddock?

For christ's sake make sure there is a good buffer zone between the track and any remaining maize stalks (harvested) that may be protruding out of the ground..

A chap I know overshot a jump, crashed, and ended up with one impaled through his mouth (underneath) pinning his tounge to the roof. They're sharp little buggers..

we race in maize paddocks here in gizzy at least 3 times a year- never heard of anything nasty like that happening, we rely on the bikes to mow the stalks down, which over a day they do quite nicely.

note, flattening the track a bit the day before with your van will fuck the paint down the sides though...

ill try be there...........looks like fun

a Maize Paddock motocross is a very easy entry level race, Maize Paddocks are flat to rolling, and the tracks are laid out in a way to make use of the natural terrain, it is the most basic type of racing and very good fun for all levels, there are no man made jumps or technical sections to catch people out,

i have never heard of that either, no motorsport can be made 100% safe but i will take you comment on board.
