Wanted: Learning Space in Manawatu

[sweetp]

Hi, The kids and I are new MX riders and we are looking for a space to practice and learn. We tried a MX club track but it was a bit too advanced for the kids.

We live in Foxton but willing to travel a little bit. What would be ideal is a paddock that has a couple of rises. Somewhere big enough so the eldest can get up to speed to change gear but not so flat that they get board riding in circles.

Any ideas / directions whould be appreciated.

Hi there,

The perfect spot for you guy's would be the Taikorea bike park, only 15 mins from Foxton by Himatangi. They have a MX track and kids/learners track, also about 15km of X-country loops. Heres their interweb link..

They are open this sunday (10th) from 10 till 4pm. 10 bucks per rider.

Why Dont you teach them to ride on the beach? Or has the law changed up there now?

We used to get away with it, rode up there heaps when i was young it was always good fun
