I know where it is. It is on private property, you need to know the guy to get in so he can unlock the gate. The last time I rode by there it was grown up with grass and was rutted out. I don't know if they are going to clean it up or not.

Hey Tico if you want a track to practice on, my buddy got a track and shop less then two miles from Big Bend RD. It's called cycle outpost! KNINE goes there often. I did when my quad was working, and will be going alot more real soon when it is fixed. Let me know if your interested I will give you direction.

Sure it would be nice !!! Im not a MX racer but I enjoy some jumping on my quad (specially when I land on my quad) . I think I saw some pics in this site from that track, it looks nice for the part I got to see, how long is it, is there any gate fee?
When is the next time you guys are going that way?

It's not very long, but it is very technical. There are some big jumps and some small ones. I'm not sure if he charges to ride out there or not. I pay him to work on my quads. So he has never charged me to ride. He's an awesome mechanic. My 450r is still out of commission, So I haven't rode there in awhile. You can give him a call if you want. His name is Tim Baker.

I'll give him $10(courtesy) for the effort of maintaining the track or I'll bring diesel fuel for the bobcat.


His track in the past has always been a "Private/Invite" track!
But, Since, He has open up his 'Business'...riders that have had work done are invited out there on Sundays!( He now has a 'Waiver' u have to sign....)

He Also, gives "Private Leson" during the week Days!

Yeah I donate diesel fuel also. I set up a donation bucket one time because nobody was helping with diesel to keep the track maintained. Not sure if it is still up or not.

Yeah I heard the same thing. I think Tim has the key to the gate. I think he told me one time that he help build the track many years ago. but hasn't ridden out there in a long time.
