The Memphis area consists of about 1 million people. That includes the suburbs of Germantown, Bartlett, Cordova, etc. It's easy to drive through those places and not know you weren't in Memphis. For those of us who live here, it's all the same place. Like every area that includes 1 million people, there are obviously some bad areas. But there are also lots of great neighborhoods and places of interests; restaurants, theaters, museums, music venues, a pro basketball team, a AAA baseball team, and a major university. I've lived here my entire life and my wife and I raised a son here. He went to a great school here, attends a college in Florida, and on most days he's not a jackass. He even still rides a little.
Good luck if you make the move here.

Hidden Valley MX is the only track/riding area I know of. Remember that you are close to Arkansas and Mississippi, too. I've heard good things about spots to ride in NE Arkansas. Also check in with Donnie at Graham KTM in Senatobia, MS. Great guy who races and willing to chat. Also a fellow Vital member.
Hope that helps.

We live in Bartlett, but really close to Lakeland, with easy access to I-40, which made traveling to races very convenient.

If you haven't purchased a home yet, give Bartlett/Lakeland (basically north east Shelby co.) a strong look.
Great schools and the "easy access to I-40" is a big plus.
Another cool thing with the Memphis area...just a couple hours to Loretta Lynn Ranch.
Its a great place to RV camp year round. However, this is no riding there except during designated events.
There are 2 huge woods "fun" rides there each year.
I think this is the only photo I have from there. It's a pic of our neighbor on our 85.
While there are no MX tracks nearby, there are lots of places to mountain bike. One of the jewels of Memphis is Shelby Farms. It's one of the largest urban parks in the country. And it's located in the middle of Memphis.

Edit: Shelby Farms is awesome. Great recommendation...now I want to go ride instead of working right now
You used to could get a good RV spot up top so long as you went by Thursday.
Now, if you go up even as early as Tuesday...you are pushing your luck.
I've to get a mountain bike soon. Shelby farms is great I hear...along with stanky creek in Bartlett.
