Hey guys, i'm glad to have found this site. I'm looking into purchasing a new Dirt bike soon, i'm really not sure which one i want. I rode from age 9 (started on an old pw90 from yamaha.) and ended at age 16 when i moved out of the country. My last bike was a yz125 and i'm thinking about sticking with yamaha and possibly getting a 2016 YZ250.

However, thats not where my real question lies. I'm looking for places around Dallas, Carrollton texas that i can ride. I've seen shady grove MX in irving, but heard its just an over glorified junkyard.. I'm willing to drive out about 40-60 miles to ride on weekends. But, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks guys! Hope to hear back soon.

Payton

Is River Valley Mike Kidd's old place? I raced there back in 87' in my old TT days. They had limestone that they put road oil down on ... made for a really good racing surface.

Not sure. Have only been going there a year of so. Nice place, though.

Howdy neighbor! Marshall Creek aka Trophy Club Park is a Core of Engineer's property. Fun place to go for a quick ride. The track is not difficult, but does have some nice sandy berms. After a light rain the conditions are best.

Drive a bit further and get a membership to SWAN mx in Tyler, Tx. It is a super track.
