Edit: another positive is it’s a ton of farm land in the valley so complaining neighbors would be minimal.

I was born in Palm Springs.

But it’s been 5 years since I’ve been there. Used to go all the time when I lived in CA. Once you got past the strip it always was a bit sketchy.

I understand people like Moto but up here in north Idaho the hard enduro scene and hare scrambles are where it’s at. Miles and miles of free riding and great views or spend loads of money on practice and race days.. idk too each their own

The thing about Motocross is you actually get to RIDE your bike....I've never understood the Hard Enduro obsession, is it really that fun to push your bike and around and launch it off shit just to make it up? So you can then turn around and spend a bunch of money on parts that you broke taking your bike somewhere it doesn't belong.....

I always figured they had 12" of suspension for a reason and it ain't to make them easier to push around Tongue

Don't even get me started on a bunch of Billy Bolt wannabes riding their bikes off trail and getting riding places closed down by the greenies....

Hard enduro is for dewbs that watch too much YouTube and wear their jerseys to the bar.

Don't get me started, lol. If you've seen monster treads on PNWMotocross on FB with all the lemmings piling on someone for critiquing track prep build it was probably "instigated " by me. The absolute shit build/prep of the NW tracks is a big part of why we have dropped off riding/racing MX. My boys are fortunate to have a prepped track to ride at home but it's a complete disappointment to drive somewhere and pay $$ to ride complete crap. I could write a novel but I'll leave it at that for now.................
