I am a member of a local track in NY called Walden Playboys. I was just wondering what are the number of riders people in diffrent spots of the country see at th track on practice day.

Lately, around here, it's been varied from one extreme(20) to the other(100+).

it really depends on the track. some tracks would be happy with 40.

I would say 100+ in most of the tracks I go to. I know our club gets well over 100 every ride.

I ride at a track that is little known and have never seen more that 30 or so people there. I have ridden at Big air and there were probably 75 or so there the day I rode. I have heard that MX131 gets busy.

The last few times I have been at big air there was like 30-40 guys tops, that was a few years ago though. Every time I have been to Log Road, Baja, Gratten there has been alot of people.

I completely forgot about Grattan. I only rode there once. I was just coming back from my shoulder seperation and signed into the c class. I wasn't on the track two laps and got hit by someone thinking they were the next Bubba Stewart. He didn't knock me down but he wrapped his front spokes around my footpeg and he fell down. Too funny.

I hear ya, had that happen at Baja. Dude thought he could go thru the sand whoops with one hand on the bars and took me and 2 other guys down. Wasn't very happy.

The track was awesome. Of course with that many riders it was super rough by mid day. There was a lot of waiting to get out onto the track (sometimes you'd have to wait for 3 sessions while in staging) but all in all it was good. It was my 5th time there this year, not the absolute best day ive had there but it was super fun.

We have 10 operating MX parks here in Houston that are always open, either for practice or on race days. So the attendance really varies. At single main track facilities, it's not unusual on a slow day to have 20 bikes or less at the facility. At our largest facility, which has 4 advanced tracks, they have days with 200 plus riders.

Since we just ride for fun, we go to the tracks the weekend following their last race, so its just locals like us practicing.
