Blake Baggett's El Chupacabra Ranch

Toneconsultant
Just wow. I guess Blake means business. After watching that video (see below), I think it would be foolish for anyone to discount his desire to make "it" happen. He's not messing around. Pretty cool to see someone invest that much $ and time into his system.

Would make a great training facility in the future. Maybe he plans to turn it into a full blown training facility when he retires from racing?

I couldn't tell if he was serious or not when he talked about his dad building the over-under?

He looks and sounds happier with this team than I've ever seen him. I look for big things from him in the future

Very interesting to hear him say he used to hate supercross, literally didn't even like it. Cool to see one of my favorite racers turn it around so much.

Blake is the real deal.

Unlike numerous pros who don't invest in / care about their future / ride mainly for a pay check.

I have a strong feeling that Blake has been raised properly and his Dad is also the real deal.

Cant wait for outdoors.

He's "content".
That's as Good as it Gets in this game.
He smiles like he did back when he rode for Mitch.

Loader hydraulics also need a rebuild.

His parents are really good people. Have met both his mom and dad on several occasions and they are very nice and down to earth. I've got a jersey of blakes from when he was maybe 9 or 10 years old too. Rooting for him to finish out this season strong

Looks like the ranch is getting sold to a developer. Damn.

Anyone with a half brain knew that’s where it was headed. That’s why Blake held out so long on the high price that people clowned him for years ago. They’re gonna keep developing every green acre left in FL.

Is there any room left in Leesburg? With development of land tacking place in FL so fast, where will the next moto capital be? The Carolinas?

I think southern Georgia has a solid resume for quality facilities and fairly compliant winter training weather. 

I hope fewer people in Florida sell out to developers and keep the dirt bike culture around. Spyder MX sold their old property to a developer recently, but thankful they found a new home nearby to keep it going.

Won’t be NC. Land is being gobbled up to turn into housing developments for the influx of people moving here. Not changing for the better…..😡

Carolina’s r too ovr crowed too.  65 mikes north of Green Bay & west of gb . There is premo Mx land with no worries about development. Mostly sand , hills or loam. Only problem may it’s still cold . So it would b a short June  to sept season .  Florida is crazy ovr crowded now . 70 miles south of atl is crowded bad too.  Alabama maybe but it’s mostly clay there & it’s hotter than Florida. Wi. Rapids is probably the best riding park in the county & only 20 bucks no waityfor a session .  Deep sand with hills better than any Holland track.
