I could never narrow it down to one!

I've ridden lots that I would consider "amazing" on certain days...

Hollister
Honey Lake
Washougal
Zaca
Toes MX
Cooperland - is this place around still? Did East/West WORCS there and it was awesome!

I'm also very fond of Pax Trax in Florida. It has a cool layout.
Speed city has come a long way since the old seaford days , the just reopened the landing in Easton md , you need to check it out dirt works built the track

Mammoth or Hollister in the mid to late 90's was about as good as it comes. Oatfield still looks great today. And if you ever get to Colorado you have to check out Sweney Cycle Park. Best dirt here by far.

Unadilla when they would let the cows graze and the grass grow on it all year , by the third practice it was 2 ft off top soil that you took out off a bag ,

My fav local track was the original southwoods located behind the Toyota dealer in Monticello ny , the track was built on the side off a mountain and everything but the start was in the woods, and when you where done with your moto you could go cool off in the river that ran all along the pits , if I ever hit the lottery I am buying that place and building a house there

Motoworld in PHX on SX weekend in 2013 right before they closed. Two of the best days of riding on a track I've ever had. Perfect prep both days, fun layout. ACP was a blast that same weekend as well.

I will have to say Dade City. It dosent have the biggest jumps, its not the longest lap time either. But if you start ridding there as a kid, you have a good chance of becoming a pro. Story has it that, for more then 25 years, all the blood and sweat of up coming pros have mixed into the dirt. And if you ride the track enough and eat enough dirt(aka wreck), you will get some of their dna. But we all know how stories are these days.

Love that place. Wish they had more open practices.

But when that place is prepped and fresh, it doesn't get any better!!!

Cedar city Utah, before it was sold and the new owners let it go to shit. They had decent dirt as it was, but they added massive amount of wood chips to it that just made it absolutely amazing.


A very close second would be cycle ranch in Texas. I've been there 4 times and every single time I cut the first lines and am the last to leave to the point they tell me the track is closing soon. They lay out, the dirt, just everything
+1 for Cycle Ranch. Best dirt on the planet. Without a doubt. Cutting the first lines is like drawing butter.

Cahuilla and Washougal. I also love Burnt Ridge on a day when its prepped killer (ripped deep and heavily watered). I forgot one that I needed to add, there may be a couple guys on here that know where I am talking about, and its Washtucna, that place was amazing.

Aquasco, MD... mapquest it. Closed in the late 90's from what I remember. Travis Pastrana started his racing career here when he was on a 50.

Best tracks I haver rode were in West Germany....1974 and 1975. Gaildorf, Beurn, Bilstein and countless others that are indelible in my memory. These tracks were all natural terrain and had (at that time) never seen a piece of equipment! Natural hills and drop offs........off camber everywhere. Skill and technique was required. The tracks were never groomed for years if ever.

Village Creek circa 1997 in DFW, and Washougal in the late 90s when the dirt was better.

The CDR Tech track just south of Castle Rock, Colorado. I only rode it once in 1983 before it closed.

For me it's either Foxhills or Dean Moor in Cumbria. I rode Foxhills at the BYMX in '09. I think it started out wet but ended up amazing by Sunday evening.

Dean Moor is a funny one for me. Rode it at the BYMX in '10 .There was nothing special about it at all, but I really clicked with it. I went from battling around 15th in the youth open class at all the other rounds to pushing for top 5s. I even came 4th in one race, less than a second from third. I caught, passed, and put 7 seconds on Nathan Watson that weekend - highlight of my career!
