Has anyone been to Club to ride/practice for a day. The only new video I can find is this

Looks like a track roped off with tape, that you pay $30 bucks a day to ride. Are there more track's open to the public with out doing training?

Thanks.

Their practice facility track is always open, and once in a while they open the front track and sand track. I’m not sure what that roped off grass track is all about...

Its a check mark off the bucket list. Go ride it.


The track your referring too was the "new" practice track. They ran out of time with insurance/hurricane prior to the club open day. I have no doubt it will be just like the other tracks. AMAZING!!!!!

So there is the "grass track" plus an actual track open to the public correct.

The grass track is the new public track in the making.

This is what the practice track is like currently. This is the track you are referring to as the "grass track". There has been a fair amount of rain in the area lately so they had the sand track open today according to the Facebook page.

I'm a Club MX local.

The "Grass Track" which is the new public practice track is super fun...its not really a grass track anymore. Last I rode it had a pretty good rhythm section that I could only do the first two jumps of (three jumps total) and a really good set of whoops. Super deep, super rough off camber turns. Its really awesome. Maybe if you make a 9 hour drive you cold sweet talk them into letting you rip on the Sand Track.

The layout is pretty wide open and if its anything like the old practice track they won't put any crazy jumps on it...The finish line table was a booter but otherwise a couple of doubles and triples with tame lower trajectory options.

Anyhoo the old practice track is going to be turned into Supercross tracks.

Someone told me they had permitting issues. At the entrance is an old track called Sand Hill, we used to race there back in the day. Its definitely an icon of the Carolina MX scene...basically looks like a junkyard now. I heard the owner caused a big stink and it put their ability to break ground on hold. Zack Osbourne used to race out there a lot and I believe that's what made him look for land in the area to build Club Mx.

I've always wondered how that guy felt knowing all these people from all over the country want to come there to ride an they drive right by his rundown ass track.

You are correct, I am old... that doesn't mean I'm stupid or slow or don't jump everything. Racing happens on the ground!

There's a reason why the GNCC /offroad folks can attract 2000+ riders on a w/e and the local MX track can't survive financially. The tracks are too dangerous with all the jumps. People choose to ride/race at an event that will still allow them to show up for work on mon. And I know the young kids want to jump so they can rest in the air and not have to be in shape (-:

That said, I won't be at club MX till next week and by then , what's left of the grass track will be changed.

By the way.. what the hell are you doing on my lawn anyway!

The old practice track was awesome. I loved the woods section. Pretty good elevation.

The new practice track looks good, but judging by the videos so far nothing really special.

Track was sweet.
Started out ruff for the boy for his third ride on a 65 and first outdoor ride. By the end of the 6hr day he improved a ton.
They don't need to change it.

Second session he went over the bars at speed, filthy Phil picked him up lol.
