So, I am leaving Los Angeles for a corporate job in Dallas, TX. My wife and I will be moving to Frisco, TX. I know Freestone is about 2 hours from there, but what tracks are around the area within 1-2 hours?

It's hard to find time to ride now here because my current job isn't M-F. My new one will be. Help-a-brotha-out. Wink

Thanks, but I just don't know the names of these places. Is there a website with them all listed?

@skidsteer16, way to stay on topic. And I think hip hop from the last 12 years has been retarded... it must be why I think Stroupe's tweets are retarded.

www.txmotocross.com should get you lined out on what's around here. It has a track list with directions and most major tracks post up practice/race schedules. I'd highly suggest I-35MX, Underground, and Oak Hill. There are plenty of other quality track within a 2 hour drive around the metroplex though.

You will love Frisco! I lived there for 8 months and my wife and I wish we were still there. Like someone said above, you can find everyjing on TXMotocross.com. That's where I went too to find some MX infos! Good luck with the move. I did it myself and drove a huge UHaul truck. It was definitely an experience!!!

And the best news for you is that In n Out burger is following you. They are opening locations in the Dallas/Ft Worth area!

Buffalo Creek is nice also.

Three Palms down in Houston is good if you don't mind riding an amazing track 3 hours away.

Me and friends try and make a trip down there every month or two.

Funny you ask.

Vaughn's (Crossings MX) was my "baby" growing up and that's where I got my start building tracks. I started riding and working there in 2001 when I was 15 and did all his track work until he closed it about four years ago and subdivided the back part of the property into a neighborhood. The timing for that couldn't have been worse as I think only 2-3 homes have been built.

Anyway, the track never really made money so I don't blame him for shutting it down. It was a huge cash drain. In my younger years I did a lot of work for free to keep things going as it was like a second home to me. As I'm sure you experienced, some days the track was pretty dialed and it was a whole lot of fun to ride. At other times we just couldn't stay on top of it with the limited manpower/funds and it was a hard packed dusty mess. We had a really hard base (silty clay) to work with so it took quite a bit of time on the equipment and it had to be watered just right for it to be "really good".

A few years ago I had a hard drive crash that had all my "memories" from there on it and I didn't have it backed up.
I had some really cool stuff on there like a helicopter photo/video promotional shoot we did with Geddy and Freddy Karrle, Travis and Shane Sewell, Brad Ripple, and myself trying to stay in the frame. Cool

Sorry for the long story, this one hits close to home, I grew up with a track 5 minutes from my house and now the closest track is 30 minutes+.

Anyway, here's the tracks in 2003...




Snow covered in 2005, after we added an SX track and right before the main track was reversed.




And here it is today...Sad





Sorry to hijack the thread Tanner, hope you got some good answers to your question.

DV, we're doing the Uhaul thing too, with a car towed behind it. It's gonna be sketchy. I am just pumped to be in an area of the country that allows you to buy a house more than 1200sqft for less than $350k. Houses in Los Angeles are retardedly expensive.



Thanks for the info guys. When I get settled in, maybe I will hit you guys up when I head out to a track for the first time.

Haha! I have family that live in the Dallas area and all they talk about is how In-N-Out is coming. They go by weekly and take pictures of the progress. Needless to say, they moved from SoCal too.
