Cherryfield Maine Private Practice Track

freefaller35 — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:56:13 GMT

I'm working on a track on my property. So far I have about a 1 mile long track bush hogged in my field which is about 25 feet wide in all places. The track needs jumps and whoops so I'm looking for folks to donate time and equipment (Excavators and Dozers) to make this a nice practice track for those who are tired of riding in the gravel pits. The track first needs to be rototilled then we can get started in making this a very cool place to ride. Please post any interest on this thread so I can determine if this is a worth while cause or not.

The After School Special

Toddwr250r — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:49:49 GMT

So, I was talking to some friends, who all have kids that are just starting out riding. between first year and five years of riding. It seems that having a place for the kiddies to ride is a little tough, and the though of sending them to a riding school is cost prohibitive. I thought that a get together for the kids to ride, and maybe give them a little coaching would be a good idea. This event is scheduled for June 19th and 20th, with a ran date of the 26th and 27th. I've got a small track out back that the kids can ride and beat up. I'm sure that most of the adults will have a little fun on it too, but later i kinda figured that there should be time for an adult ride too. This will be a camp over. Bring your own gear/food/whatever. This is also posted over on advrider under the same topic title. if your interested pm me here or there.

Kingfield, Jordan Lumber track

Hammer — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:07:55 GMT

While prowling and growling on the sled this winter, I saw a track in Kingfield somewhere behind a house, behind Jordan lumber. I live in Carrabassett and was wondering if anyone knew who to talk to, or if money needs to change hands and deals be made under the table.

Shawn are you interested in riding in NH

IrishAtHeart — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:01:25 GMT

Shawn, I have access to Robbie Merrill's private mx track. He is the bass guitarist for Godsmack. I built him a couple gates. I may be able to get one maybe two more riders on (have to sign releases). Its an hour and twenty minutes from my house. The track is about 2-2.25 miles and has a great mixture of terrain, hills, jumps and turns. I usually ride once or twice a month there on weekday afternoons and sometimes on weekend mornings. Let me know if you are interested. I figure you helped me out for my first race back in August, and I need more people to ride with.

Tread Lightly! in Maine: Landowners, Access & Communication

ssalisburyktm — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:01:43 GMT

If you ride in the woods and don't have your own land, you probably recognize that you could lose access to that land if yahoos trash the place. If you want to be part of the solution to trail closures check out www.treadlightly.org. On the "Programs/Tread Trainer" page you'll see that Friend & Friend, Orono and Reynolds Motorsports in Buxton are hosting communications training courses for people like me who want to keep riding my favorite trails. The Orono date is Sunday, February 28th and Buxton event is two weeks later on March 14th.

Tread Lightly! is very serious about off road. They started 25 years ago as part of the US Forest Service. They've since become a non-profit whose sponsors include Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, Polaris, and the AMA. In 2009 alone they reached 10 million people through print & TV public service announcements and 30,000 folks face-to-face. If you read The Maine Snowmobiler, check out my press release on pg 16 of the January issue.

If this makes sense to you, I hope you'll call Steve @ 207.827.2980 or 207.841.8434.

Info On Dube's Pit in Sabattus

at3gtguy — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:16:24 GMT

I know at least a few people on these forums ride out at Dube's Pit in Sabattus. I was just wondering if anyone knew whom to get a hold of for permission to ride there if required, when you can ride there and what part of the pit they allow riding in. I know most people consider their riding spot top secret, but we are all out here for a common love of the dirt. I'm really just looking for a place to practice a little as i don't feel i am quite ready to go play at Hemonds quite yet. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hey,

I'm a new member and eventhough I'm from MA, I'm sometimes in the Bethel area. I was wondering if anyone knows of any riding spots near Bethel. I know that Spruce Mountain MX is right near there, but I can't seem to find when they hold practice. Anything would be a great help. Thanks.

trails

ironman — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:28:07 GMT

im just curious but am i the only one who sneeks out to hit the moguls on sled trails with the bike?? the folks arround here get a bit tweeked, mostly cuz they cant catch me, and its illegal. i read the law books and found that every page is a contradiction of every word printed. by definition everything " but your cars n stuff" is an atv. yes even snosleds are atv's by definition. and the law books encourage riding on maintained trails. i just think its funny, i think everybody should ride and live it up but dusnt it make more sense to ride on frozen trails then mud bog the hell out of them??

:laugh:

Places to ride in or around Auburn

at3gtguy — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:41:16 GMT

I recently moved to auburn and have since bought a cr250 to play on. I know there are several tracks to ride on in the area, but i haven't ridden dirt in about 15 years and would like to find a place to play around and get comfortable on the bike before going to run practices. After searching on google earth I noticed that there are several pits in auburn or the outskirts. Does anyone know if any of the pit owners will give use permision to use them in the off hours? I have heard dirtbikes in town and it sounds like they are coming from the Walmart area, but I can never seem to find them when i go looking, would anyone here know where they might be riding? I'm also looking for people to ride with if anyone is up for a ride.
