practice tracks in brissie?

[mainline]

Just wondering if anyone knows of tracks to ride on a weekday or weekend when there isn't a club event on. I used to go up to Tivoli for the odd mid-week ride, but curious to know if there's any other proper MX tracks around.

Cheers

Stanmore on Stanmore Rd at Yatala, weekends only i think and Reedy Creek, tuesday nights and some arvos plus weekends (not vintage friendly really)

hey brad how is stanmore nowadays and how much to ride ?

[Maico31]

Stanmore is way better than it used to be, it's recently been changed a fair bit. It's 20 bucks for the day.

[mainline]

Maico31, by "way better", do you mean reasonably vintage friendly?

[oldfart]

Still has the table top finish and mid section jumps , But the berms are something else .

We where out there last w/end, it is evo/pre'85 ridable.............lots of tight turns and doubles and the 200kph sweeping main straight is gone.

... the 200kph sweeping main straight is gone.

and for the best in my honest opinion; glad to hear it.
I've watched the moderns on a few occasions and the gun riders take that sweeping corner-cum-downhill straight absolutely flat Knacker!
I fully expected to see a tank slapper send someone to God after kissing those big angry trees.

Mainline it's not completely vintage friendly but like evo550 said it's ok for evo/pre '85 bikes. I only ride my modern there and save the vintage stuff for vmx races.

NEWS  Meanwhile, a 39-year-old man from Pimpama, north of Surfers Paradise, died after crash landing during a jump on a motor cross track at Reedy Creek.
Police said he was riding a motorbike on the track at Old Coach Rd about 7pm.

Way too young -Sympathy to his family and friends.

Stanmore is only open weekends for practice.
If there was someone riding there midweek it'll be one of the Pro's holding a riding school.

Don't know how far you want to travel, but Kenilworth is also an option, open 7 days.
Just pray for no rain.
