Seriously, thats like 15 minutes from me. I'm in the process of rebuilding by bike but hit me up when you go and I'll see if I can get a bike going. BTW I ride old school bikes so don't laugh. I have 1975 Yamaha 125 it used to be an AMA bike and a 1978 Kawasaki 175 was a street bike at one point.

the WAY over water it tho, if you dont take the right line you could bog of the lip, track is super muddy. I wanna check out Perris Raceway, I haven't been there in a while, I heard it got alot easier. When I first when there they had some crazy jumps, in technical areas, I was scared **** less, I took me a few trips there to do those track, but I still never did the 80ft table in the back

No prob...I learned to ride on a 78 IT490 that was bored out. Had a ton of torque and I rode that bike for 4 years kicking m buddies asses on their YZ125s and 250s. Then I got a better job and picked up my XR650R and a KTM MX520 for my dad.

well I'm gonna go on the 23rd if anyone wants to go. I'll be in the big red lifted 78 ford pick up. I'm not the greatest either, I can hit most of the jumps there but I can't scrub or anything, and after 2-3 laps of going my fastest I'm tired as ****.

No its not, motocross is alway outdoors and ridin on in the day. They are designed on a more natural hilly area and MX is more wide open throttle hauling *** thru rough *** terrain kind of track. Supercross is more man made style and more technical, its more of a you have to come out of this corner so fast to make this jump.

I know the differance between mx and sx I have been riding is I was 10(my skill dont reflect it ahhahaha) but I'm an decent rider, and know a little bit about the sport.
