QLD Riding Spots

[FastMarty]

Done some digging for anyone interested... Aparently a newish track at Mary Smokes (between Woodford & Kilcoy) for you sunny coast boys . http://woodfordnewspaper.com/new-private-motocross-track-at-mary-smokes/

Also Motocross Mountain. Its at Yarraman out near Toowoomba. http://www.motocrossmountain.com.au/

[EDIT] - When I go for road rides, I see utes with dirt bikes loaded up going somewhere at the base of Tamborine Mountain /Canungra. They are MX bikes, so not registered. Any ideas where they go anyone?

To add another possibility in the near future, but would take a bit of work, is being allowed to ride at Stanmore. It has unfortunately been closed for several months now to due council regulations. It looks like it will be re-opened shorly, but only to junior riders. I wonder if they would consider allowing minis to ride there as well. You would definitely need a 12" to ride the track, but would be a great track to ride.

 

[FastMarty]

Oh yeah! Stanmore would be awesome! Hope they get it thru.

 

[wogtaz ryder]

Is that the old stadium track ? that place looked sick!

Yeah, the re-opening looks like it is happening. See here : Stanmore MX Club

As for getting minis on it, something we need to work on.

P.S aint gotten back to your message cause im looking for a place to go riding my self... again.. had a place but they got breached for letting me ride on the 10 acres..

 

[TomaszBurcon]

Yes mate i have been there a few times but you have to wear proper boots.

 

[dusty]

is it any good? Had some boots but never wore em so sold em. I'm heading out to johnston rd on sunday if anyone is keen? I think it's near kingston might b wrong. I have never been there before.

Hey Dusty, Yeah you can ride at QMP with work boots or whatever. But, you can only ride the Enduro trails and or the "Junior MX" track. The one next to the really little kid flat track. I've cut heaps of laps on the Junior on my LXR, and it was wicked fun. Trails suck bad on a mini or midi, cos they are very rocky. Loose, softball sized rocks all over the trails. Except the "novice" Enduro trail is fun on the mini,... but very short. Only takes about 4-5 mins to blat around it.

I sold on my LXR so I can go up to a MX bike. So I can't do the mini tracks any more.

By the way, as far as I know, they won't let you on the big boy MX tracks at QMP with work boots. Have to be full MX boots and NO tear offs. hehehe. I've seen plenty of dudes get agro about having to take off their tear offs there. But.. its why the park is so nice and clean!

Have fun out there if u go.

Fort is sick on any bike. Beats you sensless. The double jumps are pretty savage on a mini, and I haven't been back on my MX bike, till I do some more hours at QMP and get used to jumping more.

Also, the New stadium track at QMP is cool fun. But again, make sure you are comfy doing doubles... cos they are mad. Not fun trying to hop over them.

saturday me my father and my mate went to check out a riding palce we herd about in the on pumicestone rd so we went to check it out this is a map of how to get there go up the bruse high wayand take the Pummicestone Rd Toorbul/donnybrook turnoff follow the first dirt road up till to you come up to another road there is a strawberry farm of the left its a pretty easy place to find i guess there will be cars there so just park near the other cars than thats a safer way so your cars don't get destoryed from some idiots

 

[kangabee]
