Went to Rocky Hill CT motocross track....

[Neytiri]

Went there yesterday as it was the only track open on a Wednesday.

2 hour drive and I must say it wasn't all that great of a track. Only 2 descent sized jumps and the rest just striaghts. Its a great newbie friendly track but for the price/distance I won't go there again.

Not too mention you had to push your bike in the parking lot which was BS. Every track I've been to I never had to push my bike once you leave the gate. They should of atleast created a waiver saying " Its a motocross track, shit happens, own upto your mistakes and pay for them if anything happens"

I haven't been since they changed the track more recently but will head down again sometime. Whats the issue with walking your bike to the start though its not like that parking lot is huge aha

Hmmm... That place had huge jumps when I've been there. The 105 is 2 big tables that the fast guys can clear as a double. There was also a challenging sharp whoop section and a fast rythym section. I always liked it. But I'm not an expert.

the morning sessions after they water teach you some good ice riding skills (clay + water + flat corner = weeee)

track was always fun the times i've gone, best was when its at its full length. i guess it does have it's share of straights but i like that it's another novice friendly track i can get to in under 2hrs

sweet. CH is super close to me so if i can ever do a weekday i'll let you know.

i emailed with Robby Marshall a few times about getting some lessons from him at CH. i think that would be great for me. work the skills on some home turf.

Well I parked far away which was the only spot left close enough, it just sucks after riding 30 minutes + and you're exhausted the last thing you want to do is push your bike.

[seth399]

you rode too long!! aha jk

[lrrs313]

It wasn't all that long ago that you had to push your bike at all MX tracks in the pits. I think Southwick was one of the first to allow riding in the pits (kind of had to when they moved the pits to the other side of that hill). Middleboro (Capeway Rovers) just started allowing riding in the pits I believe last year or the year before. Rider Hill (Derby, VT) still requires bikes to be pushed. Kids are spoiled nowadays.

I love that track. We should do an NESR ride there sometime.

I am sure it was not directed at you. I am pretty sure its a comment on how to use to have push your bike everywhere, and now you don't.

You meaning everybody not YOU.

Bingo. Not aimed at anyone in particular. And yes, it sucks to push your bike. It sucks even more to push your buddy's bike because he just displaced the cartilage in his knee and can barely walk. But it's the way it was not too long ago.

[breakdirt916]

it also sucks to have to push your bike from the opposite side of CH back to the parking lot because you ran out of gas

Lmao or from the 3/10 split to your pit by T1 because you ran out of gas. Or because you snapped the chain coming up out of the bowl.
