Does anyone now of any good trails or tracks around minnesota.

We have so many forests in this state but we don;t have very many large trail systems like they do in some other states.

How about the badlands is there any good tails around there?

Thanks:D

I am pretty new into it too a started riding my warrior about a year ago.But I don't really like it because it does not have to best handleing.

its a FMF powercore4, i hear they dont give out that much power for how much they cost but it came wit the bike so i can't tell. it sounds sweet though. yea i hear the warrior is alil heavy too, u cant go wrong wit a 300ex. The guy i bought my 300 from got a 400ex and he let me ride it once, and it is fast! You are going to notice a tremendous difference from your warrior! you can PM me from now on so i don't hafta look at this thread all the time

Well redwoods falls one is close to Bechlyen(sp). Its a pretty big pit. Theres trails and hills there, with a few jumps. The vesta pit is a few miles from vesta. Its smaller but theres more jumps.

I havent been to the one by scared hart, a kid at vesta was talking about it. Sounds nice.

Yeah the pits are used alot. Some jumps suck because kids on there dam 4x4s.

They got medium and smaller size jumps. Nothing really big tho.

I'm from Pillager, 11 miles West of Brainerd. We don't really have squat around here for riding that I know of. We used to have a few gravel pits but they have all been shut down. It's alright because we have MX races every Friday Night in the summer at the Brainerd Fair grounds.

www.kcracepromotions.com

is the link to the track. It's small and tight but it's alot of fun. Everyone should come up next summer and give it a shot.
