[Eddie]

Anyone from Lorain,ohio (near cleveland) Home of the lorain dumps and pearl :D

[UglyMotha™]

hey, i ride the dumps all the time, i live right below elyria in spencer, i usally go out to the dump every saturday, and what's the pearl i won't be out there this saturday though, but i'm thinking about goin tomorow, you wanna meet me up there maybe

[Eddie]

pearl is off pearl road, the dumps is better though. I cant go riding yet, cause going to look at a 400EX today at pentons, hopefully ill get one... :devil

[UglyMotha™]

be sure to get a new one cause the used ones they have out front they want way to much freaking money for and don't seem to want to come down from what i hear specially considering you can go on the showroom and buy a new one for 800 more plus the used ones that i saw up ther last week looked like they had the shi* beat out of them and they only had one yellow new 400ex up there i dunno if there bringin in anymore cause there trying to get rid of most of there crap before they move to there new building which isn't even close to being done

[Eddie]

Would you go to Penton Or that place in cleveland or the harly shop in elyria? :square

[UglyMotha™]

i would go to penton's if i was you definantly not the harley shop in ely unless you plan on getting a harley if you get my drift, i often get my parts from there but they have like one fourwheeler on there showroom (foreman) maybe two d/bikes, i got mine at pentons was able to get them down to 5200 on mine back in november, i really don't know what there goin for now i dunno about the place in cleveland you get also check out what use to be jerry ferrels i can't rember what it's called now but it's that joint out in medina on rt18

Hi I live in Cleveland Ohio and i am looking for some where new to ride.....do u have any suggestions? We gone to Elson Street, Bear Creek and we are planning a trip out to Wayne National Forest but is there anywhere else LEGAL to ride

[Eddie]

I went with Pentons. Got a new 02' 400ex for about $5,000 out the door. Should be here within the week hopefully.

Race girl stated you like drag racing, go to Dragway 42 much? I see a falcon there alot. :devil

[UglyMotha™]

[Eddie]

[Kadafiy]

Sorry to awake an old post but i was searching and saw you guys talking about a riding spot on pearl road where is that? I'm right outside of Cleveland. Thanks

[UglyMotha™]

east side, west side or south side of cleveland i can't get directions to the riding place on pearl road but you'll have to wait until like wed. but there is a way better riding hole on colorado ave. in lorain

directions to elson street from cleveland area
I-77 south to rt 30 east to rt 43 south look for elson street on the right. its a small gravel road about 15 minutes down rt43. its all trails wooded hilly trails no open areas for jumps and wheelies.

bearcreek directions take 77 south to Fohl rd left on Fohl till it ends (1 mile) turn right follw signs to bearcreek. its easy to find, both places are south of canton.
bearcreeck has trails jumps hills and a small circle track. both places cost like 12 dollars to ride on the weekends.

[Kadafiy]

I live South of Cleveland, around the Strongsville area. What city is Pearl in? (the riding place not the street) Where in Lorain is that other place? Another good place to ride is the Rumble on the Ridge in Adena, Ohio, but those are done for the year.

[Quadfather]

Elson St has two huge fields for drag racing, and riding wheelies.

One of the fields even has a nice, but small double jump on it.

You just have to know how to get there. There is even a very nice MX track there.

is the mx track part of elson street

[Quadfather]

I believe the track is Battlesburg MX track. You have to do about a 1 mile road ride to access it.

[Eddie]

Pearl is an open site near a set of traintracks ,theres a few open spots,some hills, but have to watch out for glass back there, the dumps off colorado near margies magpie are better. i have made up a picture of were pearl is since alot of people asked, but the dumps are 3X better imo.

[codeman1498]

do any of you guys ever ride out at baumhardt

[UglyMotha™]

i do, duh:huh

[codeman1498]

do you really we should meet up out there sometime

[crashinmatt]

i used to ride at baumhart, but the last time we went, some foreign guy was sittin in his car and claimed he owned the whole place and no one was allowed to ride there. i looked into it and i know for a fact that he doesnt own it. but havent been back since, mainly cuz everyone i used to go riding with decided to give it up. so i decided to get into racing, and thats all i really do anymore.

[mesz1]

We have tons of riding close to the shop, MeszMoto is about 1 hour from hopkins between exit 13A and 14 on the pike. Let me know and we can set up a ride.

[Kadafiy]

Where exactly is your shop?

[mesz1]

In Windham, It's north of ravenna on SR303 next to Garrettsville.

[UglyMotha™]

how close are you too elyria bob

[UglyMotha™]

i just looked it up and it look like about an hour from me if the riding is as good as you say it is i would be more than willing to make a trip out there some saturday soon as i get my quad back together

[hindelk]

soon as i get my ride back together we'll hook up and i'll take you out there

[crashinmatt]

its right off rt 2 in amherst. take route 2 to baumhart rd and go north to the train overpass(like 1/4 or something). and look to the left and ull see the trails. just gotta find a place to park.

[Cowboy400]

Im not sure of the real name of the track by elson street. Everyone I know just calls it Malvern. I know there is the MX track, elson street, and another track I believe within a couple of miles of each other.

[Quadfather]

I believe that is Battlesburg MX

[Jeffksf]

Hey I'm in Cleveland too. I've ridden alot of those places, not the ones in Baumhart though. I'll be checkin here when I start riding this spring.

[UglyMotha™]

[hindelk]

yeah actually me and jeff are part of the same riding group

its me him a guy named brian and a guy named chris we all have z400's

Ohio mafia:devil

[motox36]

In the last reply I heard you guys say something about a MX track on Elson St. How nice of a track is it, is it like a real MX layout doubles, tabletops, etc... or is it more like a back yard play track? I'm from Castalia, Oh right by sandusky so it'd be about a 1 hour drive. Would it be worth going up there to ride my 400 or my 250f? What does it cost? Let me know if you could. Thanks

[hindelk]

motox36 have you ever been to hangtime, that is in norwalk where i live its a nice track, it is a nice track to practice on

Hey Dont forget about me.. I am a part time patron of the group, Jeff will vouch for me.. :devil

[hindelk]

which one are you the other jeff?

well whats your name and i will remeber

[motox36]

Yea I ride the Hangtime track every Wednesday and Saturday that I can. However, the last couple times I went to practice at the end of the 02 season the track was closed. I called the number but no one ever picked up, what's up with that? Anyway, did they change the track yet this year? I hope they dont' take out that sweet 90ft tabletop to tabletop double. About that track on Elson St. When can you start practicing this year? is there a set schedule? Thanks

[hindelk]

moto what kind of quad do you have and where do you live

[motox36]

I have a 99 400ex w/some mods. But I am selling it, I've never raced it. I've been racing bikes for 7 years. I race a yz250f and I have a 99 yz 125 for sale. I live in Castalia, Ohio about 5 miles south of Sandusky. I've rode Malvern that track, it's decent, not very challenging, and Battlesburg is right down the road from it. I've never rode there before just saw it.

[400ex45]

about the mx tracks at elson street the one you can ride to but is a pain is battlesburg mx park and the other mx track close buy that i dont think you can ride to is malvern.

[BARRY]

hey everyone in cleveland. stop up at heartland auto sales on pearl rd and well talk about were i ride .also spread the word i have a 99warrior in pretty good shape for 2100bucks:devil :p :devil :devil :grr

[codeman1498]

Hey Barry I live in Spencer about a half hour out of Medina, I'm interested in your warrior I was wondering if you could give me directions to your house so I could come check it out.

[BARRY]

call me at this number anytime 216 469 0084

[smileymtb]

Argghh, I hate to bring back such a dead post, but does anyone know if you can still ride at the Lorain Dumps?

I went there a few weekends ago but it looks like it is all closed up now.

I moved into the Avon Lake area a while ago and I am looking for a close place to ride. Thanks!

[IcutMetl]

This post is probably old as dirt, but what's the story on the dumps...are they still open? What about the Baumhart road area? I'm from Sandusky area, and my buddy and I are dying to ride somewhere that isn't first gear woods or a flat field.

[crablaster]

this thread is supper old all of theses places are closed or shut down

[IcutMetl]

I figured as much; I was kind of hoping there was some other areas around here that were acceptable or legal to ride in.

[QuadCobbler]

If your still looking for places to ride, there is always Elson Street riding park on rt 43 near malvern, Welsville OH not legal but not illegal either go to the forbiden zone on myspace, and there is always boring as hell over crowded ADENA, ohio 32 + miles of lame. oh ya and bear creek near canton.

[Kovatch]

Although it is a little farther south than the previous mentioned places, Crow Canyon is a fun place. It costs a few bucks to get in but they have a solid mx track as well as 400+ acres of go anywhere trails. You can ride up the sides of the hills (200'+ high hills), drag race up another, trail ride, whatever. It's a fun place to spend the day. We go to condition at the mx track and then ride trails in between.

www.crowcanyonmx.com

Also, the following link may have more MX parks, but you should check as some, I believe, have trails. Extreme Outlaw doesn't exist and/or you can't get ahold of anyone. Don't call the number because it is a lady's house and she is not affiliated with the place (tried it before).

[greentrx]

We used to ride Outlaw in 2004-2005, but recently, it has been impossible to get a hold of anyone there. The number that used to be listed was a lady's house who had no connection to Extreme Outlaw, but always was receiving calls about the track. It was a blast, but I don't thinks it's open anymore...=(

@jjv101
Someone just north of the Rt 18 exit on the west side I-71 has a killer track. I have no clue who it is, but that track has been around for a while and looks awesome from the highway. I have been tempted to stop over there just to see if they would allow any riders for $$$, but I haven't yet.

[jjv101]

ive seen that track too, it does look pretty killer.

I wanted to do the same thing...maybe one of these days we should get a group of like 4 riders and go over there, if its a private track we can just pay him and keep our mouths shut haha
