Atco friday?

[flyboy62]

who is going to be there. i will, it will be my first time at the track

[d3ktrix]

Don't get ur hopes up about that place :P

[dehner47]

^^^ and why you say that??

[deathman53]

yeah, why??? It isn't the best in the world. Its always changing, never the same as the last time, challenging, takes some skill to ride it and moves fast for such a small track. If you are newbie at mx or have a very poorly setup bike, you will hate it.

the new layout is super easy and boring. i hate the sessions you get no ride time. And by end of the night that place is trashed.

[deathman53]

I haven't been there in almost 2 months. the new setup isn't near as nice as it was in 08, in 07 and 05, I really liked it. I don't think I went there at all in 06, I didn't have a quad then, only trikes.

track completely sucks this year, like everyone said, it takes no skill to ride, biggest jump is like 30 feet, everything just sucks about it now, the only thing i liked was how rough it got just for practicing it was nice. its a place to ride but thats about it

[d3ktrix]

Ok I'll back up my bashing I guess.
Like said above all the jumps on the new layout are SUPER SMALL, everything is so tight and crammed ur lucky if u get mid way through 3rd gear.
The first time I pulling into the parking lot after they changed the lay out I saw $20k quads hitting 10ft long table tops unable to get any decent speed, I knew it was going to be bad.

A lot of times they don't even give the track a fresh grooming for the day.

And like Ridetrp said with the split sessions u spent more time sitting around in the pits then you do riding.

Before they changed the layout I enjoyed riding there a lot, I was actually able to open the bike up and get some decent air, there was a lot of fun jumps. Now with the new layout it feels more like I should be on a pit bike then a 450.

Atco is 40min from me, Breezewood is 4 hours from me. This year I've gone to
Breezewood 5 times and Atco once :P
I really miss riding English Town lol.

its called supercross bro. not suppose to be wide open. sx is tight, jump after jump, turn after turn. not saying the jumps are the best in the country. but its supercross. ya gotta have rythem and style in order to run it fast.

but doi agaree with ya on breezewood. breezewood is off the hook. but again. thats MX on huge property. not sx in a lil area at a drag strip.

and yes your right. motocross should look like that. atco not motocross. its is supercross.

if you not a fan of tight close racing with no time to relax, then you def be disappointed at a AMA supercross race :devil:

Atco is more supercross. but last year set up you could acutely hit 4th pinned here and there. and acutely have to pinn it to make some of the jumps. They are in a tight area but they have had awesome layouts past few years.

i dont know what you guys are complaining about, its a decent legal place to ride. just be happy you are riding. personally i loved it, that track got super rough and the jumps were not that hard but they were fun. i like the small more tech. tracks
