Is there anyone in Corpus Christi who knows of some good places to ride around here?
Are there any tracks in town?
I'm near Padre Island.

Thanks

PS. Why did the admin set the forum to allow everyone access member IP addresses?

What type of riding? There are a few MX tracks just outside the city limits of CC and then there is Holeshot oustide of Goliad which also has trails. Here are their links.

DDMX near Alice

Holeshot near Goliad

Xtreme near Bishop

The other track is C&R MX near the community of Clarkwood just off HWY 44 out past the airport

Great info, thanks Dave.
In the future we should set up some sort of meet for Corpus Christi MX riders only.

I am new to the playing in the sand. Is there any tracks or courses in the Corpus Christi area for Sand Rails to play??

Not legally. I haven’t seen sand rails or for that matter any kind of non registered - non street legal vehicle of any kind on the beaches down here since the mid – seventies. The only four wheelers allowed are the Feds when they cruise the beach counting turtles. Have you checked out West Texas Baja.

We are having our local races at Los Fresnos which is about 100 miles south of Corpus. You can bring your bike and watch the races for $5 and then after the races are over at around three you can ride the rest of the day. Good deal for $5. Here is our schedule and we have a great track.

Dave, I picked up my KX500 since my last post and I'm trying to figure out which track I should go to.
Extreme MX seems like it might be the closest, what do you think?
Can you give my directions a quick read and see if they are fairly accurate?
I did some web searches and browsed MapQuest to piece together the information below.

These directions should be good for anyone coming from Corpus Christi.

Except for the Xtreme MX website, word of mouth and through forums like this one seems to be about the only way to get info for these tracks. Will you be riding these tracks this weekend?

Your directions look good. Xtreme is the closest, (I recall you live on the island) for you. Yeah, DDMX can be a little trouble to find the first time out. Hopefully, it won't be too wet over the long weekend. I heard Alice got hammered. I plan on calling Xtreme Saturday to see what's up.


Did you check this site. Locals visit it.

This place is outside of Goliad. The dirt is awesome compared to our black gumbo.

Later

Dave, DDMX is OPEN TODAY (friday) and I'm leaving to head out there in a few hours.
If you are up for some riding the day after turkey day come on out!
I should be the only guy out there on a KX500, and hopefully I won't be riding like a newbie even though I've only had the bike a few days.
I sure hope I'm not the only one out there!!

Went to DDMX yesterday, met Gene, rode for 3 or 4 hours. It's a good fun track and there's something for all skill levels. It costs $5 to ride on the regular track or $10 for the Supercross track.
The directions I posted were easy to get lost with, so here are some revised directions:
