Title: Anybody ever go to Lake Geneva MX?
Post by: Jeff on June 17, 2005, 08:20:31 AM
Thinking I might run down there tonight to watch the races and see if there'd be a class for my kids...

Dave, being completely new to this, I didn't know what tracks were really available for racing/riding/practice/etc.  Aztalan would be a better place to start it seems, since it's not quite as tight as Lake Geneva.  However, if they run the motocross vice stadium motocross, they have a lot more track to deal with vice the short-track full of jumps & whatnot.

I think I'll take them out for a practice and let them give it a whirl...

I was thinking dirt track at Aztalan.

I did some MX years ago to train, but it is physically more abusive to any body.

Just so you guys know, Lake Geneva and Aztaland MX are the two most dangerous places for motocross in the district 16 area......

Hey Jesse,

being a veteran who grew up doing this stuff, where should I look to start my kids in dist 16?  Mind you, they have *NEVER* raced (other than each other), but have been riding for 6 years.

as far as motocross and wanting to start off at a "beginner" track is hard to find,  usually its best to just find a friend w/ a track of build your own, there is a good safe practice track near fondulac, wi called Valley which gives practices every 2nd and 4th saturday and i believe every tuesday night for a small fee, aztaland is a pretty crazy track and normally has around 700 riders which makes the track junk pretty fast, lake geneva is really hard packed and slippery and has crazy big jumps, i'd say start off with maybe flattrack or tt racing, flattrack is at aztaland, at wa ter (beaver dam, wi), chilton - the main three.

I have my boys starting out at Valley motorsports and also the fon du lac ohv track. There are plenty of small cc young kids and also some of us not so young kids. Valley now has 2 tracks so as far as the crowd....there is none :)
