Any MX area's near Philly?

Hi Everyone!

I've always had trouble finding places to ride. I usually just ride trails, but I went to Breezewood Proving Grounds on July 2nd and 3rd, and now I'm absolutely addicted to the MX track and jumps.
I live in Bucks County PA, near Philadelphia. It takes me over 3 hours to get to Breezewood with a trailer. Does anyone know a place with good jumps or a track that is closer? Thanks a lot!

I don't know if it would be closer for you, but there is MX573 in Montrose, Pa. It is about 30 min outside of Clarks Summit. Thats is at the end of the North East extension. I go there quite alot and it is a nice place to ride. The only other place that might be closer is Irish Valley MX park. That is in Paxinos, Pa. But I prefer MX573, track is more suited for quads in my opinion. Plus it doesn't get as crowded. I might be going up there this weekend. So if you decide to go hit me up.

Thanks man, I will definitely look into those places. I don't know about this weekend, but if I do decide to go I'll let you know! Thanks again!

Was at MX573 on saturday. It was great as usual. A little dusty, but had a good time. Took my goddaughter with me and cut her loose on the pee-wee track with her quad I bought for her birthday. She had a great time- she slept all the way home. HAHA. If any of you guys are going up in a couple weeks give me a shout. I would love to have someone else to ride with.

dont forget about blue diamond, in DE. its about an hour ride from philly. I am going down there tomorrow, i will let you know how it is.

Posted by: rappin_ernie

Yea, can you let me know how it is? I heard about it from someone else, and they said it varies depending if the track was groomed or not, and they are always switching up the track. Hope it's nice!

He's talkin about Blue Diamond

Posted by: Crazy lil punk

went to blue diamond today. its SUPER hard packed, no pro track, no BPG, but its a nice little practice track. 2 monster jumps that took me like all day to nail. a couple small fun jumps, some off camber turns. Little step up/over. Decent little practice track, i will be back forsure! They also have plans to build a better quad track. Its about an hour from philly, almost an hour exactly.

Bro, there is nothing nice about kensington at all. Its all crack heads, whores, and dealers. If you wanna experience the ghetto go on down around 11pm and on.. BTW. Huevos7 did some shooting down in that area too !. (film shooting).

I grew up in Olney (2nd & Champlost), i know what kenso is about. Im sure there are good hard working families still living there. Neighborhoods go down when all the money moves to the burbs!

Yeah BD MX keeps talking about a good quad track. They said they were going to move it to where the bikes ride or close to it. It would be great if they did it. Many guys in the Philadelphia suburbs would show up as well as Delaware riders. I've spoken to these guys, but everyone has gotten discouraged. It's close, easy to get to, price is fair. I only went (2x) in 2009, but if they make a good quad track this winter my son & I will be there at least (10X) in 2010. Call them and urge them to build it.
