Default Anybody around NW Arkansas?

Just trying to find some people to ride with. Im in Jonesboro AR. My buddy and I built a small track out at his land. Has a 30ft double for now, some whoops, and little things. Were making it bigger as time goes by. We have a front end loader that does all the work. Hit me up and come ride with us sometime. Or if you know of a place we could ride at. text me 870-926-6398

Hey, I'm over in the Memphis area. Sounds like you are building a sweet track to ride on. I'm up for riding with you guys sometime soon! Text me the next time you're planning on going - 765-404-5375.

Have you ever ridden at Craighead Forest in Jonesboro or Sugar Creek Trails in Drummonds, TN (just north of Memphis)? I've been wanting to check both of them out but haven't really found anyone around here to ride with yet.

As far as other places to ride, have you been to Trace State Park in MS or Land Between the Lakes? Both are really good places for trail riding.

sweet man! memphis is a 45min drive from Jonesboro. Yea our track is pretty fun. Were trying to expand it into the woods.

And yes i live about 2 miles from craighead forest. it has a whole lot of trails with creek crossings and woods, but thats about it. half dirt bike and half atv. One hill climb section that I would give a 4/10 for. I dont like mud, so its hard to go out there and ride for me. But it does have a big open field that you can mess around in.

I think Ive rode out there at the sugar creek trails, but I was in a lifted jeep. It was pretty fun looking. We never dipped off in any heavy trails though. Are there jumps out there? or hill climbs?

And yes I have been to land between the lakes. But again, we were in our jeeps instead haha. It has some pretty good hills but its a 4hr drive for me. I always take my jeep to Super Lift ORV Park in Hot Springs. It is one of the top places to 4wheel at in the country. Im taking my yfz there in February.

I don't like riding in mud either...hence why there's no one to ride with! Everyone around here loves riding their utility quads in the mud with a beer in hand. No thanks!

I haven't ridden at the Sugar Creek trails yet, but I've driven by it and it looks like there are some decent hill climbs. At one time, they had both a freestyle ramp and a makeshift mx track, but I'm not sure they're still there.

I've been wondering about riding sport quads at Superlift. It seems like an awesome place from the pictures I've seen, but my wife and I haven't gone there yet since I wasn't sure if it would be too rocky/technical for our quads. I'm down for riding there with you guys, too!

hah! i know exactly what you're talking about.

yea i just looked up videos. seems like a cool place to go. Im all about some hill climbs and jumps. We should meet up there sometime

Superlift IS pretty rocky. I just thought about it and it may chew the heck out of some mx tires like ours. Ill still take mine anyways and if it doesnt work out ill just get in the jeep haha.

Im from Cabot, ab 20 mins NE of little rock... Were in the processes of building a private track now. Ive got one buddy i ride/race with all the time, n a couple others that just ride..
We ride at Hwy 89 (between cabot and conway), but its not that great. The track isnt prepped to often and dusty, and the trails are super rutted n stuff.
Weve been up to sundance mx ( a little west of Russelville). Its a pretty fun track. Dirt is almost like sand, a little different.
Also Ascot mx which is right out of Ft. Smith. Track has been mint ever time! Its a really fun track. changed up every couple months..

Both of those tracks r kinda a drive for yall. Theres Cleburne County Mx Which is in Heber Springs. Its ok, always the same tho. But its only like 45 mins from us.

Maybe we can make it up there n ride sometime or vice versa man! Always looking for riding buddies..

We're from the MS delta but we ride alot in TN. We've been to Sugar Creek and its a pretty good place for trail riding and Hill climbs! The freestyle ramp was SKETCHY and the mx track they have is not kept up very well. It was grown up and rutted pretty bad the last time we was there. The trails however are alot of fun and they have some of the best hill climbs around.
TN has ALOT of mx tracks. There's several in close driving distance of Memphis. If any of you guys want to hit up an mx track, there's several of us down here that are always up for a drive. We usually rent Dryhill a few times a year up in Ripley TN.
