A couple of friends and I are going to big rock this weekend and want to know what all they have? Do they have mx tracks, i have been to the web site and it's a little vague. All replys are appreciated,thanks! I read its especially hard on the tires let me know what you think!

 

Expect rocks.....I mean its a mountain. There are mudpits. Also a hill called the Widow Maker. I suggest a try at that hill. Plenty of rolling hills lots of open area . But don't get me wrong there are alot of hanging off the side of the mountain technical trails. Good luck on your trip and have fun.

 

hey, well i'm only about 20 minutes from big rock and whenever i aint got no else to go thats where i go, there are plenty of trails to keep you busy for hours, there are a couple sets of jumps and there are plenty of fields if your someone who likes to ride wheelies and just see what your bike has.

 

I went there a few months ago. As far as being hard on the tires, I ended up with 2 flats by the end of the day. Although I wouldn't exactly call them "mountains", there are lots of very steep and slick hills, rocky trails. You can ride for several hours without ever covering the same trail twice. There are lots of muddy areas to mess around in and there are also field where you can get some speed. The "mud" was interesting for me because we really don't have much mud out here in Wyoming and Colorado where I usually ride.

My brother ended up getting "stranded" halfway up an extremely steep hill on his 250R, I had to rescue him with the Winch on my Honda Recon, it took us about 45 minutes to get him out. The hill was so steep that you couldn't even stand up. It was too dangerous and probably impossible to turn him around. So we secured my recon to a tree with a rope then lowered it down until the winch could reach the 250R. We winched him up about 150 feet to a point where the hill was less steep and he could finally ride it on up.

But anyway, it is lots of fun. Happy trails.

 

Alien 01--- Big Rock has it all to keep you entertained for a day, anyhow.
I THINK that they have a MX course, but it may be 2 wheels only. Their website should tell you. I ride the foothills of the Appalachian Mtns. all the time, so, I find the hills at B.R. are challenging, but far from IMPOSSIBLE. There are a few cool technical woods trails that I appreciate. There is a power line right-of-way trail that you can open up your EX on. That'll be fun. There is also LOTS of open stuff to go fast on. Theres also some mud, not a lot....but some. Enjoy the ride!

 

I have heard alot about the widow,can't wait to see what it's got.Thanks for the replies and if you get time stop bye and look for the Indiana boys.

 

Don't know about the "widow-maker" hill... probably climbed it, and never knew its name! You want to climb "hills" go to the Hatfield/McCoy trails in Logan W.Va. THOSE are hills !!!!!! Some of the most awesome riding in the eastern U.S., trust me.

 

We hope to make it down to the hatfieldmccoy trails i've heard they are awesome.I think I read you can choose different trails for different degrees of riding or about whatever you crave. Anyway sound like an awesome place-just wish they had camping!

 

Alien--- They have TONS of camping at Hat/McCoy. NOT ON the trails, but very near the trailheads. When you get ready to go, find <www.trailsheaven.com>...... THIS is the H/M site!!!!

 

Thanks trx450 that made my day. Looks like next years first trip just may have to be there.Sounds like a good weeks vac. for nothin but riding.
