Where is the biggest and best sand pits in NH or MA?

 

I know that there are some great pits located in Templeton, MA as well as Clinton, MA. I really have only been to Templeton once and there were many people there riding. Also some really large hill shoots there as well....

 

I heard about that place in Templeton.
What is it near (landmarks)?

Better yet, where can you load and unload from.

 

Actually I just heard last weekend that the pits there have been closed. The guy said that it is a $1000 fine if caught riding there, so there is no good place to unload. Just one more riding area being closed

 

WOW!

 

I have been to Clinton once. It was last year.

While I may have expected more, the place was alright. I am not sure if it is "legal" to ride there, but a few friends of mine ride there quite often.

I have heard about DEP out there, but the people were registered for Mass trails, so they did not bother them. Just checked the paperwork.

At Clinton, there is a smalll track, no jumps, but a lot of whoops from the bikes. In the back pits, there are more jumps. Some of them are pretty big.

I am from CT, and there is a sand pits right behind my house. People would be there all weekend long, but this past year, the owner brought the police a quad and they are kicking everyone out.

Good luck finding "legal" sand here in New England.

You can always race at Southwick. We ahve a race there in Aug. 27th. It is a pure sand track, and the same one that the national bikes use.

This weekeend I am heading out to EBMX in Eagle Bridge NY. They have two tracks there. While it is a pretty good practice track, they are new, and constantly getting better. Plus they are the only track I know of that allows quad to practice.

Up in NH, there is Jolly Roger in Lempster. We have a race there next weekend. Aug 6th I think.

If you want more info, let me know.

 

I found one small sand area off of the main trail in Sandown NH.

Is the place in Templeton still off limits?
