Track Spotlight: Creekside MX
A fun motocross track to ride on is Creekside MX. This track is located in West Newton, PA, and is one of the closest tracks located in this area. The facility is only a practice track for riders who want to take a day and ride instead of race. This track is equipped for every skill of rider. The obstacles vary because of the different lanes. The owner of the track wants to keep it fun and exciting for everyone.
To ride at Creekside it cost $30.00 on the first day because a membership is required. Every visit after cost $25.00 and that is good for the entire year. Right now because of school, the track is only open on weekends, but when summer comes, it is open seven days a week. The hours are 10:00-4:00 and it opens this Saturday, March 26, 2016.
Creekside is one of my most favorite tracks because of how close it is to home. It is easy to get to and is a great track to get practice on. They have a kid’s track and an adult track. This is an advantage for kids because of the big bikes that ride on it. Kids are still aloud to ride on it, but it can get crowded. I love the different obstacles that are set up for every skill of rider. If I do not feel comfortable jumping one section then I have an option on the side. This year the track will be changed up so I am excited to ride on something new.
Overall Creekside MX is a fun track for everyone. No races occur at this track, so if there is ever a free day it is perfect for something to do. Everyone who goes to this track enjoys it, especially me. It brings me out of my comfort zone and makes me try new things.
