| New MN(metro) track Hey guys, I wanted to let everyone know that we got the track built on saturday. We ended up only having one bobcat and miniracer88 put in a very long day building the track. Thanks again!!! We have some fine tuning to do and there is plenty of room to expand if we want. Our idea was to get something ridable and go from there. We are in need of a bobcat with tracks to do some packing. If you have or know of where we can get one please let me know. Hope to see everyone come out and check it out. thanks ryan Located off hwy 10 and armstrong blvd in ramsey, mn |

| Re: New MN(metro) track we used a lawn mower to pack our track. it works great cause you can really regulate how much you pack. |

| Re: New MN(metro) track the problem is we need to spread some clay/black dirt and its hard to do without tracks. We did two berms with the bobcat and it took forever. I will try and get some pics posted. My buddy took them and he needs to email them to me. |

| Re: New MN(metro) track It would be ok right now, but we got 14 loads of clay/black dirt to spread out and mix in. Once we get it done, it will be perfect for any size bike. We are building it for any size bike or skill level. It nice because if you want to go build you can or if not you will still have fun. I am just lining up a bobcat with tracks and someone to drive it to put the finishing touches on the track. |

| Re: New MN(metro) track Here are the pics-- Pit Bike track 1.jpg Pit bike track 2.jpg Pti bike track 3.jpg we are going to add some whoops and a few more jumps. Like i said before, if we can get some guys using it, there is plenty of room to make it much bigger. |

| Re: New MN(metro) track Thanks guys, I have rode a few laps and its a blast. We are planning on adding to the track but with only one bobcat the day we built it, we started to run out of time. Northside Sports Park Paintball Speedball, Rec Ball, Minnesota, Ramsey, RC Cars for directions. Also, i dont know the price to ride, but call and ask for vincent. There is a parking lot right behind where i took the pics from. let me know if anyone is planning on going up to ride as i live really close and would love to meet up and turn some more laps. |

| Re: New MN(metro) track I went riding last night. The track is a ton of fun. Only thing that could have made it better is if someone was there to bang bars with. Also the fee is $25 and you can ride all day long. Give me a call if you are going to head up there. 612-720-4211 |

| Re: New MN(metro) track No, actually it will be either next Tuesday or Wednesday, not this week at all. I will call Vince later in the week and see if I can try to ride earlier if possible, I'm a morning guy! |
