Private Motocross Track in Michigan

[@kurt4507]

track looks super fun and flowy nice build dude, you fit quite a bit of track into a smaller area and did a nice job. I love that angle jump towards the back corner.

[@SteveDensmore]

I haven't ridden there in years, since they originally built it. That jump's definitely the best on that track for sure. Wish I had video of the original layout too.

[@SteveDensmore]

Thanks, Mike's an awesome rider, and his father did a great job on their track. Best part of all is that it's safe.

[@DRealDeal151]

This is one of, if not the best homemade track I've seen, very nice! And very smooth riding! :)

[@SteveDensmore]

Thanks, they've done a great job with this backyard track. Michigan's definitely one of the best places around when it comes to good MX tracks.

[@SteveDensmore]

The Barnes family definitely put together a great backyard track. That's one of their sons, Mike, riding there. One of these days I'll dust my bike off, and ride there again.

[@SteveDensmore]

I've only ridden there myself a few times, but that was years ago on my '99 YZ125. The rider in this video is the track owner's son. One of these days I'll get health insurance again, and break the bike back out. Last October I rode at a track outside of Vegas (Sandy Valley MX) for the first time in nearly a decade. Man, did it bring back memories! It reminded me why I loved motocross so much to begin with.

[@MotocrossVirgin]

A lot of great MX videos on youtube but this one is top 10 favourite for me, love it. I would love a day here on my own to practise!!!

[@virginialax03]

track seems so smooth! very well done by whoever built it

[@charliemike13]

This looks like a place I rode growing up in Athens, MI. I mean, it looks exactly like it. It was the Bartow’s off M road and we had a couple personal tracks that we rode on. We had his and I had one that the neighbor let me make on an empty field. Such great memories!

[@JackpotJunkiee]

Awesome track dude, wish i had my own one

[@SteveDensmore]

For sure, the Barnes' did an amazing job on their personal practice track! They'd be amazed by how much feedback this quick little video has gotten.

[@kulafachi9571]

all I need is a 2014 ktm 450 for the summer, and a 2014 800 arctic cat for the winter, and a nice truck to haul them with. plus a little cabin with a shit ton of property to ride on. and my life will be complete!

[@SteveDensmore]

That makes two of us! Hopefully someday I'll be able to ride out of my garage, and onto my personal track.

[@kevinokeefe7796]

How much land did this track take it looks nice

[@TheTroller9000]

Amazing track! love all the jumps ;)

[@bouttyb8347]

sick track and video man!

[@188ours]

Awesome track ! I just bought a 13 ha land, My wish is to make something as cool as this one !

[@atvrider717]

Good video are you using a Go pro camera? I like you video. My friends and I got KZbin channels and we decided to try reach out to other likeminded ATVers to see what other folks are doing.

[@SteveDensmore]

+ATV Nova Scotia - This video was shot with a Canon S100.

[@SteveDensmore]

It's actually my friend's dad's track, they built it all on their own too. I'd love to gear up, and ride out of my garage to that thing anytime I wanted!

[@joeanderson2529]

Who designed this track / what is price of it? Does your friend got an email I can contact about for info? Just bought 43 acres and looking to do something small like this one

[@Tew730]

grass roots there is nothing like having your own track especially when your friends are there having fun

[@idontknowwhatimdoing5751]

Have you got the plans for this. By the way awesome track. Liked it

[@luisluisgr94]

i love this track man! nice and easy! where is it?! i'm down from PR studying at MSU.. looking for a track to ride at sometime!

[@SteveDensmore]

It's in Horton, MI. Unfortunately it's not mine, and they usually only ride there at the beginning of the season. It's been a while since I've caught up with the owners, but I'll see what they think about having someone come ride sometime.

[@josedelatorre91]

Hey man wats shift do u have it on when ur about jump and what shift when ur going down? I just started riding my bike and im going to a track next week, just trying to get helpful advice.

[@zackhahn5622]

Mid 3rd should be your goal that's midrev 3rd gear

[@SilvanPierce]

this is the track right by hanover school isn't it? haha. I ride right down the road from here at a different track all the time

[@BrandenGPFilms]

hah i like the grass on the track it looks nice and professional.

[@SteveDensmore]

Thanks, they've put a lot of work in on it over the years.

[@Foxrider85KX]

if you sign a waver and all of that good stuff and pay would he let you ride there? i race ama and it would be nice to have a closer track to practice on during the week and such

[@SteveDensmore]

It's in the Jackson area, but the track owner is strict about who rides there for liability reasons.

[@Johndoe-sl9zm]

Sweet Track! I live by baja acres mx and michigan mafia both tracks in the area!

[@SteveDensmore]

This is actually my friend (whose dad owns the track/property). I rode a few months ago on a track for the first time again in almost 10 years. Not having health insurance kind of put a damper on my riding.

[@tmac989]

Hey bro, I live up in Midland and I'm new to motocross. Last month i got an 04 KTM 85sx and I'm looking for places to ride. It would be amazing if i could drive down and ride here.

[@skyemartinac4949]

so awesome great video

[@jameszbierski391]

awesome track mate

[@SteveDensmore]

It's in the lower peninsula, Jackson area.

[@jaykolka123]

where this at in michigan? im from michigan we should ride some time no joke!

[@ThisIsGoogle]

Stfu

[@donkeypunchracing]

ride pass this track all the time and wish i could ride there but it would take me all day to git the balls to jump that little bump lol nice rideing...

[@JustinIsJustout]

Love the video!

[@IdkIdk-nk2gv]

Awsome track!

[@connorinnes4797]

what machinery did he yous to build that and how much dirt did he need ??????

[@SteveDensmore]

He was just putting in a couple laps so I could get some footage to show a friend who planned on practicing there. He ended up prepping it, and renting a water truck a few weeks later, but my buddy backed out at the last second. I still owe him for going through all the trouble. They may eventually setup irrigation from the pond. Hard to say though, since they usually only ride there when the new season starts up.

[@roachematt1]

this is my dream track, did you employe someone to build it

[@huntersmith6031]

where is this? i might live in the area would love to come check it out if im able to!!

[@MAN80PW]

that's a good track to practice on. I don't get practice cause I aint got anywhere to ride

[@zlb4587]

I drive by this track every time i go to Jackson.

[@nicog.]

Hi. Can you share the google earth location? I would like to know the measurements to build something similar. Thanks.

[@SteveDensmore]

It's actually a friend of mine (Mike Barnes) riding at his track.

[@suzukimxpro]

i live in jackson, could i come out there and ride sometime

[@rickysloan6074]

That's sweet place guys like to get a couple hot laps out there

[@coleyguyton8277]

Nice how much money invested in it you think?

[@SteveDensmore]

+Coley Guyton - Not entirely sure. I'll ask next time I see the owners.

[@JacobRickwalt]

Where are you guys located at in Michigan?

[@SteveDensmore]

Thank you!

[@dylandevault3216]

Wheres that at I'm in Grand Rapids mi

[@SteveDensmore]

Not entirely sure; maybe five acres.

[@danielmiller7528]

Is this Hanover Ontario?

[@Lewy946]

Pass this track going to Jackson all the time gimme an invite haha

[@Strassolo]

Sick! :D so good

[@jackvanderlinden599]

good track, good rider

[@amandajordan5247]

Who made the track

[@jordanr.8918]

is this track in davison? looks just like a track i used to ride as a kid near a old gravel pit

[@SteveDensmore]

jordan r. - This one's actually in Horton, MI. I rode near the area you mentioned back in the late 90's at this badass freeride spot everyone called "Suicide Hills". My friend had a nice private track built on his parents' property in Holly, MI too.

[@jordanr.8918]

i think i know wher your talking about the suicide hills i never heard it be called that before though

[@i2driven]

+Stephen Densmore : The owners ever let anyone ride out here? I have 3 boys 6,8 & 10. They are good boys and love to ride. Just short on riding spots. We live off Horton Rd and Mapledale Rd. I am a software engineer for a company out of South Carolina and work from home. From Big Rapids and went to Ferris State. Also looking for a kids riding community or something, we are new to the area. Hollar at me if you have the time or any connections. Thanks TJ

[@ridealltime]

looks like you need a water truck haha

[@SteveDensmore]

It's a few hours from there.

[@COWM4N197]

I wish I had that track..

[@MFdh100]

How big is the field ?

[@LILTG18]

is this in da U.P

[@amorell14]

is this track anywhere near romeo???

[@1TheJimmer1]

Very cool

[@SteveDensmore]

You guessed it, haha.

[@hoochipappie75]

cool track

[@SteveDensmore]

The Jackson, Michigan area.

[@depweg1092]

Sweet track. Im in Jackson Michigan too. Ask him if he ever wants any help on maintenance I'm always down to help. In other words "will work for track time"! 3588966.

[@SteveDensmore]

That's the only downside to moto; places to ride can be limited, and paying to practice at sanctioned tracks every time gets expensive after a while.

[@YearRoundFails]

Wheres this located?

[@COWM4N197]

That's the dream I guess...

[@nickjones8111]

where dose he race at in Michigan???

[@SteveDensmore]

I'm not entirely sure how much he races anymore. I know he used to race at Log Road MX.

[@nickjones8111]

oh cool thanks man for telling me

[@nickjones8111]

nice video taking to haha forgot to tell you that

[@SteveDensmore]

Nick Jones - You're welcome, and thanks.

[@benbromley9238]

yea track is nice

[@SteveDensmore]

Unfortunately it's not my track, so I don't have any say in who rides there. They're kinda strict about it for liability purposes. Sorry, dude!

[@wolf356mx]

hey man we should ride together some time

[@SteveDensmore]

Nope, it's in Michigan.

[@idontknowwhatimdoing5751]
