New member from Northwest Arkansas

Hello everyone. I'm a CRF450 rider from Northwest Arkansas. I've been riding for about 15 years and have ridden 2-strokes during most of that time. I now have my first 4-stroke and am slowly adjusting. Well, I look forward to meeting you all and good riding!

I'm surprised Macho even gave you a welcome seeing as how you are on a Honda.
Welcome aboard!

Hi! I generally do most of my riding around the house, but I do sometimes venture to the woods or the track. I used to ride at Sugar Creek until they closed down, and I have yet to make it to the track over at Watts. I ride the trails at white rock from time to time. How about you guys? I'll post some pics of the bike soon, as I currently have it torn apart battling several little problems that I always seem to be nearly to the end of. Maybe I should switch to a Yamaha? Ha Ha!

watts has a nice track. I use to ride white rock a lot but haven't been there in a while. centerton is a waste of time. a friend of mine is building a track in washburn, ok-thats a constant battle

this pic is me at watts last year. i live in ne okla and often ride at watts and at ascot near dora/ft. smith. i used to ride at the track at praire grove when they were still racing. i rode at whiterock once and didn't like it. i never did make it to sugar creek.

I haven't been to Dora in years. I also used to ride at Prairie Grove but I don't think I ever actually ran a race there. We'd mostly just pay the old guy that lived by the track and ride around until we ran out of gas. I also rode at Barling when they ran a track down by the Arkansas river. From the picture it looks like Watts has some pretty good dirt. When do they run open practice? Is Dora still pretty flat?

[Jay547]

i think watts has open practice just about every day and organized/prepped practice on thursday nights. check it here: rivervalleymx.com.

dora has just about the best dirt ever. i'm running their yz thunder series. i like their layout alot. it's a fun yet safe track. my next race there is sept. 15th. ascotparkmx.com

i raced at barling one time. it rained the whole day. it was not a pleasant experience.
