Millcreek Motocross Park

Millcreek Motocross Park sits on Roberts Mill Pond Road in Pell City, Alabama, on a 135-acre site; the MX Track Guide describes the surroundings as hardwoods, pines, creeks and rolling hills. The directory riderplanet-usa lists four courses: a 1.7-mile main track plus a supercross track, a grand-prix style track and a pee-wee track, all groomed and maintained. The ground lies between 500 and 550 feet above sea level. Riding is listed at 25 dollars per rider, with no separate entry or parking charge. On site there are hot showers, a concession stand, potable water, RV hookups and a primitive campground. Fixed practice times are not publicly documented - the source points at the operator's own calendar, so check or call before you drive out. The soil is almost entirely loose dirt with well-formed berms; hard pack, rocks and dust are untypical, and sand and mud barely feature. On top of that come many small jumps and a few large ones, which is what makes the place interesting for more experienced riders. That is exactly where the setup is decided: if the rear kicks on the take-off face and the bike bucks upward instead of leaving cleanly, top of our cause list is rebound returning too fast at the rear. Slow it down - fewer clicks out - so the face stops launching the rear.
