Soil when dry

Dry loam is the ideal case: grippy, forms lines and forgives mistakes.

Soil after rain

After rain loam turns heavy and sticky - knobs pack up and the bike feels noticeably heavier.

Sherwood MX sits at 1000 Trammel Road in Sherwood, Arkansas, in the centre of the state and only a few minutes off Highway 67/167. The directory MX Track Guide lists the lap at one mile and describes it as a mix of rhythm sections, tabletops, a step-up, a bowl corner, a sandy stretch and a long straightaway. The same source says the facility runs both day and night racing, and that practice riding is possible alongside the race programme. Who operates the place, which weekdays are open for practice and what a riding day costs are not publicly documented. The dirt is described as deep-disked loamy ground: the corners build pronounced ruts, bumps grow in front of the braking points, and the track gets noticeably rougher towards the end of a riding day. Those ruts are where your lap is decided. If the front knifes and pulls you over the edge of a rut, top of our cause list is a fork that is too soft: it rides too low in its stroke and folds into the rut. Add a few clicks of front compression before you start doubting your line choice.
