Soil when dry

Dry sand gets deep and physical - the front wants to knife in; traction comes from throttle and the rear suspension.

Soil after rain

Damp sand hooks up and gets faster - more grip, but heavier, blunt braking zones.

Setup tendencyHarder against bottomingMore stableMore traction

Wide Open MX Park sits on Chisolm Road in Raeford, North Carolina. The track directory MX Track Guide lists it as open daily - Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm - and quotes 25 dollars for members and 30 dollars for non-members on the main track, 15 and 20 dollars respectively on the peewee track, and 5 dollars for annual membership. Alongside the motocross and peewee tracks it records concessions, a playground and camping, with both open practice and racing permitted. A second directory puts the main track at 1.8 miles, names former operator Dana Pelletier, who gave training by appointment, and at the same time records that the facility was sold in 2019 and has since run as Dreamville MX. Our record holds sand as the surface, with a jump-heavy, fast character - ground that costs energy and forgives little once the rear starts pogoing. The decisive point here, though, is the operator situation: the opening hours and prices come from directory entries that outlived the change of ownership, and the former operator website is no longer reachable. Call the number listed in the directory before you set off and have the opening times, the price and the current name of the venue confirmed.

What to expect

Typical setup problem
Rebound is too fast for sand - slow it down (fewer clicks) so the rear stops pogoing.

In sand, the throttle is your suspension Go to the technique guide →
