| How much land is needed
to make a decent enough sized minibike track? It might also be ridden occasionally by a full sized bike.

My Mood: | Re: How much land is needed
you'd like some straights 150-200 feet long to stretch your throttle cable, plus some nice twisties. Jumps sprinkled everywhere and burmed up corners. an acre is 208.7 x 208.7 feet. You can do a lot with an acre, but 2 would be better. More land would mean a buffer from neighbors also. Trees, bushes and hills between you and them are the best. So 20 wooded acres with the track in the middle would be sweet. Start with a rough layout, then don't be afraid to abandone some and add new. Grass grows back fast. Have fun!! |

| Re: How much land is needed
Nice one, thanks very much for the replies people. Much appreciated. For some reason, when I think about minibiking, I consider it more about having fun in wooded areas and zooming along through the trees as opposed to riding on a proper track. Don't ask me why I think this. lol There isn't a set amount of land I have at the min, because I'm planning on building the track at a holiday home (in portugal) when it gets bought. But I'm making sure my folks buy a place with enough land for the track. So thanks to your replies I can show them all the properties with the most amount of land. |

That's the great thing about pitbikes. You don't need much space to throw up a good track.

I built a track in my backyard. Search the Roost area for a thread called "Night Sesh at F-Town" and there are some action pics there. But heres an old overview pic of my whole track when it was a little grown up so you get the idea of how much space. ![]() |
