Wel since moving down from Darwin to Melbourne theres very few places to ride without upsetting the Coppers (police), so i have had to join a local MX club so as to use the track.
So ive joind the Bacchus Marsh MX-track $300.00 for the yr, any day of the week & under lights so many times a mth ( i think ).... its awesome, since ive decided to race VMX i needed to sharpen up my MX skills ( what skills )
the jumps are faily flat faced so you get big air, but riding an 80's 500 with standard suspension is a challenge any way.
We'd fly like eagles & land like chickens ( my mate Frank & i that is )
I'd say its a high level track for strong B grade to A grade riders if you want to get around it fast. ( so what am i doing there )
I was on my 87 KX500 were I jumped long landing & blowing the top of the burm with my front wheel having the conventional forks below the axel dig in & send me over, i hung on but not good enough im afraid, tweaked my thumb & that payed the end of my day
...... we played with the clickers & sag (rear only) but i couldnt realy enjoy it because of the thumb,i had the thing set far better then i had started with on arriving ( thanks to those VMX guys for your imput )
My AF (ex poolmasters), has reoccuring rear brake issues ....... they fail

Hi asteroid I am a warrnambool boy now based in darwin. I rode the baccus marsh track many years ago and had a blast there. Shame your still not up here we could have had a great deal of fun, the cops are not as strict up here as long as you do mostly the right thing LOL Hope you heal up quick and good luck down there.
