Hey mate, the easiest track to ride and learn at Gap Creek for adults I would say is the VMX track (across the highway from the office). That is the track I'm on in the first 52 seconds of this video, then from 2:30 to 5:40 is that same track again. I believe the pit bike track is limited to maximum 230cc (maybe less?). You can certainly ride the VMX track at a slower pace - without getting air off the jumps etc. The faster riders will usually leave space and make their way around you.
@@LeslieDemeter hey dude thanks for the reply. Yeah cool that track looks awesome. So I won't be pissing other riders off if I'm a newbie and taking the track slow? I wouldn't be going in peak season over the holidays, only on a normal weekend or Friday.
@@jonzx6145 The most annoying thing you could do is pin the throttle on the straight when a faster rider is trying to overtake. Just be self-aware, stick to one side of the track when someone is approaching from behind (be predictable) and let the faster riders pass. Once they're clear, you can do as you please. Go as fast or slow as you want. When I let riders pass, I will usually move to one side of the track and point to the side that I want the rider behind to pass on. Do this if/when you feel comfortable riding with one hand. You'll get a hang of mx track "etiquette" after a couple of outings. If there is heaps of people on the track, you can just rest near the track entrance and wait till the faster people tire themselves out and leave to rest. Oh, and go slow (walking pace) through the tunnel under the highway at Gap Creek. I unfortunately caused a rider to stack it there and it was 100% my fault. I came through the tunnel too fast and he had no time to react when he saw me pop out. He locked his front brake and washed out.
Using a GoPro Hero 11 with a foam wind cover (I think I had the cover off for a part of this vid). I haven't had any overheating issues with it - the GoPro's are a bit notorious for it. I only record 30fps 1440p.
I usually ride about once every three weeks. I sometimes go to QMP, but mostly Gap Creek. I also go to as many RTCB trail rides as I can. I'll most likely be at Gap Creek tomorrow. I park at the day use area at the back next to the pitbike track, come say hi if you like and we can do some laps!
Do you have any vids of the easiest beginner tracks for adults to ride and learn?

Hey, mind telling me what camera you're using?

How often do you go out there
