Where to Ride Dirt Bikes in the UK, Scotland, and Ireland

You want to know where to ride in the Uk, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland? You’ve got quite a few million people squirming around over there so this is not going to be an easy task. There’s a load of motocross tracks and bike parks that need to be listed here! But with your help, I think we can get this ball rolling…

Apparently, motocross began in its earliest form, from the British sport called scrambles way back in the medieval times of around 1924. You crazy British Geezers used to race barely-modified road bikes off road. It wasn’t until around the 60’s and 70’s that the sport really began to take off in other countries like the States. And the rest is history…
