Near Ringwood. Its dirt track, no tarmac. The surface was sandy/gravel, or mud. Not grass, or any kind of hard surfaces, like most MX tracks in this area are. It was a challenging track to ride, but usually enjoyed by the riders. Many UK GP level riders thought it was close to the sandy track surface types they had to use abroad. Devastating loss to the sport, losing this track, cannot believe the sport let Matchams close.

has it been closed?? is there like a begginer track or was that it?

All off road biking related activity ceased many months ago. The tarmacked mini bike/karting track is still going strong, and Ringwood Raceway still operates. I have been told the MX track in the video has fallen in to very bad disrepair. There was a smaller, easier track, and a wooded area, both also closed.
The SSSI for the rare lizards may be in jeopardy too. They are only there because of the motorcross track that has created a large sandy area for them to live in. No track = no lizards.

I can but hope that reason will prevail. I'm not the only one associated with the track who miss it being there.
