At MX Track Builders, we design and build motocross tracks that balance creativity, functionality, and performance. Our process is built on thorough planning and close collaboration from site evaluation through final design and construction. Below is an overview of our process so you know what to expect at each stage.
Remote Site Review
Before conducting an on-site assessment, we begin with a remote site review to gather key insights about your property. This step allows us to evaluate potential opportunities and challenges early in the process, ensuring a more efficient and informed approach to your project. We provide this review at no cost as part of our commitment to delivering exceptional service.
This review helps us determine feasibility, refine our approach, and prepare for the next step—the on-site assessment, where we conduct a detailed evaluation of your property.
Our Remote Site Review Includes:
Site Photo Evaluation: Reviewing provided photos to assess terrain, vegetation, and existing site conditions.
Satellite Imagery Analysis: Utilizing satellite data to examine land layout, elevation changes, and potential constraints.
Soil Mapping: Identifying soil types and conditions to determine their suitability for track construction.
On-Site Assessment
Our on-site assessment includes a detailed evaluation of the proposed track location. We assess key factors such as topography, soil conditions, drainage, and overall site suitability to support a safe, functional track. We also identify natural features that can be incorporated into the design and address potential challenges early, laying the groundwork for an efficient and successful build.
Assessment May Include
Consultation
Understand the overall vision for the track
Identify desired features and layout preferences
Assess rider skill levels and any specific requirements
Topography & Terrain Analysis
Evaluate natural slopes and gradients to identify optimal areas for jumps, berms, and straightaways
Leverage existing land contours to minimize the need for extensive earthmoving
Permits & Land Use Considerations
Address potential project impacts on the surrounding area, including noise, dust, and environmental factors
Determine if professional engineering support is needed to navigate zoning restrictions, environmental regulations, and permitting requirements early in the process
Vegetation Assessment
Assess existing vegetation coverage and density
Determine the extent of clearing required to prepare the site
Soil Analysis
Identify and mark existing underground utilities prior to excavation
Excavate test pits to evaluate soil conditions, determine suitability for track construction, and assess the need for soil amendments
Identify potential subsurface challenges such as groundwater or rock
Drainage Planning
Evaluate existing drainage patterns
Identify areas requiring additional drainage solutions to prevent water accumulation and erosion
Surveying & Data Collection
Mark the proposed track alignment and collect georeferenced data using precision GPS equipment to support accurate layout and site-specific design.
Site Access Review
Determine safe and efficient access routes for heavy equipment and material deliveries.
Key Benefits of a Site Assessment
Identify potential challenges early, reducing costly surprises later
Optimized track design that complements the site’s natural features
Accurate cost estimates tailored to the site’s specific condition
