Title: Croom price going up? Post by: susieblazer on June 02, 2008, 11:31:41 PM anyone know if the price is going up in July to re register?
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: TRX450R_Racer on June 03, 2008, 08:22:39 AM I'm not 100% but I think it is going to be $70. :o :o :o >:( >:( >:( :'( :'( :'(
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: KD 428 on June 03, 2008, 08:24:52 AM IMO That is still a steal to ride there for a whole year.
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: zman03 on June 03, 2008, 10:16:16 AM this place should have a different price for those people like me that only go 2 or 3 times a year. for those people who live close by its a bargain but I drive 300 miles to get there and 70$ for once or twice a year is steep. dont get me wrong croom to me is paradise
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: KD 428 on June 03, 2008, 03:03:12 PM I live in South Florida and I think its still a deal
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: radyray916 on June 03, 2008, 06:59:12 PM i know for a fact that the camping fees will go up just a few $ still a good deal ..

Post by: FishaHallic on June 03, 2008, 10:57:51 PM I have been going to Croom for over 30 yrs and I have never ever seen any improvements to the place. It is exactly as it was 30 yrs ago but with a lot more trails and those trails are a lot more whooped out.

Post by: FishaHallic on June 04, 2008, 02:03:54 AM True, they did put up a fence to keep you off the roads but I don't see that as a real improvement.
Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: 1FasterBlaster on June 04, 2008, 06:58:46 AM It sucks when your limited on places to ride and don't really have a choice. It's still a fair deal to pay, but if the price goes up, then they should have more responsibility to maintaining it.

Post by: shogun323 on June 04, 2008, 08:18:58 AM Just makes the Motoplex that much more appealing. Does Paul pay people to say Motoplex on the boards? Don't get me wrong, I want to get up there one weekend and I am sure it's a great place to ride. It just seems bizarre. A few posters here seem to be dropping the name Motoplex so much that it reminds me of watching a Sprint Cup Race and hearing about Sunoco fuel. Title: Re: Croom price going up?

A few posters here seem to be dropping the name Motoplex so much that it reminds me of watching a Sprint Cup Race and hearing about Sunoco fuel. I have been riding Croom since the mid 80's. Trust me the only thing they changed was added a fence to keep idiots from getting killed on the road. That fence cost me an axle on my old 250r, it jumped right out in front of my LR tire. ;) However I can assure the trails have never been groomed not once. The sandpit is getting flatter every year as well. I am sure somone has old pics of that pit when it was really awesome. Oh wait they did add a helipad & a bathroom out front, we are definitley getting our moneys worth. I started riding there when it was under $20 for the year. I can assure you that Paul has spent more on Plex improvements this year than Croom has & they are supported by our tax dollars where he supports it from his bank acct. Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: 1FasterBlaster on June 04, 2008, 10:44:00 AM Croom is closer, but riding sucks. Motoplex is nice, but smaller and farther away. I would go to Croom just for the day; the Motoplex for a weekend. Especially since he's improving it.
If he keeps getting land and makes the trails bigger, and adds more ammenities, it will be a great place. When your on a low budget like I am, Croom unfortunately is on my list first. You definately feel more of familiararity at the Plex, and I like that!! Wish we had more group riding enthusiast here like we use to. Title: Re: Croom price going up?

We mention the MOTOPLEX because it is the only place that anyone can ride at a very reasonable price in the whole state of Florida. The MOTOPLEX is the only place out there that is for US and YOU! The MOTOPLEX is the only place that listens to US and YOU. I am proud to mention the MOTOPLEX because I think it represents US, ME & YOU. He doesn't need to pay anyone because any one that rides there is like family (US, YOU, ME). I honestly don't think has has any motives other than providing a place for us to ride without a bunch of stupid restrictions and costing a butload of $$$. How much does a Sprint Cup race to get into? A lot more than the MOTOPLEX I'm sure. Why don't you ask your question about the other riding places in Florida? I don't think they are paying for advertisement here either. This is a forum where people talk about riding places and because it is the hottest thing out there it shows up in a lot of threads for that reason. If we all stood together instead of mistrusting one another we could have a lot more riding places. Come up there and ride and I bet you'll be advertising for the MOTOPLEX for FREE to!

Easy there pal!!! No need to get all wound up. I am not bashing the Plex at all. Obviously my comparison of name dropping the Plex being similar to hearing Sunoco in a Nascar event went right over your head. As I mentioned I would love to get up there. I was simply pointing out the over abundance of name dropping. Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: KD 428 on June 04, 2008, 11:10:42 AM Croom is closer, but riding sucks.

It's because they ride slower than us and can't skip accross the top of them. They like mud and smooth trails. Title: Re: Croom price going up?

You guys dont know what your missing if you actually enjoy croom trail riding.
Dont get me wrong, any riding is good riding, but 3' deep whoops on every square inch of 2600 acres sucks especially with the money they make off the permits. I am sure there are plenty of people who would be more than glad to help flatten some trails out there. Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: KD 428 on June 04, 2008, 11:48:59 AM That is totally exaggerated. The whoops are not 3 ft deep, and there are many trails that dont have a single whoop on them. You have to know where the good trails are. The whoops only make you faster anyway.

The trails at Croom are perfect for training for the FTR. The beat you into shape and make you stronger and faster. It all depends on what you like, everyone doesn't have the same preference. Like KD450 said there are some of the inner trails that don't get ridden as much as the perimeter trails that are fairly smooth. You are right though that most of the place is one big whoop. Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: TRXASAURUS on June 04, 2008, 12:53:20 PM Motoplex needs to open up another location in Hillsborough County it would REAP!!

Though they are tolerable on the north end. I ride there pretty much every other Saturday. I have a local spot I like much better, but I go to croom to ride with my friends.

Post by: FoxHondaRider on June 04, 2008, 07:11:11 PM Whoops are really fun and it would be boring without them. Skipping across them is no problem but some of them in the trails are rediculous like a few feet down and theres no way to get speed in tight stuff like that so they suck. The trails could do with less whoops and the pit is fine as long as they stay how they are now and now how they used to be when they were trenches. For the 1.2 million or whatever they made last year on passes keep it maintained and keep it a fun place to ride. I would like to see a picnic area like they have in the back in the pit. Also the trails they made turn to whoops and become crappy after a few weekends and when they plow them it was actually worse. How i dont know but my quad was shaken so violently it was like running over huge roots the whole trail. So maybe htey can do a better job maintaining the trails. $70 will suck because gas prices arent going down and just to get out there isnt free. Looks like I wont have a Croom pass 1st this year if its $70.

Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: 1FasterBlaster on June 05, 2008, 12:14:45 AM It's not whoops that I don't like, but whoops all day long sucks azz!! And 20 ft. of no whoops don't mean it's riding. I can't ever get out of third gear there because I'm hitting the next turn. I'm a speed rider, and Croom is no place for speed riding.
Ocala was really the only place I liked riding. Croom get's worn out when you can get clear to the other side in 20 minutes. When I go there, all I ever want to do is play in the Pit riding burms. And hellz no I'm not too old!!LOL...I'm getting a faster 400. Title: Re: Croom price going up? Post by: 1FasterBlaster on June 05, 2008, 12:18:11 AM If I had Elka's , I probably wouldn't of minded the whoops. Try racing and passing people with stockers...then you can talk smack.
