Hey I was just wondering if any of go to the track alone?

All my friends ride quads and dont take them out of the woods so im alone haha. Ive ridden a few around me before when I could get someone to go.

Point is has anyone else gone alone before I feel like a *** showing up by myself also Im 20 so I feel like im to old to go out there and not be able to ride as well as the people who can ride all the time there.

I have 3 kids, so I am never alone, but go for it, there is only one way to learn how to ride like other people-RIDE.

Welcome norma. I do not ride track. But would go in a sec if thats what i liked. And 20 OLD????? Are you kidding? you will be on the young side.
And shure you will meet others there and willing to help you and chat.
A good piece of advice i heard along time ago when pondering this question....Go to the track Without your bike the first time! walk around, check things out, meet people, ask questions and lots of riders will not only help awnser, but that way when you go next time with your bike you will know a few people and feel better and know how things are and be more comphy! Hence a better ride and exp Just a thought.
And welcome to our little family. Shure you will get good feed back from our racers.  YZ WOODS.

Welcome!

Everyone pretty much gets along here...atleast that I know of.

Since you mentioned the woods, I'm guessing you're not on the west coast. There are many riders out here at the tracks that go by themselves. I would try to get a friend to go, maybe get them to take video or photos of you.

My brother(Brad) went out to the track one day, brought his friend to take photos. Brad had a bad crash and broke both his arms and dislocated both wrists - thankfully his friend got on his cell phone called us out there, saved my parents thousands in ambulance bills.  

BTW - I'm 22 eeeeckkk, now you're trying to make me feel old lol.

I'm in the same position as you. I had a buddy that bought a 07 crf250 and then thought it was to big for him so he got a crf230 And he doesnt want to ride track with it.

It was a while ago and is fully recovered. He now has pins and plates in both wrists, when it gets cold outside its hard for him to move his wrists.

Ouch...
My cousin broke his leg, in a ball pit! lol He has several pins and plates in his leg now, and it took over 1.5 years to heal and get better. He still hobbles a bit now, but he is pretty much better.
