Motocross/Enduro/Quads in Waterford

Roadskill

Looking into setting up a motocross track in Waterford with enduro course and quads in mind also. If insurance can be sorted and planning permission granted we are hoping to have this up and running by Paddys Day next. Do you think that there is a need for this or could it be a waste of time and money. Are there many of you that would use it or do you know of many off roaders .
Like I said this is being looked at now and we have someone that would design the tracks so any feedback would be great

Thanks in advance.

I know a nice amount of lads down here that are into off-road fun.
I was thinking bout getting an off-road bike for the craic but not many places to enjoy it here in hillview lol.
Where are you thinking of putting it? I think its a great idea.

Out at the Airport business park where we are based.

I think there is a similar track not far from Ross.
I own an enduro myself and would have certainly a look as it's just around the corner from my place.
Whether this is a viable business opportunity or not that I cannot tell.
I imagine any kind of relatively pricey leisure business will find times difficult at the moment. I mean even the golf clubs are struggling and that's something for a presumably higher age average and those people tend to have a little more money then what I reckon would be your target clientele.

if its a good flowing somewhat challenging enduro track I know a good few guys who would be interested.

Did this ever materialise? Id definitely be interested, as would my friends.

Not Yet. The council are being a pain in the arse.

Was there not a Hare and Hound event beside the Waterford Airport Business Park only a couple of weeks ago?

Is this the site where you want to put the track?

Yes there was but that was a charity event with no planning permission needed. we used the land it was going to be built on and the event organisers had their own insurance in place.

Did you go to that event? How was it?

I was at the Tinahealy H&H the week before and got a flier for it but I couldn't make it as I busted one of my radiators in Tinahealy.
