Shortly after completing GEICO Honda Rider Justin Barcia's new supercross track, the Dream Traxx crew returned to his new compound to begin construction on his outdoor track. Jason Baker and the Dream Traxx crew spent eight days at Barcia's compound creating a monstrous outdoor track that doesn't look like it belongs in the flat lands of Florida. Take a look at the pictures below to see just how this flat piece of land was turned into a motocross rider's heaven!

As you can see, the property started out as your typical flat piece of Florida land....but that was all about to change.

Let the excavation begin.
The Dream Traxx crew spent over 200 man hours excavating the property and generating dirt for the new track.
And when they were all done, it was hard to believe that this was once a flat piece of land.
With jumps that would rival any pro motocross track in the series, and elevation that looked like it belonged up north, the Dream Traxx crew basically pulled this track out of the ground.
In addition, they excavated a pond to collect rainwater runoff and to help aid with watering of the track.
When Justin first arrived home to see the finished product his smile was from ear to ear. He was already making up names for the enormous jumps scattered across the track, like Mt. Barcia and the Dirty Drop.
It is hard to imagine that all of this dirt was generated without leaving a giant hole. It looks like it just belongs.
When the track was complete, Jason Baker (the proud builder) was asked his thoughts on the finished product. "I was so happy that Justin and his family gave me free reign on their property, and let me turn this relatively flat piece of land into a motocross haven! I feel when my creativity is not restricted - the sky is the limit!"

I WANT TO GO TO JUSTINS AND RIDE
I nominate Jason aka Dream Traxx to be new the builder of the SX series. It would be nice to have a different look and style to the tracks that have become pretty cookie cutter and Jason would be the guy to get the job done.

Justin let me know when you would like me to come down and ride with you... hit me up man haha
I wanna know how much that costs...
Heaven on earth
i am from belgium and i want to ride there
@TerrorTodd....200hr's at min $125 Per = $25,000
So sick! Can I play?
200 was just to get the dirt for the track
The cost is more then the average man can afford. Track looks nice air view would be sick. Ain't no dirt wurx or bomber built though.
"always watch for the snake in the grass"
That would never happen in Massachusetts....What a great track.
Looks more like a supercross track than an outdoor track to me.
That's not an outdoor mx track, that's a huge supercross track! Where are the ruts, breaking bumps, rocks, off-camber turns, steep downhills....?
really guys...it just got built - use some sense...I am sure it will get rough!
Richard. Cmon are you serious. They dont use tractors to build chop bumps...
The individual who built this track is just an ex-racer with a dozer who calls himself a track builder. And the riders are getting hurt at the SX races because of it.
^ you're a sally... This track looks unreal and so fun. Can't wait to see a video from this place.
Since this track is in florida, is the track made out of sand? If so what a waste, it will all break down by the end of the day. You would figure he would pick a better state, like ANY other state.
THQ pleast put this track layout on MX vs ATV Alive....ahhhhhhh!!!!
what a bunch of negative women!!!!!! this track looks soooo sick!!! if you dont like it or are jealous of the builder then get your lazy ass on a dozer and give it a go!!! I would empty my bank account to ride this track.....
Looks like a young motohead's dream track and a good place for us old farts to get HURT!! BILL C -I don't think $25,000 would do it--double it mayby!
Track builder? You are such a retard!! DreamTraxx does not build the SX tracks for the series- so how can you say riders are getting hurt because of it.. The last time I checked Villopoto and Barcia BOTH have their tracks built by DreamTraxx and they BOTH won Championships this year. Quit being a hater....
someone misses MTF ever since he got kicked out.. resembles it quite a bit ehh?? but place looks sooo sick
Jimmy... need to find a better state than FL? Interesting, looks like a good number of good riders chose FL to spend most of their time to train and many have their own tracks... to name a few... Carmichael, Stewart, Reed, Ferry, Pourcel, Villopoto, Dungey, Pourcel, Izzi, Barcia, Chisholm, Alessi, Fiolek, Gieger, etc etc...
These folks can choose to ride/train anywhere, and they choose FL. There is a reason for that, if you don't know why, then you don't know much about MX.
Ahhh dont be dickheads!!! People where im from would absolutely die to ride this track! Who cares what state its in, its SICKNESS!!!! And also my home town boy from Taupo New Zealand Ben Townley also lived in Florida so add that to the list of riders who choose to ride there
Woah!! Droooool.... Can't wait to see some footage of him ripp'n that track up!
it says that they spent 8 days building it. even if they were working 12 hour days which they probably were, thats 96 hours. they would have to work more than 24hrs a day to get to 200 =O
Obviously more than one man building the track doe doe !! 200 man hours doesnt mean one person working 200 hrs straight...
Cant wait to see ride pics.....!! Well sadly we could only dream of being able to ride there, but maybe if we get enough requests in to THQ (Seeing how Barcia is in MX VS ATV Alive) we can get them to add this to the freeride/track lists on the DLC :-)
That 25,000 is just for the man hours, then add the cost for the equipment and all. Its an easy 50,000. But that is sweet, and not all the ground in Florida is sand. Its a mixture that includes sand. Which helps it out really, you can go ride 5 minutes after the rain stops, it drains great.
If you Dont think this track is an outdoor track then your just complaining because you wouldnt have the sack to hit anything out there, and another thing if you dont think florida is the place to live year round because of sand, then you have no idea what your talking about, AND jason baker and dream traxx are the most respected and TOP choice of track builder in the industry. His stuff is technical yet safe and would be the best choice for AMA to choose because dirt works sucks D*&k!!! Also before you say I dont know what im talking about I rode Pro Supercross this year...So dont blab about I just have no idea...
Well for all you keyboard jockeys out there. There is an art to being a hater. Mostly its all in fun. But a true hater hates on anyone that has more then him or does better then him. Just how it is . Of course the track looks good he was trained by the bomber who was trained by dirt wurx. so any track any of these guys build is going to look great. funny thing is this guy got all the tracks bomber used to build. weather the bomber was tired of traveling or was pushed out will be a mystery.
as far as the hours go 3 guys running 8 to 10 hrs a day for 8 days equals out the time.
cost yes alot say 1500 per day just in man power thats 12000.00
fuel 150 gal per day at 3.60 per gal 4320.00
equipment cost if justin doesnt own it and favors werent asked
dozer 300 per day track hoe 500 per day dump druck 500 per day skid loader 200 per day all equals bout 16000.00
rough total just shy of 35000.00
so small price to pay when ya paid much more to win for a major company.
so when money doesnt really have a limit yes they can build you something like this . as can bomber dirt wurx and a few other people.
but most that read this site couldnt afford this . for sure way more then half have no business on a track like this or a supercross track. just have to be real with ya self.
the truth is most of us use shovles wheel barrows old rubber tire bobcat and a tractor to build what we ride and practice on. with the dream of something like this. working all week just to buy parts, go race or rent a bobcat.
"Is it crazy yeah kinda to save and spend all on one thing that ya will get hurt doing at some time. just to get healed up enough to go do it again. But better to live with a dream a goal and a purpose then none at all . This is the sport we all love this is the dream this is motocross"
Huh? My IQ drops if I read these comments.
I hope to see a helmet cam vid of this track coming soon!
@ Valentino The reason I put down florida is because it sucks for riding. ALL SAND no pit bike tracks! The pro's moved here because it is the best place to train. They import truck loads of dirt, make a track and ride in the WORST weather imaginable. The humid weather is very low on oxygen, your body will adapt then when they go race say cali, your in much better shape. I am from cali and ohio. I miss my pit bike tracks, cant even go off rode on a mountian bike here. Sand sucks!
@the voice, SAND SUCKS if thats all you have to ride in. Pro tracks here have imported dirt because sand sucks and florida does suck to live in year round. Flatter than your 10 year old girlfriend and a great place if you like bugs.
It is unfortunate but typical of some readers to misunderstand my previous reply. The apparent confusion most likely comes from wannabees who are in awe of a guys with bulldozers who call themselves track builders. The legitimate point I was attempting to make is that riders are getting hurt at the SX races and the tracks need to be improved. The ad hominem "responses" to my valid claim were fallacious at best.
Jimmy... 'ALL SAND'? 'WORST weather imaginable'? You live in FL? So it gets Hot and humid from June - September... don't be a puss... You can ride practically 365 days a year... can't say the same for most other locales... Not all tracks are sand... ever been to Gatorback, Reddick? I didn't think so...
There used to be pit bike tracks... guess what, nobody showed up to ride them, so they closed down or were converted to enlarge a real track.
It is interesting to read the comments attempting to appear so impressed by this "awesome" track. In reality, a person with no experience at all can build a track. This is just an obstacle course. The people at Dream Traxx probably respond to their own article!
obstacle course maybe but would be fun stringn them together !!! give us some footage of you breaking it in Justin !
Jason is not the only one that works for dream tracks I was there when Corey ( my brother) built it
