Honestly Pocono for your first dayisnt that bad.. people were saying how bumpy it is, and while its true, its not THAT bad for your first day.. All I could think about my first day was how much better Pocono was that any street riding I have ever done... After doing several other tracks and then going back to Pocono, I realized how bumpy it really was. Maybe because I was going faster, maybe because I was more on the right line... Not sure, but I wouldnt shy away from Pocono for your first time out...

Pocono is great for your 1st time. You won't know the difference anyway. You'll just be so excited to be riding on the track you won't care.

Pocono is fine. actually east is great for first timers because it is a good learning track, lots of different types of turns to learn and practice.

It fills up because it's close to alot of people...lot of riders within a 2 hour radious.

Thats the obvious answer but it cant be that bad otherwise no one would go weather its nearby or not.

But it really is that bad... The bumps on that track are in the key bad spots... in half of the turns right where you should be braking and lettig the bike settle to ease into a turn, there are bumps screwing with you. iev been to vir, summit and beaver, and the concrete patches at summit can be annoying, and beaver has some bumps (easily avoided) in one turn, but nothing like pocono.

i know a few people that do ONLY pocono, beacuse to them 2 hours is reasonable, and they dotn know any better if they havent been to a smooth track. some people just cant be taking off entire weekends to go to beaver, vir, cmp, summit, mosport, nelson, etc etc etc... pocono is much closer to many more people than any of those tracks because of its proximity to NYC...

Yea it is...I'm an hour and 15 min from the track and I won't go back. To each their own though...

carl_g 01-12-2006 03:03 PM

As for the bumps you just ride over them.
But I do agree every other track I have been to has been better then pocono. My biggest gripe about the East course is that it is a really skinny track compared to summit or VIR.
