So my mom recently moved down to santa rosa beach florida and i will be going down there over the holidays and wanted to know if there was anything to ride?
Florida Pan Handle - good trails or djs?
- Thread starter willyj
- Start date
The jackpot would be to drive down to Ocala,fl and ride the jumps at Santos.
They gots 3 pump tracks, some big drops, really sick dj park and lots of xc trails

Yea i found that while i was searching , but it is pretty far away
Yeah i thought it wasnt close but dude santos is the shiznit for going big. Anyhoo, i know that Gainesville has some descent XC. U might do better by checking out the trail directory feature over on mtbr
Emerald Coast Dirt & Vert - Fort Walton Beach would be where I would start.
Is that a shop or a network of trails?
It's a Skatepark, Dirt Jumps and NBL BMX track all in one. I haven't been since quiting BMX (years ago), but I sure they could steer you in the right direction.

Sweet, I will be on vacation in Destin after Xmas. I'll stop by.
I just moved to Tallahassee this month, not too far from Santa Rosa. It seems everywhere I go, all I see is mountain bikes! Lots of trails/parks, I believe a pump track or two so i've heard.
Here is a link to some trails... http://www.trails.com/activity.aspx?area=10229 and the local website.... http://tallahasseemountainbike.com/ hope it helps.

Tallahassee has a few trails tom brown, and red bug at tom brown they have a pump track. Other than that Orlando, ocala best bet they have vans skatepark in Orlando if im correct and santos epic certify is a blast
We stoped by that emerald coast dirt and vert yesterday and it didnt look to promising the dirt jumps were rough,like they looked like they hadn't been ridden for a while and the park wasnt a bike park in my opinion.It also seemed like there wasnt much run in for the djs either.The NBL Track was flawless though but i dont think its worth the 45 min drive out there, for me at least.
So far the best thing i can find is some alright transitions and lil jumps on golfcourses........................which are abnormally hard to pedal on
ECDV is run by Bill Madden. He has been down the last few weeks with shoulder surgury after a big BMX crash. He races the masters class in the NBL I think. The place is part of the Fort Walton parks and recreation and is usually top notch. I visit there every summer. Bill is a first class guy and if healthy is not afraid to go big. He could most certainly put you on any local spots worth visiting. Tell him the mayor from TN sent you by.
Still got folks in Saluda? You should get in touch if you make it around my way at all over the break.
Man sadly i dont have any kin around those parts anymore but thats where all my people are so i might be making my way up there soon
