The flag drops, and the high-pitched whining begins. Riders with superman and batman capes sneak around curves on their 50cc motorcycles. It's race day at Three Palms Extreme Sports Park, and the determined peewee racers imitate some of their favorite motocross superstars: James Stewart and Chad Reed. Dads, moms, siblings and friends cheer the little guys and gals along the track. Crashes happen. Dads rush out to help the riders up and back on the bike. More than racing techniques are taught. Life lessons are learned: when you get knocked down, get back up and keep going. It’s important to finish what you started. 

Three Palms offers 3 full motocross tracks, 2 peewee tracks and a pro level supercross track. This is the only Texas motocross facility to receive a 5-star rating by Fox. Practice fees are $16 per day or $40 annual membership. Spectators pay $2 for all non-events. Training is offered for both genders, all ages and experience levels.

On July 3rd the Friday Night Series will host the Miss 3Palms Contest. The winner will receive cash and prizes and will be on the cover of the calendar.

In addition, Three Palms offers a wakeboarding lake and a jet ski lake. The wakeboarding lake is big enough to allow for 6 tricks per pass. Fun for the whole family!

To get to Three Palms, take I-45 north or south and exit at FM 1488. Three Palms is on the west service road. For more information, go to the Three Palms website or call 932-321-8725.
