Description
Southern 4x is a community-built 4X race track at Freespace in Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh, run by the Southern 4x club: one BMX-style track with an asphalt start hill, next to the Freespace skatepark.
The Track
- Four cross (4X) is racing downhill side by side on a BMX-style track, and any bike with two brakes will do.
- The track is the old Freespace BMX track, a regional standard track built in 2011 with an asphalt start hill and dirt straights and berms. After years of growing over, Southern 4x brought it back as a community-built 4X track with Eastleigh Borough Council's approval.
- Free to ride.
Gate Sessions and Dig Days
- Southern 4x runs gate sessions on Thursday evenings: bring your own bike or hire one of theirs. Check their Instagram for times and any weather cancellations.
- The club also holds dig days to keep the track running, posted on its Facebook page.
The Skate Park
- The Freespace skatepark was rebuilt by Fearless Ramps after vandalism in 2020, with a mix of ramps and a bowl for skateboards, scooters and BMX.
Getting Here
- Stoney Croft Rise, Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh, SO53 3LD. The 4X track is just south of the skatepark.
