Welcome to the site Matthew. :cool:
Get your dad to sign up as well.
Regarding places to ride, check out the Southern Spodes forum for opportunities to hook up with fellow DRNers.
Check out the TNT Motorsports Park website for information on and maps of how to get to the park. One of the premier parks in the the Southeast, TNT is considered by many here to be their home track.

Matthew, you are going to make me show my age. :)
My first motorcycle was a 1971 Penton 125 ISDT. I still have it, but it needs to be restored. I got it when I was 20 and it was all but new, as I bought it off a buddy going through a divorce. My parents would not let me get a bike when I was a kid, so you dad is a good guy. Be sure and treat him that way.
I started out just riding the natural terrain available to me. Round and round I went, until I had made a small loop that I could practice on. I was alone for about a year before a buddy bought a bike. Then we started going to one of the local riding parks to expand our knowledge and ability.
Don't worry about building a track, until you have many miles and laps under your belt on natural terrain. Why risk breaking a bike to learn a trick that will only get you and your dad in trouble with mom, when you need a cast?
Just be sure to get as much seat time as possible, and be sure and do whatever chores are asked of you, as gas is expensive. :nod:
Regarding your bike, there are at least 3 different 125s, which do you have? I have a TTR 125 that has a BBR 150 kit on it. It is a fun little play bike for sure. My daughter follows my grandson around with that bike.
Dirtbiking is truly a family sport. You are going to start making memories to last a lifetime.
Enjoy!!
