Our Story

We don’t just build tracks. Our family rides them.

Full Throttle Earthworks is a family-owned Australian business built around motocross, machinery and a shared love of riding.

From our children racing to Adam’s years behind the handlebars and Michelle lining up for her first race on a couple of weeks go on Father's Day this year, motocross is part of our family’s life. We understand what it means to trust the ground beneath your family because we put our own family on tracks too.

That is why every Full Throttle Earthworks track is approached with three priorities: safety-conscious design, long-term durability and room for riders to progress.

We build every track to a standard we would want our own family riding.

A family of riders

Riding shapes the standard we build to.

Motocross is not something we only understand from behind a machine. It is part of our family’s everyday life.

We know what it feels like to watch your child approach a jump for the first time. We understand the confidence a rider gains from a track that allows them to build their skills gradually. We also know how quickly poor flow, unsuitable features or inconsistent construction can affect a rider’s experience.

That perspective follows us onto every property. We look at a track through the eyes of the landowner, the parent, the developing rider and the experienced racer — not only through the windscreen of a machine.

The Full Throttle standard

Safety considerations. Longevity. Progression.

A track should do more than look impressive on completion day. It needs to work for the people riding it, hold up under its intended use and continue supporting riders as their skills develop. These three priorities guide the way we assess, design and build every project.

Safety-conscious design

Motocross will always carry risk, but thoughtful track design can help reduce avoidable hazards.

We consider the rider levels, bike sizes, sightlines, feature placement, available run-off, speed entering and leaving sections, transitions, drainage and the way different parts of the track connect.

For family and junior tracks, this means understanding who will ride the track now and how their abilities may change. For clubs and competition facilities, it means considering multiple classes, bike sizes, rider speeds and the operational demands of a busy track.

We never describe a track as risk-free. Our responsibility is to apply experience, practical judgment and safety-conscious design to every decision we make.

Built for longevity

A great track should still perform after the machines leave.

Longevity begins with working with the land rather than forcing a layout onto it. Soil, natural fall, drainage, water movement, available material, access and intended maintenance all influence how a track should be positioned and constructed.

We think beyond the final photograph. We consider how the track is expected to wear, how it can be maintained and whether the design is appropriate for the property and level of use.

The objective is to create a track that remains practical, maintainable and enjoyable — not one that only looks good on handover day.

Designed for progression

Progression is one of the most important parts of a successful track.

A developing rider needs features that build confidence and allow skills to grow. More experienced riders need flow, challenge and opportunities to develop speed and technique.

Where the property and project allow, tracks can be designed with rollable features, considered transitions, alternative lines or sections that work differently as a rider becomes more capable.

The goal is not to make every track easy. It is to create a track with purpose — one that suits the people using it and gives them somewhere to grow.

Experience on both sides of the build

Seen from the machine. Felt from the bike.

More than 25 years of machinery and riding experience shape every Full Throttle Earthworks project.

Technical machinery knowledge allows us to understand the land, move material efficiently and shape features with intent. Riding experience provides another level of judgment: how a section approaches, where a rider’s vision naturally falls, how speed carries through the layout and whether the track has genuine flow.

A track is not finished simply because it looks right from the machine. It must make sense for the people who will ride it.

Built around the riders

No two families, clubs or properties are the same.

A track for children learning on smaller bikes should not be approached in the same way as a private training track for experienced racers. A family track has different demands from a club facility carrying multiple classes and large numbers of riders.

This is why Full Throttle Earthworks does not use copied or cookie-cutter layouts. Every project is developed around the property and its riders.

Before designing a track, we consider

Who will use it
Rider ages and ability levels
Current and future bike sizes
How often the track will be ridden
Whether it is for recreation, training or competition
The natural terrain and soil
Water movement and drainage
Available space and construction material
How the track will be maintained
How riders may progress over time

What we build for other families matters to ours.

Being trusted to build on someone’s property is something we take seriously. For many clients, a track represents years of planning, saving and dreaming. For parents, it can become the place where their children learn, progress and spend their weekends.

We understand that because we live it too.

Our name is attached to every track we build, but more importantly, real people will ride it. That responsibility is behind the standard we carry from one project to the next.
