Paddles at Badlands????

[veddersbetter]

Ive been there a couple times and it seems that paddles would help out alot and be lots of fun to play with but........with the way the sand is at the badlands(half pea gravel) would it rip apart a good set of paddles?

[Braff1]

I agree with you Vetter. The sand up there is coarse a would tear them up, also it would limit you to the sand only since I don't think they would be any good in the woods.

When are you going to the Badlands?

I may be going the 6th too. That's if my cuz can fix the beast, blow the axle carrier.

You guys goin up there the same weekend of the LBL ride? Why dontcha come down here? :cool:

[trx400ex]

well i dont know how to get there, and the badlands is only half hour away from me...i dont know if im even going to go there now though, well see i guess

[veddersbetter]

we'll probably go up May 11 and 12....either to the Badlands or to St Joes Ride Park in MO

[veddersbetter]

Has anyone heard anything about the "paddle masters" from GBC? Theyre suppose to be stronger blades to run in mud and snow as well as sand........but is there a weight issue? Im thinkin theyre probably pretty heavy....like the Realtors

Where do you ride around in Sterling?

TRX400EX,
Here is the link to Badlands directions page.

If you take I-74 west out of Indy you take the Attica exit. Turn right at end of the ramp. Stay on that road until you come into Attica and go until you come to a stop light (there should be a gas station on right). Turn left at that light. Go down to the next light, turn left again at the light. Once on this road it is a straight shot to the Badlands you will see the sign on the right hand side of the road. When you see the big ADM grainery ??sp you are almost there.

We have permission from a farmer in Galt(just west of Sterling) to ride. Ive been to the Bike Barn in Morrison a couple times and various other places. Do you know any good ridin spots around here. My Yahoo group has a bunch of stuff on where we go ridin if ya want to check it out(be a couple days be4 its workin again)

oh, sorry, i meant the lbl ride, but i wont be able to go anyway, from where i live i can get to the badlands in 20 minutes:D

How often do you go riding? How many do you go riding with? We need to hook up sometime soon.

[Braff1]

That is a different story then. All I can tell you is head south west towards Hopkinsvill Ky. area. Maybe someone else will be able to help more than me.:p

Just an idea but maybe a tire like the Pure Sport Realtors would be a good tire for the Baddlands iv never riden there but from what u guys say it sounds like this would be a god tire for the badlands

[trx400ex]

stock 400ex radials are good, and so are holeshots

We go about 2 or 3 times a week..usually with 3- 4 other people ..sometimes more. Were really lookin to find somewhere else to ride as weve been to the same spot over and over. Theres a place in Savanna weve been a few times with about 15-20 other guys....thats usually pretty fun......Ill let ya know next time theres a ride ....usually on a Sunday or Saturday
