[Scott-300ex]

Dude, i live right by st. louis, in waterloo IL, like 20 miles from the arch

i gotta drive to the arch everyday now cuz college, downtown traffic is fuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!:rolleyes:

but dude, i go down to flat river a lot, its a fun place, tons of flats and trails like billions or trillions

there are a lot of other trail places around here

[crazyatvn]

I know about flat river I want some where closer that 1 hour away I live in Belleville. I get tired of flat river sometime. Also with gas prices my V10 F350 with my 20' enclosed trailer is hard on the wallet going to St Joe.

No I never flat tracked my bike is set up for woods racing (XC) I went to tailerville once I was not impressed the woods were like a swamp and way to wide open. the motocross track was ok if that is what you like.

That is why I did not say BET I said splinter creek.

[Jared Hamilton]

[crazyatvn]

I went to flat river on sunday it was not as busy as I thought it would have been. Nice day very dusty in the trails. I am not sure what classes they will have. I will not be in beginners that is all I know.

[Aarons 01 400EX]

[Jared Hamilton]

[Scott-300ex]

[blackwell17]

[kbass24emtp]

Flat River will not kill your bearing. Use to ride there alot before most the park was closed down. Now its too busy for me.

[Scott-300ex]

got ya blackwell, on aim


and the people your talkin to don't know what they're talkin about

flat river is awsome, you'll only hurt somethin if your completely stupid, but thats the same anywhere

there is

-sand flats
-mud
-billions, and yes i said BILLIONS of trails
-whoops are everywhere, harder ones, like, 2 feet high and a
quad length apart, i run threw them in 3rd gear, lol, fun times


-other stuff but you ain't ganna hurt your BEARINGS:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:, i don't know why they hell they would say bearings...............don't make sense, unless they think you'll get sand in them but come on, i don't get them

you ever been down there?

[blackwell17]

yah ive been there 3 times...its quite a drive from Highland, but worth it in my opinion!

lets all get together and have a exriders.com day lol..im up for it (sundays are perfect for me)

[Scott-300ex]

I'm up for it:D
