whos from wi?

[csimp3]

hey, i live in the madison area and i am new to this sport, i was just wondering where everyone from around here rides? also trying to meet some cool people, thanks

[BlasterEaten250]

Black river falls and clark county are great. The cheese country trail is a good layed back trail. If you want to go far the Price county trails are good. I have also heard good about the oconto county trails. I would also make sure your pipe is under 96 db's. And remember you have to be registered in the state of wisconsin. My personal recommendation would go to brf and clark county. The intensive use areas in clark county are awesome. Just don't go on weekends because it can get pretty crazy at black river falls.

[aman]

well, i live about 60 miles west of ya and I ride the mx track i built at my house and thats about it......as for the cheese county trails, they are B-O-R-I-N-G :o

[aman]

Would anyone be interested in riding here?? I have a pretty nice track, some trails, and a sand pit to boot :D

[baker250r]

i might consider it if winter wasnt comin so fast... im from black river falls, so the trails get preaty boring for me. but i do go to check out the sweet ladies sometimes... even tho i gotta tuck and run when the DNR is near. im not registered and far from legal. haha

janurary 7th we are palnnin on headin down to the indoor track at waterman to race.

[jjthekj]

Lolli2 and I live on the Wis./Ill. border. We've not yet made it to Black River Falls, but we'll get there soon. We should organize a gathering of members sometime. Maybe blow off work/school and go on a Monday. Chances are we'd have the place to ourselves.

Hey aman,
Where u at? We're in Trevor Wis. Kenosha Co.

[aman]

sounds familiar.....i raced with some people from trevor down at the nuke series at byron.....anyways, im not too far away from ya i dont think. I live in iowa county and thats only about an hour from the border

[capeters]

If you are open for a weekend ride check the UP of MI. I am originally from up there and the trails are some of the best on the planet. All of the snowmobile trails are open to bikes and ATV's, there are literally thousands of miles of trails. Great fun. Try the Marquette area first. Most of the local hotels/motels have trail maps and are very accomadating to the sport.

[WheelieMan4]

I live in Dodgeville..all i ride are the boring cheese trails.. but every summer i go up twice to hurley and park falls area with my friend and his family..

[aman]

Do any of you guys happen to ride motocross by chance? Its a fun thing to try if you are tired of trail riding all the time and nothin else....lol :D

I only know a couple of the dirtbike racers.(KTM)

[Toadz400]

I'm from the Mid-West side of Wisconsin, small village called Star Prairie. There's a few of us that ride, looking for more places to ride though. I have relatives in Ashland and a friend of mine has a cabin in Hayward so we've done some riding there. There's a small dirtbike track nearby that we're currently rebuilding for ourselves, but other than our own yards there's not much for riding areas around here.

[aman]

would anyone happen to live in SW Wisconsin?

[baker250r]

well aman... i live in lacrosse, if that counts as south west.... are u friends with jordan yanna?

[86-250Rnut]

[89'350RX]

nope, it is right off of I-90 and I was just through there this weekend. If I remember correctly, it is just East of the John Dealer and trailer dealer off I-90 ... probably 10 miles...

[baker250r]

then i better go check it out...

yeah, lol, thats prolly good enough.....yanna used to ride out here quite a bit, but hes in love with sleds and rockets now so hes partin out the r......if any of you guys want to ride down here ur sure welcome to...i rarely get more than a couple people here at a time so it wouldnt hurt to have a bigger attendance

[baker250r]

yea, i talk to yanna on messenger.... i think he doesnt know wut he wants... haha one day this, next day that.... i tell him to stick with the R... it will be worth money in a few years... but hes dead set on sellin the thing. poor guy... u should come down with us to waterman the 7th of janurary. shoudl be a great time. im gettin a helmet cam and everything so we can tape it all, then ill edit it into a movie thing

Yea I talk to Yanna on MSN also. He changes his mind about everything more than I do, and that's bad!:eek2: .

Anyone know of some good ice races on the Western side of Wisconsin? We have a ton of lakes out here but there are never any races.

[baker250r]

hatfield always has one in feburary or march.... its up past black river falls a few miles.... on lake arbutus

[Toadz400]

Originally posted by baker250r

Oh okay, I'll have to look into that. Black River Falls is only a few hours away, so if the races are good it'd be worth it.

[baker250r]

well the CWIRA hosts it.... so its usually got a good turnout... i forgot about the ice races just a few miles north of there earlier in the season at schnieder park in niellsville. both are on the black river. i think the scnieder is around janurary?

If that kid had anything for more than a year, besides a sled, it would be a miracle.....hes gone through 5 quads already and hes only 18...and he definitely needs to get over that because hes losin his .... from doin it all the time

I might have to take you up on that one. I've heard supercross on quads is supposed to be quite the challenge. If i can get the parts and stuff ordered soon and get it ready to go it shouldnt be a prob....right now shes down though, waitin for some new motor mounts, the other ones managed to crack in half :mad:

[baker250r]

yea, thatt'll happen, my old 250r the frame was cracked in 5 diff spots, and the case halves were cracked.... one of those fill up the crank case with oil b4 the race and hope she didint grenade

im tryin to order a graphics kit and numbers for the new one... but u knwo that is without a credit card..... im also tryin to get my 270pv cylinder redone so i cna have it on by then.... but who knows.... ill probly run the 290 just cuz i dont wanna screw with jetting this winter

[aman]

yeah, lol, i guess thats what you get for racing them....heck, i broke mine in 4 spots at the same time. :rolleyes:

[aman]

Does anyone on here race the WI MX Series??? If so, how would you rate the tracks and how well they are prepped?

[baker250r]

i race both quad series and dist 16. havent made it to pine ridge or them U.P. races... but i raced this year at CMJ, arkansaw, Hixton, and chilton. and id have to say, them are all nice tracks, with the exception of CMJ... thats a dirtbike track thru and thru. but they all prep their tracks really nice b4 the races, and its usually good competition. next year i plan on hittin more of the northeast wisconsin race tracks... and a few nationals.

[aman]

thanks for the info....i was plannin on racin some d16 too and just wanted to make sure tracks were worth it, being that most of them are at least a couple hours away. Last summer i raced d17, and they have some pretty good tracks down that way too. What nationals are you plannin to go to?

[baker250r]

redbud and the one down in walnut.... u can probly hitch a ride with... im sure we will have trailer space.

[motoman287]

I'm from Central Wisconsin (Medford), and usually ride Clark County and Black River Falls (my favorites). The Perkinstown ATV trails are a couple miles out of town, and run through the Chequamegon forest. I race Dist. 16 motocross on bikes, and have raced Hixton, Ettrick, Arkansaw, Chilton, South Range(Houghton, MI), Marshfield, Wis. Rapids, Wheeler, and Sugar Camp. In my opinion, yes, Hixton is more a bike track. Ettrick, Arkansaw, and Chilton are good quad tracks. Rapids is real sandy w/ no real "jumps", but gets real rough is a challenge. Sugar Camp is similar, with more jumps, and I actually raced a buddy's 450 in Quad B this summer and got 4th. Wheeler is sandy, but is a S*&% hole in my opinion, for both bikes and quads. Quads were able to run at Marshfield for the first time this last year, and if you want a mudbog and beat the piss out of your wheeler, go race it. South Range is sandy w/ some nice jumps, and seems to be decent for wheelers...

That's all I got for you guys....

[baker250r]

my bud went to marshfield... and he said it wasnt worth it. he said most of the people didnt even practice, and they packed up and went home. wheeler closed down, and isnt a track anymore. chilton is kick ace if u love tight arenacross... i love that track... but is nomore. scotty is buildin another one in menasha tho, so i hope its as good as chlton was.

[aman]

Has anybody raced at warren county fairgrounds before? Its only about a mile and a half on the other side of the border and is set up pretty must just like a supercross track. Its usually prepped pretty good and ive been to every race they've had for the last two years pretty much.....go to www.racethestorm.com to check it out

[motoman287]

Wheeler didn't close down! It's the first points event of 2006 in early April. A guy posted it on a different forum that attended the district meeting last week.

thanks man......ill have to come up to hidden valley and arkansas at the very least to run some mx next summer.....give you guys some competition lol ;)

[motoman287]

I don't personally race quads. I'm actual a bike guy, but I have a few friends who race quads. If you're ever going to be at a race, let me know so I can find you. We usually have a pretty good crew from our town...

[baker250r]

hey motoman... u race with the dassows? If so... i was the guy at the quad series ettric race that lost the master clip on my R in the pits... haha

[honda92]

hey motoman, do you run the black river in the winter at all? i have relatives in medford and we usually run the black river a few times in the winter.

[BlasterEaten250]

[motoman287]

Yes, i know the Dassows, and have went to races with Dustin a few times. He's pretty much done w/ racing now though, because he got himself in trouble w/ the popo.

And yes, I do run the river in the winter! It's a blast! Who's your relatives and where are you from? We should get a big group together sometime! We used to run w/out studs, which was fun because there'd be lots of bumping/banging, as well as bouncing off the river banks alot! I'm working on a set of studded skins though...

[honda92]

motoman, i'm from wausau. my cousin lives in that dome house on gibson drive in little black. i was tryin to hook him up with sam paulson's quad but he couldnt come up with the cash. i usually get over there a few times to run the river, but otherwise we ride lake wausau and the rivers around here a few times a week.

[motoman287]

Geez, I know your cousin! Arik Tischendorf right? My dad and his dad were good friends and we used to go camping/riding with them alot! I used to go there to his house riding sometimes too! I had a blaster and he had his XR80!

And yea, I'm good friends with Sam, and he said something about Arik looking at it...small world.

[honda92]

yeah, no kidding. whats your name? i'm tony. i know his friend slate just got a 400ex last winter too. the rib river by us was froze over last week but all the warm weather it opened up again. im in the process of studding a couple sets right now, just need the cold weather to stay for awhile.

[motoman287]

My name is Scott. I've never ridden the Rib, any good?

[honda92]

last year is was not good at all. on a good year you can make it about 20 miles or so if you start on the lake and run up by rib falls. last year there was a lot of open water and bad ice. one guy almost sunk his cannondale, he was up to his neck in water and the only thing keeping the quad from falling to the bottom was the handle bar caught the edge of the ice as it fell in. i have never really went through on the black river yet, just broke tires through and such.

[aman]

anyone have snow still? we had a couple inches but its all gone now and almost dried up again......hopin to get the yfz out one last time before we get smacked with some more :D

[baker250r]

we had snow for a day er 2... then it all melted.... i want to get my R out again... but im goona leave her tucked away... shes all clean and purty right now... and i dont wanna mess with cleanin her up again... ahha, and im out of race gas.

[baker250r]

u got msn aman?

[aman]

yager_25@hotmail.com......yeah, i thought about takin mine out too, but seeing that its only 15 degrees out, and a buddy of mine just broke his ankle a couple hours ago in a freak accident, i think ill just keep it in the shed till its time to strip it down.

[aman]

hey motoman, are you going down to rockford this weekend for arenacross?

[honda92]

anyone get out on the lakes yet? i think we are gonna give it a shot this upcoming weekend.

[Toadz400]

Originally posted by honda92

I'm thinking about checking out the thickness of the ice in about two weeks. It's been pretty warm here up until this past week so I'm not too comfortable about riding on the lakes.

[86-250Rnut]

i would be out there right now... but the ice was only 2"s thick and then it snowed{4inches}. so the ice is insalted now and prob aint getting any thicker. i though the ice would be think enoughf before it snowed... i was worng. i went threw the ice on my pond. i jumed off and watched her sink to the just over the tires.
BE SAFE!BE SMART!
Mitch:macho

[honda92]

we'll check it out a head of time but if you stay away from the main channels and weeds we should be alright, i seen a wheeler out there last week at this time. and it hasn't been above 5 degrees now for 2-3 days here.

[86-250Rnut]

I c. same here about. so where abouts do you live... wanna to riddin sum time on the fox or a lake around here sumtime?
Mitch

[450ar]

I am form menomonee falls. Northwest part of milwaukee. I will be down for a ice ride.

[flyin#5]

we have about 6" of ice out there now... its enough but i think we'll wait a bit. got my rancher going now so we can plow the ice track off all the time. should be a blast.

Hell ya', when are you going to get the plow put on?

And which lake are we deciding on building the track?

[honda92]

i had my truck out on lake wausau this past weekend, you can ride a wheeler anywhere. there is a good 8 inches out there, even the rivers are good.

[450ar]

[450ar]

hey guys if you want to be part of a group ride. Pm with your phone number and general location. This would make it easier to get the ball rolling.
And If you pm let me if its ok to give your phone number to others that are interested in a group ride.
We might not all be able to get togethe but we might be able to get poelpe who live close to each other, a mini group ride.

[aman]

So what is going on guys I'm on the boarder of WI myself Lake villa IL. When we going to get a ride going. Aman where is you track located i have been looking for a place to ride for over a year now that isn't so damn far away. Do you allow three wheelers on it because that is all that i have?

[2001-400ex'er]

I guess if ur crazy enough to ride mx with a three wheeler then yeah.....go ahead.....hats off to you man......i've never seen anyone do it before but it'd be interesting to watch but yeah....if you wanted to come up to ride sometime that would be ok w/ me.....but i dont have a contract or anything to sign for the track....i dont charge anything either so just bring some gear and make sure you have a helmet

[aman]

I think it would be a great idea for a group ride up here this weekend though.....the track should be dry by then and i have plenty of space to ride and do w/e.......if you need directions you can mapquest it.....i live 5 miles outside of highland, which is 60 miles west of madison.....so if really isnt too bad of a drive even if your along the border......even if the track isnt ready to go theres a sand pit and some good trails other stuff to do.......it'd be nice to get some more people up this way cause the most riders i get a weekend is like 5 tops

[flyin#5]

wish i didnt have to work on weekends otherwise id try to make it down, but i have a few freestyle shows to do and some family stuff so i dont want to take that many weekends off. but if you guys ever want to come up here and ride we have a killer track right near me and a few trails at mine, and toadz's houses. the track has small jumps, and some for the more experienced.

[honda200x]

you think you can email me a adress to your place so i can mapquest it and maybe a phone number to call and let you know that i'm comming out there when I do. i'm not to up to familar with those parts. Rc197923@comcast.net thanks :D

[aman]

Wow.......thats quite a haul for you man.......idk if you'd want to go that far or not.....it says over 3 hours on mapquest..... heres a general idea where i live though if anyone else would be interested in riding up here.....

What news channel was it? What exactly do you mean by "central Wisconsin"? Were any nearby towns mentioned?

Over on the West Side we're opening up an indoor ATV/Dirtbike track at the Cedar Lake Speedway near New Richmond/Somerset/Star Prairie. Construction is supposed to begin this month but who knows when it will actually be started or finished.

Anyone ride in Danbury, WI? Northwest corner of the state. I'm from MN and go up to Hinckley almost every weekend at my buddies land. It's just on the otherside of the St. Croix from Danbury. I don't really use this forum, but if anyone wants to get together to ride, shoot me a pm.

I've ridden in Danbury/Webster a few times, very nice area to ride. I think we're actually planning on riding there next week sometime. I'll have to let you know if it's for sure though.

hey, that'd be cool. we're almost always up there, except for the last two weekends cause my friend broke his wrist at a gravel pit we like to go to.

if you ride there much you might have seen my or some of my friends around there; two black banshees (one is me), red 400ex, white 700r

go ahead and give me a call if you figure out when your going, 612-240-2977, or shoot me a pm, either works

oh, I'm Tyler

[BuB400]

I saw it on fox 6 in milwaukee. The news guy claimed that it wouldnt be to far from Miwaukee.

The last time I was up there was last fall and I think I remember seeing a Banshee or two and a white 700R (I remember that because it wasn't too long after they came out). I ride an '05 SE YFZ450 and I've been up there with an '03 Predator, '03 Z400, a blue '00 400EX, a red '00 400ex, a yellow Polaris Sportsman, and probably some other quads.

I'll let you know when the next time we're heading up is.

[airdog]

ya, that was most likely us, back then my other friend probably had an ugly blue blaster (and was probably breaking down, haha) instead of his 400ex.

we might be there this weekend, and theres a good chance we'll be there the next weekend, but on 4th of july weekend we're guaranteed to be there.

Also, does anyone know of a place to ride near Madison? I go to school there and it would be sweet if I could get out once in a while on a weekend without having to travel too far.

I'm going up to Danbury or Webster next Wednesday or Sunday. I took both days off of work just in case one day doesn't work out I have the other to go riding. It'd be nice to have some other people to ride with, there will only be a couple of us there.

What do you have to do for practice? Join AMA or what?

[preddymoto]

in order to practice you just need to pay the entry fee. in order to race you need your ama card.

[jturkey69]

I have work this weekend but next weekend I'll be hitting up the race in Weyerhaueser. I know some people from YFZCentral will be there, I'll be there with two other guys that I ride with. One's on a Blaster and the other is on a red 400EX, I'll be on my '05 SE YFZ.

[BuB400]

Has anyone checked out the new park in Rockford, Ill. I found some info. on the place but was wondering if anyone rode there yet.

[Toadz400]

Anyone been riding at Arkansaw lately? I was just there for the day and had a pretty good time. It would've been better if there weren't a few dirtbikers there that didn't seem to care about anyone else on the track. A few times I helped little kids who had fallen over on their bikes get up and these guys on their dirtbikes would come flying right by us, not even slowing down. Really ticked me off that people can care so little about the well being of other people.

But besides those certain people the track was pretty nice, a few parts were fairly dusty but I was clearing all of the jumps after one lap. I'm thinking about going down there to race this upcoming weekend instead of Weyerhaueser. Anyone know about the Weyerhaueser track?

[bruteforce750]

anyone here from the waupaca area?

[airdog]

FYI: if anyone is looking to go riding in the Danbury/Webster area I would call to see if the trails are open. I was up there last weekend and they were closed due to fire hazards as a result of this lack of rain. It's weird because they didn't post any closing signs on the trails, but they had signs put up at the gas stations. So if your planning on going up there I would first try calling the log cabin gas station in danbury (715)656-3116.

Trails on the MN side are still open, but I'm pretty sure that the fish bowl and all of those trails are CLOSED:(

Yea I heard about that, we just got a good shower last night but I'm hoping we get more in the next couple weeks. I'm planning on going up there in about two weeks but am going to have to cancel those plans if there is no rain.

[airdog]

ya, it was kinda a bummer. We ended up floating down the st. croix on some inflatables for the whole day sunday to stay out of the heat.

I go back to school the weekend of the 20?th i think so I'm gunna try to be up there as much as I can until then. Let me know when your gunna be around

Ever been to Arkansaw, Wisconsin? There's a nice beginner's MX track there and they have a woods trail that circles around the entire area that's nice also. Some friends and I might be going there tomorrow.

[soberagain150]

hey, where about is it? tomorrow meaning sunday correct? im interested. let me know...

[Toadz400]

The track is fairly easy to find.

Here's a link to the directions. http://www.arkansawmx.com/directions.htm

I guess I won't be making it to the track tomorrow (Sunday) because I'm going up north to Ashland for my grandfather's birthday. I believe some friends of mine will still be going though. There's usually always a good amount of riders there if the weather is permitting. It's $15 a person to ride for a day.

[soberagain150]

sry about last weekend. i got cought up in alot of crap to take care of which sucked cuz it was such a nice day. should definetly plan somethin in the future tho.

Yea don't worry about it, I wasn't able to make it to Arkansaw either. I won't be able to make it down there this weekend either because I'm heading up north to visit relatives again and do some riding on my grandparent's farm land (80 acres of open fields and woods along with miles of state/county trails). I do plan on making it to Arkansaw one of these weekends before the real cold hits and I know a friend of mine would come with as he's been wanting to do some riding also but we've both been so busy lately.

I'll let you know if we plan on it some weekend and let me know if you have any weekends open or riding plans.

[soberagain150]

that sounds good. me and a couple guys from work were talkin about goin to black river falls. on the 21st (saturday). but a buddy MIGHT be having a haloween party possibly. its all up in the air now. but ill keep ya posted as well.

We need to start an ice racing series in the SE part of the state. Anyone intrested?

[Toadz400]

We need an ice racing series here in Mid-Western Wisconsin. There's a ton of lakes around here that would be perfect for ice tracks.

[BuB400]

I think the only series now is CWIRA or something like that. I looked into it but I don't feel like driving 3 hours to race.

[qwad guy]

I live in Menasha right on Lake Winnebago and the only places i know of close are on the lake when it freezes and in the field next to my house. Can anyone help me out with some tracks, trails, etc, near me. Menasha is in Winnebago County and i know of 0 riding spots around here.

[soberagain150]

that lake is a nice lake... im in mukwonago (Waukesha County), I just wanna ride my quad... its been a couple of wks now :ermm: :ermm:

[BuB400]

Its finally cold enough to make some serious ice. Who's up for some ice riding/racing?

[soberagain150]

this sunday im goin to lake beuela in east troy... pretty much just goofin off with about 4 to 7 of us...

[soberagain150]

there was 7 inches of ice last week out on that huge lake and its been flippin cold out the past wk so im sure its even thicker...

[BuB400]

wonder if the fox river is good to go, around Tichigan area.

[soberagain150]

ACTUALLY my buddy was JUST out there this sunday on his sled. and he said there was a bunch of 4x4 4 wheelers out there too. he said theres 10-12 inches on the fox river in the mukwonago/waukesha area. for some reason my buddy drove his full size f-250 across it so he could park his truck on the other side of the river for some reason. so thats enough for me to ride on it. heh. its been cold for long enough. just make sure you always ride with someone when u go on ice tho. yano? just incase. hope this helps ya

[thor_rider]

this sunday were goin out on the fox river. then goin to a lake nearby off the river they are having this "hell on ice" with setting up a tent on the lake and having a wet t-shirt contest, and snowmobile/atv drag races... pm me if anyone is interested... im guna be with a good group of 5-8 people. or also pm soberagain150 hes guna be riding with me as well. he goes on this site more than i do.

Hey everyone. I lived in Kenosha for 18 years and then Salem for a little while, I go back to visit about once a month and would like to find somewhere to ride around the WI/IL border. I'd like to go up to Black River Falls later this year. I heard that place was a little rough, have any of you been to the Mio trails in Michigan? Those are the only trails I've been to and I'm wondering how they compare. Is there anywhere close to Kenosha to ride at?

check out www.z400central.com i know theres a couple guys selling there quads with just a rolling chassis. look in the forsale section. they are selling them pretty cheap too

[xsr_racing28c]

how about getting an ice ride setup for mid winter sometime out on some lake where we can setup a good TT ice course???? I'm game!!
~Jay

[csimp3]

they usually set up a cool tt track on lake koshkonong, righ tin front of the sunset bar, i rode their last year and it was a blast, as soon as we get ice, i will definietly be going out there, anyone interested in having a little get together out there this winter?

[BuB400]

Where is Lake Koshkonong?

[chrisrzz1012]

I agree with jay about the ice racing. Where? Also how about trail riding on the cattail it starts in amery goes all over. Is anyone game on that? I'm up on alot of things too. I have 1 extra quad (2003 honda 400ex stock) I'll use my 02 400ex-racer. If anyone has a back light for I'll buy it from you.

basically we want a fullsize sport quad and dump a cheap 90 cc auto in it for our kids (5 of them) to get used to riding first

[SpeedyWho]

What size Ice screws do people use? How many are needed to do one pair of rears? I plan on ordering some ice tires and screws this week and need to know what to get.
Thanks

check www.craigslist.org i always see mini quads and mini bikes on there


as for the sqrews, if your going to do the rears you will want to do the fronts. some put as many as they can fit on there tires... 2-3 per nob on the tire for it to serve a purpose will do ya fine

[jturkey69]

Originally posted by soberagain150

yep, we have been keeping an eye on there, hopefully over the next month we can pickone or two rollers up...otherwise we will be waiting until tax returns to buy one outlander max, a scrambler or trailblzer, a couple china quads, and one roller blaster or banshee for the lil project.

[Toadz400]

For ice tires I run at least 2 screws per knob on the tire. I can't remember what size the screws are but they're probably 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch long. If they're too long you're going to puncture through the tire and have to deal with trying to keep it sealed.

Can't wait for the ice to be good enough to do some riding on!

[BuB400]

Checking on ice riding intrest and ice thickness around the state. Anyone been out on the lakes/rivers?

[soberagain150]

sadly my shocks are out to gtthunder getting rebuilt so i have been without a quad for a bit. but i hear ice is pretty thick around me.

[Toadz400]

I would imagine the ice is quite thick here in MN and WI. The past couple days have been a bit on the warm side and a lot of our snow melted today but no way the ice is going to be affected in this little of time. The temps are supposed to drop this week though. I plan on hitting up Cedar Lake this week though so I'll let everyone how the ice is.

[8greecra]

I was wondering if it is legal to ride my quad on the sled trails? half of the people i have talked to said yes and the other half said no. last week i was on them because i thought i would go a little further down than where it runs through our land and i got chased by two old gezurs trying to get me off of them. but i also went by a few other groups and they didn't do anything.

[soberagain150]

some trails are and some trails arent. you have to check with your county to check and see what are and what arent illegal to ride on.

[Toadz400]

Most of the time it's not legal to ride your quad on the snowmobile trails just because it ruins them. They spend A LOT of money on grooming the trails. It's like having your road paved then driving a bulldozer over it.

[BuB400]

Has anyone been to Fond du lac MX since the major flooding? Are they open? I haven't been there in a couple years but I thought that a canal or river ran through the property.

[DVX4ME]

I ride all the time at bentley if anyone knows where that is. its a huge atv park in the town of rome near nekoosa, right by lake arrowhead in central wisconsin. decent park lots of fun, its large enough where it can be packed with quads and never run into too many people.

[BuB400]

Ice time again! Anyone have any local events/ice races around this winter?

[joeyds450x]

im not sure about any local events but im rly pumped to run river with my new quad!

I'm in the south end of Polk County just a mile from St. Croix County. There's a few lakes to ride on around here but no ice racing events, at least for quads.

That place is tiny!!! When it's "packed" all you do is see other people. It's also heavily patrolled by the DNR. Better have headlights because there is a big fine if you don't have them up there too.

[BuB400]

Its big enough to waste a day, plus the trail takes you right over to Dyracuse park.

No way in hell is that place big enough to kill a day unless you're including all the roads outside the park area and I assume you are if you think that there is a trail in there that takes you to Dyracuse. "Bentley" is just that little sandy area. It's like 1 square mile. There's tons of good State trails in WI, FAR better then the Adams area but this state blows when it comes to parks!

[BuB400]

What ever happened to the atv park the DNR wanted to open some where in the middle of the state? It was supposed to be around 2500 acres. It was on the news last year,but I haven't heard anything since.
