I've filmed lots of different things but never ditch riding.. this was filmed in south central minnesota right outside of mankato on HWY 90 and HWY 83

both are fun local HWY's to ride

enjoy the video

it's legal to ride in the ditch in minnesota

and that was a whole road, not a driveway lol

and everything is legal, the only thing that isn't is jumping driveways and roads (but they dont really enforce it)

we can ride on the shoulder if theres an obstruction in the ditch and the shots on the pavement are portions of the ditch we cant ride.. just dont wanna get caught doing wheelies on the pavement, they freak out about that

Killer video and some awesome riding! Yea, here in Ohio that's one huge gray area, and the BMV spells it out about as clear as mud.

Those ditches became illegal to ride on a few years ago. i use to ride there back in the day but you'll get a ticket know.

ditch riding is fun. We have trails made to the gas station, resturant, and all our friends houses. The only thing you have to watch out for is drains/pipes.

My friends and i used to do that but at 1 in the morning haha. We would just go wide open down the roads and do a big loop around our small town. Then we go sit on top of my friends hill and watch the cops go by. Its pretty amusing.

thats a great vid all of yours are i clicked on your link and watched them great job!

but do you actually ride in them or just film because in some you state your name as a rider like in the scrambler ones but then in the newer ones there never anyone named peter

those scrambler ones are from a few years ago, i have the KTM so any videos with a ktm and bright gear and it's normally me, a few of my buddies ride ktm's so it's not always easy to tell, we were gonna make a winter riding video this year but theres so much snow now i dont think i can
