Quad looks good man. I didn't even know there was a track in mexico I'm only a couple hours north of there. I dont know how far you travel but there is a track here in my hometown, Carthage IL. Its called Middle Creek MX and its worth checking out if you are ever up north.

They are stock!! I just used a 2500 grit sandpaper and the propane torch. It shined them up wonderfully!!!

Ha ha I plan on buying all of them. DWT is a sponsor of mine, so the beadlocks will be next on the list!!! I am also getting some graphics soon. lol Its all a process that requires $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

It was 10 bucks a piece, we drove 120 miles round trip. We unloaded and rode around the track 3 or 4 times. Someone was gonna get there neck broke or i was gonna destroy my quad because the track was so bad. The guy led me to believe that the track was nice and well groomed... Needless to say he didn't get my $10's... I am all for supporting these guys. But i wasn't gonna pay a liar... I mean say its wrong, but it wasn't fair for him to do that. It was amazing!!! Just reminds me how good i really am. lol

Looks better then some of the tracks we got around here and we pay $20. Haven't found a nicer or cheaper track then that.

Yeah, but you only saw the parts that were rideable.... our state parks support quads so we have three places that the state runs that are nice and its only 3buck to get in. and one has a SICK National based MX track...
