    Awesome view of the Ohio River from the top of one of the hills. I am telling you these hills are huge!

    This is not a pic I took but a view of one of the hills we climbed, you can see two quads coming down the line on the right.

    Very nice! Yeah, powerline roads are fun and those hills look sick! That trail I posted above was part of a powerline trail and I was preparing to go down the hill. Another part of the riding area has a real steep powerline hill that I didn't climb due to not having back breaks or I would've climbed that. Just climbing steep stuff with only front brakes can get a little too adventurous for my taste!

    HondaRacing83, no registration of any kind is needed to ride at Wellsville. It is pretty much anything goes there including offroad buggies and big 4WD trucks/jeeps etc... I have only been there twice so I don't know a lot about it but all the regulars suggest having someone who is familiar with the place to show you around for the first time. There are numerous cliffs and huge hills that you would not want to go down as sometimes that is the only way back up. I don't know much about the gator but it may be fine or it may not. The hills, rocks, and mudholes at Wellsville are quite a challenge, it is very extreme. Of the 9 guys on my first trip half are scared to go back, the other half say it is a once-a-year kinda trip for them and I have been back already within a month. It kinda scares me and fascinates me at the same time...
    Current quads:
    - Honda TRX 400EX - fully built 416cc motor and full XC racing setup for fast trail riding and hill climbing
    - Kawasaki Prairie 650 - work quad for around our property and main quad for the wife to ride
    - Suzuki LT80 - kids quad
    - Honda TRX 350RX - my old school hybrid MX quad from the 90's that has a 250R chassis with a built 350X motor and has now been converted into a XC setup

    Previously owned several other sport quads and a few trikes over the years.

    quadmanw, I definitely recommend it as a place to check out. As I said above, it is not for everyone and some like it and some hate it. If you are a good rider and like a good challenge I think you would like it. One cool thing is even if someone is not real adventurous themselves you can watch others who try some crazy sh*t and that is part of the experience. The pace is rather slow because of the technical riding, hills, and mud holes and overall I prefer trails I can haul *** on but it is a neat experience.

    I definitely recommend having a guide or following another group around because someone could get in serious trouble if they go down the wrong trail.

    Me and my dad and my buddies were thinking about going. All my buddies have sport quads and dirtbikes, my dad would either take his 700 grizzly or his gator. His gator actually dies well. Whoops on a rzr. Outshined all the other SxS on a poker run we went on

    If we had trails like that I'd be out trailing every day! That's awesome!

    ya, i wanted to do the powerline park AWRCS's thats tomorrow, but the guys i normally go to the races and race with are going to the poker run.

    not to mention, my g/f runs a charity event and thats tomorrow night and its jsut easier to go to the poker run and get back for htat than going to the race and getting back, so the poker run it is.


    i missed it last year, but its a serious side by side fest
