I call that a gravel road , a trail to me is something a 4wd truck could not get down and no ATV could get over 25mph before its sent into the trees.

Here is what a call a trail , something that does not allow anything over 52" wide to fit down, let alone come face to face with a Mini-Van.

Good for you man, give yourself a pat on the back!

You can call it a runway for all i care. It's my video & ill call it whatever I want to call it. If you dont like it don't watch, quit being a troll on all my posts.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice raptor and a nice place to ride. Glade to see you avoided the car in time. Could have been bad.
Lol, careful he might think your serious & feel entitled to some sort of trophy. Thanks for watching and appreciate the positive comment! Ya it could have been real bad, i tried my best to play it off all cool though lol.

We all have different ideas of what is what, or which is best.

I would hope we could all respect the differences.

That's why I said he can call it a runway for all i care. It is best if he makes his own post about it, instead of complaining/trolling on all my posts about eveyrthing. Especially since I don't even care what he has to say lol

And I know quite a few dirt bike guys that would call the trail in your video to wide to be true single track...

Great Vid black_thunder, I enjoy them, keep them coming!

I've gotten up over 40 mph on the straight dirt trails- the back woods trails maybe average anywhere between 15-25 mph-
but in the northern new england mountain trails I'd be lucky to get over 5-10 mph.

my definition of a trail is "anything that's not a road"

here's how the average trail looks around here from our rides... although, the 1000 rotax gets me up to speed quite fast on the short straights between washouts and is magical for catching some good air over berms and ruts

Depending on where you are on the trail where we ride at, will determine how much room you have. Some parts, it's like a 4 lane of sand. other parts it's a challenge to fit between the trees.

But no matter where we were, we never had a truck go flying past us.
