Oh, and I can't think of anywhere but mud or sand where I'd take an atv over a dirtbike. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

As far as riding over rough and/or steep terrain, bikes are much safer. I've taken so many hills on my CR250R at speed that would've killed me on a quad. And like has been said, the bike leaves you when you tumble, the (heavy) quad follows you!

As far as being excessively fast and making you want to do dangerous jumps, the bikes are much more dangerous however!

Rough terrain would make me think a quad is more stable. But i think its a matter of preference also.

A good rider could do it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] They hold a national enduro in Ohio, or at least they used to. And it was in the rainy season. If I remember right Terry Cunningham was from Ohio and would spank everyone in that race.

I looked on google and they held a National Enduro in Southern Ohio last Sunday. Only 15 riders finished! Mike Lafferty won. He was on a KTM. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Check and see where Terry Cunnigham grew up in Ohio. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

So, could clay be used in a cooler?

yea i agree with these guys dirtbikes are much easier to fall on but people on quads tend to overdoo it because they dont feel like they are gonna flip.

Oh good god no! That is one thing I don't think is preferance, on the rough terrain a bike is the way to go. At least if your going at it with any speed.
