nice videos... have to be cautious with the roof supports and the lack of flaggers during prcatice.

Do they run any sanctioned races there? AMA?

 

Vimeo is one of the only video upload services that supports High Definition Video. I have one of the first generation true 720p camcorders and the output video is nothing less than amazing. Youtube doesn't compare right now, but I'm sure they will be soon ... they'll have to. Thanks for watching the videos!

MNRAP: Actually, they have rotating yellow beacon lights when there is a caution on the track. A staff member is watching the practice from above, and whenever there is an incident, the yellow light will activate nearest the incident. It's actually pretty decent compared to most tracks I've been to. They even activate the light if a 50cc tips over during the 50/65 practice. They separate A/B Bikes, C Class Bikes, Quads, and 50/65s. With this new track layout, it's a lot safer.

By the looks of the outside walls, people have certainly had the opportunity to test the impact resistance of metal since they opened. Hopefully nobody has been unlucky enough to tag a post yet :-O

They hold their own winter and summer season races for the time being. I guess District 23 likes to hold on sanctioning new tracks until they are established for a while. A new track opened south of New Ulm this month as well, and the owner of that track told me a similar story.

Seriously guys, can you get each others E-Mail addresses and take your discussion off this thread? I was reading with interest the sound level enforcement in the Wisconsin area, but when people are subscribed to this thread, I'm sure they would rather not get E-Mails every 10 minutes about personal banter. I can watch Maury weekdays at 1pm to get drama. Lets just try to stay on topic here... Remember when we used to ride? Haha.</end quote></div>

klier excellent suggestion and makes a hell of alot of sense.

This is the second time between you two that I know of. The last being 02/13/2008 05:01 PM.

If I see any one of these two screen names again in my email your out.

 

Workin_hard247 find out how much he wants for the 01 EX and the mods thanks

 

Hey Tapper going to get a 400ex... Great all around quad..

 

Yeah im considering it. I don't want to spend to much money. I think you def. get what you pay for on the ex reliability wise. and mods are cheap. My wallet isn't to large since the accident [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] but i should be ready to ride in 3-4 weeks!

 

Tapper

Are you still going to school in addition to working like you had mentioned last year?

 

Yeah im still in school, it ends in may so then just working till next fall then more school. But not working yet might go back in a few weeks. Need to make some $$$. and a quad!

 

not easy being that age and going to school plus work.. you want all the nice things but can't apply all your time to just working and making money. When I was your age I couldn't even think about affording a qaud.. had all I could handle with a car, insurance, school tuition and rent.


Anyone that is interested in checking out other ride areas should look into riding in the Black Hills of South Dakaota.

"Stories of prime trails in the 1.2 million acre Black Hills Nat. Forest are what got our interest up, along with the fact there is 5000 miles of primitive roads that criss cross the forest and they are considered "open unless closed". What that means is that everything is open, unless its specificly gated or posted."


Here is a photo thread from another forum to provide an indication of what you might encounter...everything from forest road to tough single track.

Yeah its not easy. But hopfullly make it work out. Most likley a 400ex is my budget and eventually work some money up to make upgrades on it. first thing would be an ims tank..

The Black hills looks great! One question is there places to get fuel around there?
