I live up by St.Joseph,Mo and have a few places to ride but am always looking for more. I would like a place to do some flat tracking, any around that you know of? I do alot of woods riding and hill climbing but at 43 I'm getting to old to try to kill myself everytime I get on my Banshee.

hey batman, we live bout an hour west of you. been also lookin for new places to ride, where do you ride ? we have some nice trails north of rulo. we're also older riders, prefer the slower rides, challenging, just slower (don't heal like i used to). we are headed to lil sahara the last weekend of march.
get back with us

 

There is a place off of Highway 185 near Potosi Mo, St Francis County, Called E-bo, That probably has what your looking for. It has everything. Sand Dunes, Dried up lake beds, Mud bogs, Lots of Trails. It is in or near the Mark Twain National Forest. About another Hour east of there take Highway 8 into Park Hills, to St Joe's State Park. This place has about the same kind of riding just more of it. Lots more trails

Hope this helps.

 

I thought E-bo was shut down to riding?? I know people still sneak in the back way and ride.... I ride at St. Joe State Park almost every weekend.

I don't know if it is officially closed or not. I do know You do need a vehicle with a little ground clearnce to even get into e-bo. If its closed there still is just as many people riding there. I live about 20 min from Ste Joe, But havn't had a chance to ride my new Grizzly there yet.

 

Theres a place down by the casino in St Joe that has some nice trails, it would be worth your ride down to play there. Its all bluffs and runs a long ways with some nice hills and trails. I am 43 but sometimes think I'm 23 with a death wish. I guess its the 2 stroke the Banshee has, I just love how it runs...

i've seen bikes unloading in that area. do they run to the north ? btw, we're also 44 and ride 500 scramblers

 

Yes they run north on that bluff go check it out. I have a guy I work with that just got a 4X4 500 Polaris and he loves it, I was thinking about getting one myself.

theres a pretty cool TT Track in Sikeston.

 

Hey Batman I lived in St. Joe until '98. I have a Banshee too. I have a few fun places I go to a lot. Perry Lake north of Lawrence,KS. I go to Deepwater south of Clinton,MO. I also go to Fingers Lake in Columbia a few times a year. They are all fun. Mostly all are woods but Deepwater and Columbia have tracks. Around Topeka,KS I heard of a track. Then I heard of Milford and Randolph out by Manhatten,KS. The last two are rocky but supposedly have a lot of wide open places. Hope this helps you.
