I know about flat river I want some where closer that 1 hour away I live in Belleville. I get tired of flat river sometime. Also with gas prices my V10 F350 with my 20' enclosed trailer is hard on the wallet going to St Joe.

No I never flat tracked my bike is set up for woods racing (XC) I went to tailerville once I was not impressed the woods were like a swamp and way to wide open. the motocross track was ok if that is what you like.

aim - nbzerofive
yahoo - nickblackwell17

Posted by: kbass24emtp

Flat River will not kill your bearing. Use to ride there alot before most the park was closed down. Now its too busy for me.

Posted by: Scott-300ex

got ya blackwell, on aim

and the people your talkin to don't know what they're talkin about

flat river is awsome, you'll only hurt somethin if your completely stupid, but thats the same anywhere

there is

-sand flats
-mud
-billions, and yes i said BILLIONS of trails
-whoops are everywhere, harder ones, like, 2 feet high and a
quad length apart, i run threw them in 3rd gear, lol, fun times

-other stuff but you ain't ganna hurt your BEARINGS

, i don't know why they hell they would say bearings...............don't make sense, unless they think you'll get sand in them but come on, i don't get them

you ever been down there?

Posted by: blackwell17

yah ive been there 3 times...its quite a drive from Highland, but worth it in my opinion!

lets all get together and have a exriders.com day lol..im up for it (sundays are perfect for me)

Posted by: Scott-300ex

I'm up for it
