I am wanting to get some of you (if any) to go for a ride in a week or 2. There are some trails taht every1 rides w/railroadtracks and jumps with mud and more. Im going there this Saturday to check it out. The ride will only be a few ppl with me and a few of my freinds and hopefully one of you! It will last all day for 1 day so dont drive out here if you are more then and hour and a half away. From what I hear its a pretty cool place to ride. Please try to come. BTW: Its a little town called "Worden" adn its about 50 miles or less from St.Louis. Surrounding towns are Alton,Bethalto,Litchfield,Staunton,Hamel.

Have you all ever been to Trail of tears State Park in Illinois??? HOT-ROD, Raptorman, Raptor#1, and me go there quite a bit... Some of the trails can get very hairy though, I would not recommend this place for a beginner at all,,, but its fun as heck though....

Im in Mt Vernon, Ill practice with you Mo, if I can have an autograph :blah

Posted by: crazyatvn

I raced but it was harescrambles sounds to me like you be a motocrosser? Am i Right?

Posted by: Mity Mo

I am a MX'er. I raced TT for a few years until a couple of really bad spills. I now have a small limp and numbness in my back from a wreck in Belleville at TT. Some kid hit a rear tire and sent me for a ride. I am in the process of building up my 89 265R for XC. Thats a project for late in the year. And if you think my autograph is worth something your even CRAZIER than I am!!!!:blah We will have to get a date together for some tarck work. Even if you do harescrambles I think practice is practice. Mo

hey guys i ride in a few spots in ohio like wellsville, youngstown, lots of Mx tracks you know a little of everything me and my buddies are looking for more sweet places to ride, wellsville is the only cool place we have, i'm from litchfield, (cleveland area) but well go anywhere this summer so if you guys got any suggestions let me know

Posted by: MSL

Hey MO if you are going to race XC then st joe would be perfect place for you to practice..

Posted by: Mity Mo

With my current ride that would be nearly impoosible to do. I have +3 LT a-arms with a width all around of about 49.5". I would end up tearing something off of it. Plus I have really low shocks. I would end up high grounded on something. As soon as I finish this R I will be practicing for XC but not with my EX. Mo:confused2
