Hey Guys! I live in Annapolis, Md and have ridden just about Everywhere! Im always looking for Serious Riders that wanna join me sometime up in Pennsylvania for a full day of hard core trail riding. I ride up there most of the time now and Ive been riding the local trails for years and know well over 500 plus miles of free riding. I ride all day 8 to 10 hours, have fuel and food stops along any given loop and log anywhere from 80 to 140 mile per ride. If your interested I have a web site link or just PM me ~Coop

Nice website, I love the hill climb pic's....is that up at Tower City? The tunnel photos were nice to, it reminds me of a place my buddies and I used to ride outside of Frostburg. Welcome to the site.

Posted by: MarylandATVcom
Thanks for the Welcome!
Nope not Tower City, Most of the Biggest Hill Climbs are North and West of Tower City. All of the Photo's on my Site are all locals Trails, and the Tunnel is one of a few I hit sometimes on a days loop? I really like the Pennsylvania terrain because there is a great mix of everything! And its funny how a lot of it looks the same sometimes! But not always fun when your 50 miles out and lost!~LOL -coop

Coop... I did a great trail ride up around Shamokin and Treverton Pa. Wanted to get over to Centraila, ( the abandon town on fire underground), but didn't get a chance. Is that where you guys are riding? The hillclimbs at Treverton were amazing! I would love to do another with someone familiar with the trails. -Chris

Is this all legal riding areas?
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
cool pics on the site Coop.... Do you guys do rides for the sport quads? I noticed most of the shots were of utes. I would love to get all the guys together for a fun ride. I think it is time for us to start working on ideas since the race season is over. Let the suggestions begin.....Oh and I am sure some of you MX guys have second quads to join in on the fun!
Posted by: MarylandATVcom
I ride where Locals have been riding for many many years. The biggest thing is we Respect the Land, We don't Pollute, We stay away from Posted and Keystone Game Land and don't ride certain areas during Hunting Season. I have NEVER had a Problem. I think The biggest thing that ruins it for all of us, is People, Drinking and Drugging on the trails, getting Out of Control, Vandalizing other Peoples Property etc. etc. If anyone out of control EVER joined me on a Ride? I would take them WAY out into the middle of Giant Black Bear Country, Drop the throttle and leave them there! Even those you shouldn't feed the Animals I think in this case it would be ok. 
-LOL
I ride both Sport and Utility, It just depends on who I'm riding with? Also Don't tell My Prairie its a Utility? Its just an extra large 4x4 Sport Quad! that doesn't know it once had racks?-LoL. If you Race or are looking for Training? And want to get together sometime just let me know? I guarantee No Matter WHO you are? At the end of the day you'll feel it.

Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Coop~ I saw the pics of the Kaw it is ready for action that is for sure. I think you will find that the majority of the guys in this thread share your feelings on riding. I am looking to get something going next weekend. It is a four day weekend for most and it is the week before hunting opens. I don't care where I go I just want to go riding.

JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM GOING UP TO GREENRIDGE THIS SAT, I WAS THERE 2 WEEKS AGO WITH ERIC (Ericthered rdr) OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "THE PROFESSOR"
IF YOU ARE INTO 70 PLUS MPH AND HANGIN IT OUT ON TRAILS AT 1500 FT THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.
I AM NOT GOING TO RACE BLUE DIAMOND DUE TO $$, QUAD ISSUES, $$ AND BEING LAPPED BECAUSE DISTRICT 7 REALLY ONLY HAS 2 QUAD HS CLASSES, FAST AND REALLY FAST.
PM ME IF YOU WANT TO MEET UP AND RIDE.
Posted by: redhondi400
you guys hit any good free trails in PA hit me up. Is there any sound restrictions at greenridge? How much does it cost to get in their?
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
greenridge= $15 permit that you can get there.
"PROFESSOR".... I didn't teach you nothing you didn't already know....... how to go down trails WFO. I did kinda remind me of a Pikes Peak race
Posted by: cletusEX
I'm looking to ride somewhere. I just put a twist throttle on and am looking to get some time on it. My brother was talking about Rausch Creek but he might have to work.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Seatec what are your plans for tommorrow? I am headed to Greenridge it looks like.
Posted by: kwatts400
Just a heads up to anyone going to Blue Diamond tomorrow, the race is going to be for bikes only. I went there today for a little while and ended up talking to one of the guys who is organizing the race. It sounded like a pretty fun loop until he said all the trails were going to be single track.

Posted by: 250RXCrider
Any of you Maryland boys going riding today?
Posted by: 400exvette
oh yea!!!!! just doin a little practice / play ridin behind Ron's house. I'm taking it easy on the wrist for a little while longer so I'll leave the cast on for another weekend. I'll be using the 400ex cause I have the shocks off the 450 waiting to be sent to C&D for a makeover
....hey everything else is the world is getting makeovers....why not my shocks . Later
Posted by: gate_keeper_32
Yep, I will be riding a little bit, but I really dont have a place I can really let-r-rip at around here. I need to hook up with someone and haul my quad there. I am getting bored by myself.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
I am going to Greenridge on Friday. I am taking my kids and possibly might take my camper and stay overnight there. Gate_ if you want a place to let -r-rip than you would love this place!

Hey man, that sounds fantastic. Maybe sometime we can get together and go there for a day. Maybe we can even take our kids. I have an 11 year old that loves riding as much as I do, I think that would be great.
Where is this place at? Is it anywhere near Forest hill?

gate_ Greenridge is about a halfhour past Hagerstown about 155 miles from Forest hill. I am only about 15 minutes from where you are and I think we all suffer from the same thing.....Nice quads and no place to ride. I think I am just going to break down and join Tower city for next year. I hate the fact that I am just about two hours from any legal place to ride.

update for tomahawk...
chad will be putting in a quad only track this winter
Posted by: pgregg85
where is there room for another track?
Posted by: Pappy
from what i understand it will be on the left as you come into the track.
i will be talking with him about it. any input will be relayed
Posted by: pgregg85
Does that mean no more quads on the big track?
Posted by: Pappy
quads will still have full reign on any part of the facility. this will be a track designed for the quads so it should be more quad friendly for the average rider.
Posted by: YLW400
IF they have any more races there, I assume they will be held on the "quad" track...
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Happy Thanksgiving guys
I will be riding on Sunday....not sure where yet but I will have my boys with me.
I started my new job Mon and let me tell you it feels good to be back at work again after a 3 1/2 month layoff. I volunteered to work Friday and Saturday I missed working so much...actually I needed the money for xmass

I think that might be a good place to head to. I will have my two sons so if they are kid friendly there then I will head there. If not I might just go to Greenridge and let them ride there.

I think they are pretty kid freindly. I have been there before when they let only the kids on the track to run a few laps. They also have that small MX course down by the big table top where I have seen kids racing around.

This Sunday you are allowed to hunt in Md. You guys have fun and try not to blow up them freshly rebuilt motors.

I just finished tearing the swingarm and all the shocks off of my 450r or I would meet you guys up there Sunday so you could see how many times you could lap me .What the heck,I might ride up anyway just to watch.I haven't had any luck hunting so far,watching 'fo wheelas rip around the track sounds like a good idea.

I've always looked at game laws as more of a set of guidelines and not actually set in stone rules.

Posted by: seatec
well guys, RTSE440 and i rode up at rausch on Saturday and it was a blast the natural terrain track is a lot of fun. some good novice jumps that are hard to f*ck up (even for me) and some good high speed stuff. finally got to redeem my exrider voucher there so basically had a cheap ride. anybody else do anything fun?
Posted by: checkster
i have been going to graysons. man somebody has been keeping up on the track grooming and there are some sick jumps. its been as nice as the landing lately. there were tywo bob cats there today. nice 50 foot table, couple doubles, and 4th ger pinned up hit single. its been the cats *** lately.
Posted by: D-7#61-450r
Hey Pappy its good to here that quads might be getting a little respect out at Tomahawk. It just might be what I needed to hear to return there next year. A track designed for quads with no dirt bike rutts, and quad friendly jumps is a major plus.
Posted by: kwatts400
I worked all weekend. Next weekend I'm off, so I'm going to try to go somewhere. Should be either Rausch or Ashland.

It was a muddy mess, but after an hour with the pressure washer she looks as good as new
Brian tagged a tree and broke his spindle so that ended his day. It was fun to get out and we should get a ride organized over these next weekends.
Later,

you are right about the ride we need to get together for a fun ride.
Hey who did all of the aluminium work for you guys??? I think it was Brian.....I need a skid plate made for Tommy's Kasea. Nobody makes them and I don't have access to a welder. If you think he might be interested in a little project let me know

Yeah we killed a few. I busted 2 whitetail does in the middle of the day Saturday. Dad killed a 6 point sika deer Saturday night with Chip hunting with him. He was excited with his first 6. Me and Dan went out hunting Sunday, in the middle of the day, by boat to an island. As soon as I climbed up the stand I could see a real nice 6 point sika in the marsh so I told Dan to hurry up and climb up. He climbs up and shoots a real nice 6 point sika. It all happened in like 10 seconds. It was funny we both had the scopes on it and he kept waiting. I said "If you don't shoot that deer by the time it gets to that tree, I will." Needless to say he shot it, he knows me to well. How did your old man do?

You game Chris?
Posted by: 400exvet
Hey all! I finally took that stupid cast off my arm and I am ready to roll .... It feels real good, I heard that ATV riding was the best therapy for it . I whimped out and never got my shocks done while I was laid up 
. Oh well maybe next year. Where is Grayson's? Is it strictly MX?
Ronny and I are riding somewhere? on Sunday when he gets back from the Banquet. Anyone else going to the banquet? Maybe he'll be hungover and I'll be able to keep up .
Nick, you been practicing on that twist throttle?
James, how was Brian's new motor? Must have been a little more than he expected if he couldn't keep it out of the trees . You guys ridin Sunday? Later
Posted by: cletusEX
I haven't really got any time on the twist throttle with gun season starting. I'm actually getting ready to head back down to the eastern shore for a couple days. My brother and I were talking about riding somewhere on Sunday. I don't know where but we both need to get some riding in. We'll see what happens.
Posted by: 250RXCrider
Hey Doug....Brian's bike runs well as for the tree I just think that was rider error, but then again he only broke a spindle I am not going to make the banquet, but if Ronnie see's any of our year end plagues can you have him grab them? As for riding on Sunday I would love to go somewhere.
Nick.....where are you and Dan thinking about riding?

mmmm...dunno. Is this place legal? I mean I'd really hate to pi$$ off the land owner if we're not supposed to be there. I know how I feel when I catch people riding here that were not invited. Not to mention any repercussions from the local 5.0.
Posted by: RUTHLESS
FYI, I WOULD NEVER RIDE A QUAD AT graysons
IT IS BARLEY WIDE ENOUGH FOR A DIRTBIKE
LET ALONE A QUAD
IT IS A CHOPPY, DUGOUT TRACK ON THE SIDE OF A HILL
IF YOU LIKE ARM PUMP AND SINGLE LINES
THEN TAKE A BIKE THERE
Posted by: seatec
Yes, i remeber it being rough as well but now it apparently has been groomed. its not very wide so there is no reall passing. Beats not riding at all.
If not that then easton maybe?

I was thinking the same thing tonight on my way home from work. I skipped out on the Southern MD ATV Park this past Sunday. My friend was taking his daughter and I really didn't want to feel like I was intruding on family time. Seems like I made a good call because they said it was muddy as h*ll there, otherwise they thought it was pretty nice.
Anyone else up for Easton on Sunday?
Honda5, Jrspawn?
Posted by: Honda5
I am out for a while I threw my back out and pinched something and don't have much use of my left leg. they are sending me in for a lower mri when the swelling on my spine goes down.(the way I chicken out on the BIG jumps you wouldn't think I have a spine!)
Posted by: jrspawn
Hey, i think we are planning on going to seaford sunday, hopefully. But it al depends on the weather, right now it doesnt look good with all the rain. Its supposed to hold off sunday, but with all the other days raining, it gonna be a mud hole probably.

Well my x-mas bonus from work just about paid off my bill. I got the motor back around 2 today, I had it mounted in, in about 30 minutes, I spent the rest of the afternoon doin everything else, then from 5:30-7 I spent troubleshooting stuff, bad grounds and crap, I had to wire the hourmeter differently... Still havent run it because the guy that rebuilt it wants to be there when I start it to make sure the oil pump isnt air locked. Its muddy as hell anyway, tomorrow I got school work all day, monday I have school all day then tuesday I have work until 3:30. Im having a fire for the first time party tuesday night!!! It does turn over and everything works....
What I had done...
JE 10.8:1 416 piston
Hotcam stage 2
port and polish and match port
new valves and valve seals
heavy duty cam chain
black coated frame
ITP 190 rims
them tires (generic razrs, 6-ply and CHEAP, cant remember the name "DriveX" or something)
new bushings and bearings here and there
new brake pads
bled the brakes front and back
New sprockets and chain
Rewired the neutral light switch (haha and broke it again, I didnt crimp the end right, gotta get some more spade terminals tomorrow)
cleaned up the exhaust a little better
hourmeter
some other things......

Might be selling or trading the KFX for a utility quad (Seatec any interest ) I am in a training program with my new job and if I get hurt I am out of the program and out of a job. Racing is way out of the question for the next year. I am thinking about just getting a utility to keep me slowed down. (like I need any help) So if anybody has an interest in a nice quad set up for XC stock suspension but has hipers and all the other goodies. I am looking for a Grizzly or might buy one of those new Suzuki king quads. If somebody has a nice ute in good condition I will trade and add cash. This situation sucks but my career is more important to me. I might just sit this year out and let my kids race, at least that will still get me out to some of the races.

Sorry to hear that Eric, but that probably is the smart decision.
Posted by: RTSE440
How come the smart decisions always STINK!! ?
Eric..I think Seatec might be looking to get rid of the Grizz. That thing is practically brand new. Can't hurt to ask.
Sandbagger......don't know what you're talkin bout. Okay...last time at Rausch I DID pass this one lady....but she was a 600lb albino Chineese lady riding an old Honda Big Red three-wheeler...in reverse. I set her up good and took her in a high banked corner. If she'd of had a twin sister...I'd a passed her too!

Eric, i dont want to trade but ill work with you if you want to buy the Grizz. You can still race the ute class with this thing.

YOu are a sandbagger. Guys, dont believe a word he is saying. He is flying up there at Rausch creek. Am having a very hard time keeping up with him.
btw. i need advice on what shocks and a-arms to get for MX.
Needs to be sturdy since im 240 lbs dry on the hook.

Might be interested but I got to get through the holidays before I decide what I am going to do.
BTW I know they have a UTE class but the object is to calm down some for about a year....actually I am considered a trainee until May of 2006. They are spending about a 1/4 mill to train me so I am not going to blow this one. I figure 18 months of laying low is a fair trade for the start of a new carreer.

I think you could hurt just as easy on a ute as a sport quad. The only thing that is going to make you safe is your own common sense. And definetly stay away from the racing those starts are pretty nutz. I will tell you my best crashes have been out cruising around with the guys. BTW congrats on the new carreer, that is a good sign when a company is investing that kind of money in it's employees

Its a mith you dont rider slower on a Utility then a Sport Quad, I past a LOT of Sport Quads in the GNCC ride I did . For me I even feel I can ride much faster in the woods on My Prairie then I can on my 785 or 250r? even those the sports quads have more top end.
If your thinking you just need to slow down and dial back and cant do it on your KFX? 
You wont do it on a BIG toy when that thumb is itching to juice it!~LOL ~coop

What GNCC did you race? I know the top utility guys haul ***** and the utility quads keep getting faster. But as much time as my quad spends on top of me I'll stick with a lighter sport quad.
Posted by: seatec
Let me just set one thigns straight here. I never said nor will i ever say that ute quad racers are slow or that it is in any way shape or form less dangerous. i merely commented that if he has a ute and should gte the itch he could still do a race in that class.
I know for sure that i rather roll over with a sport quad (350lbs) than a ute (600lbs).
Glad i cleared that up. continue.
Posted by: seatec
Eric,
I am putting the ute in the bargaineer for 5800 bux today. need to beat the deadline for this weekend. if you want it then you got it and ill just tell people that its sold. We'll talk price if your inetrrested. call me at home. will pm phone or you can swing by tonight

This could turn into a dilema. Easton or Rausch on Saturday. Who you ridin with on Saturday Justin? Maybe we should all shoot for Easton and do a Rausch trip another day (I may be able to make the Kenny Wayne Shepherd show in Baltimore if I ride Easton). I might save myself an hr. drive time too.

I plan on being there along with Pgregg. I need to try out my new motor.
Posted by: YLW400
Hey Delaware...do you know a guy named, Berry from over my way?? Older guy who used to race with you?

He seems like he is a mess....lol He seemed liker he was ready!
Posted by: RTSE440
Well, it looks like seatec and I are going to be joining you guys at Easton. We'll hit Rausch another day. We'll shootin' for 9:30...ish. Hope to see you guys there. Look for a BIG green Ford F350 King Ranch and a blk and silver Dodge Ram...That'll be us (a blue and a white YFZ + a Z250.)
Les & Diangelo.....how about Easton guys?

how did the day go guys? had to work for crying out loud
Posted by: kwatts400
I did more talking in Easton then riding, but it was a good afternoon.
Posted by: RTSE440
It turned out to be a beautiful day at Easton. Seatec and I got there about 10:00. Got to meet kwatts400 a little later. Yeah we did talk a good bit too. Did get plenty of riding in though. I'm beat. Saw Honda 5 ,( and his better half ), too. Hope you get well soon Dave!
Didn't get a chance to meet the other guys yet. From the looks their riding skills..( air time ), they are pretty good. The jumps on the track that they were on are beyond me at this point . Lots of credit to them.
Looking forward to a Rausch Creek trip soon.
Posted by: kwatts400
It's pretty cool to meet new people from the site, and put some more faces with names. Can't wait for the Rausch ride. Hopefully I'll be able to bring a few guys with me.

Man, i needed that ride in Easton. felt good to cruise around the track again. not as nice as Rausch but it will do. Glad to meet you kwatts. cool trx too. (psst get that HMF.)
Hope we can ride up atr Rausch soon. Sorry we didnt get to talk to pgregg and delaware. Only saw you guys when i was pulling out to leave.
later

Hey, It was definetly a nice day to ride saturday at easton, probably the last nice day of the year though. I had a ton of fun out there with everyone, im still tryine to learn my new bike, and not feeling to confident on it yet, but im sending the shocks out hopefully this week, and hopefully thats my problem. I have to give some big credit to Delaware152 out there, especially when he passed by Ricky Carmichell, no no, i meant Chad Reed, or maybe that was Bubba Stuwart, oh, my bad, that was just #31 some loud mouth on a bike that thought he was as good as one of those riders It just seems that some people on bikes just cant admit to it when a quad is faster than them, and i think delaware proved that he was definetly faster than him. PGregg, ill see if i can contact natalie some time and give hime a heads up the next time he's at rausch or a "real track" to watch out, that #31 is a lot faster than him, and to get out of his way That was the best laugh ive had in a while.

Yea you missed it. You could have had a good laugh. I put a nice pass on him but I guess next time I'll just clip his front tire and see what happens. Another than the mouth running it was a good day on riding. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you guys

I will be there! Are you going to need to charge the battery on the ol'e 416
Posted by: D-7#61-450r
I hear you XC boys just have to do a lap around the MX track no actual race for mx. The same setup they ran at last years hangover. Woods, circle track, Mx track. It should be a blast and I hear a couple of big names from XC come to race.
Posted by: 400exvet
We'll definately be there. Hopefully, I'll have my GT Thunder rear link and shock set-up to try out! My wrist is back to 100% and I think I am ready to go. Ron and I have been ridin a little. We are also going to try to get to the next 6 hour race in N.C. sometime in Feb. bbbrrrrrrr! anyone else going?
Nick, have you gotten used to your twist yet?

That would require riding. I haven't been on my bike since tomohawk. Too much hunting. I hope to get out a few times between now and then, since I'm done with classes for a few weeks. If not then no better place to learn than in a race. It will be nice seeing everyone again.
James, I think I'll be alright I go out and start it every once and a while.

so guys,
am ready to order my elka quad rate ssd LT and rear triple rate.
i think ill stick with the piggy backs.
QUestion,
what lon travel a-arms to get? burgard or LSR DC$'s?
Also, will the people i am ordering this from know how long the shocks need to be ? i seen anything from 18.5 to 19.5 lenght required.
Merrry X-Mas you bums.

The Burgards' look pretty nice.....
Posted by: seatec
also, im ordering a tucker swing arm. should i stick with the stock lenght?
Posted by: jrspawn
Hey, i had Burgard arms on my Z before i switched to gibson on it. You cant beat them for the price. The quality of them isnt gonna be as good as the lonestar, but for an ameture rider you cant go wrong with them. I would call burgard and verify what shock lengh to use, and just specify it when ordering the shocks, i know some of the arms out there today take different lenghs, why, i dont know, i would think the longer shock would always be better, but i guess not.

Thanx spawn.
is it a problem to run a 9 " rear for mx? whats the advantage of a 8" rear wheel?
Posted by: jrspawn
From what i understad, its just that the 8" gives you more sidewall on a 18' tire than it would on a 9" rim, i guess the sidewall almost acts as an obsorbant.
justin
Posted by: seatec
THats what i figured. Wanted to make sure i wasnt forgetting anything. i am asking because i'd hate to buy another set of rear hipers just for one more inch of sidewall.
Posted by: YLW400
you can give a set to me Seatec it is Christmas!!!
Posted by: jrspawn
Yeah, since its like christmas time, i could use a spare set. I'd really appreciate it.
justin
Posted by: seatec
yeah why don't you guys send me a wish list. i need some toilet paper.
Posted by: RTSE440
Hey if I gotta buy 8's then so do you!!!
Posted by: D-7#61-450r
Another advantage of the 8" is turf tamers. You cannot buy a 18" turf on a 9" wheel. Not that that matters anymore because holeshot says it all.
Justin why do you want another set of hypers you are already trying to sell the ones you have?
Everyone have a Merry Christmas. Hope everyone gets what they want. (except faster quads like a 450 for 187).
Posted by: jrspawn
Hey, i was accually just trying to get seatec to buy me a set if he was gettin some Reason im getting rid of mine is because i want a set of shamrocks for my new bike, im having everything totally repowder coated, and i want to have the wheels done also, plus i've always loved the looks of the shamrock wheel. So im just gonna sell the hipers or trade for the other wheels.
justin
Posted by: D-7#61-450r
Thats cool Your new quad was already pretty pimp. It should look real good once you go back threw it. Hope your new quad changes your luck at Budds next year. I know you didn't have the best of luck this year.
Posted by: jrspawn
Hey, yeah my goal this year for budds is to finish a complete race there, both motos. Lets see, first race there, first moto, come out in the front part of the pack doing good then have a tie rod end break at the top of one of the big down hills( that was full of braking bumps) so needless to say, i wrecked pretty good. Second time there, finish one moto in top part, other moto my carrier breaks and cocks the axle. Last time there on my new quad, first lap of practice the bike "Grenades" the spark plug, ive never seen it happen before, but..... thats my "Budds Creek Luck". so i specated that race also.
