Paridise/Gaylord MI

I am going to be out in the Paradise Mi area in June any suggestions for good riding in the area? We will then be going down to the Gaylord area for a few days so any suggestions in that area would also be appreciated.

Thanks John

New rider here,going to Bear Creek Canton,Ohio

I just purchased a new grizzly and my son and I will be hitting the trail soon,I think were going to go to bear creek for our first trip as it seems the closest to me and pretty cheap.

My son has a Wolverine 450 and I should have my 700 grizzly this weekend so were just looking to tool around and get the feel for our bikes and do some novice trail riding.

So if your in the area and go up there and feel like showing a couple of newbs around or are a Newb yourself and looking for someone to go with let me know.

Short-course UTV races for PA, OH & WV riders sponsored by Thunderhawk

Thunderhawk Performance is sponsoring short-course UTV races at Rolling W Ranch in West Sunbury PA, which is about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA and 125 miles east of Cleveland, OH. This is a natural-terrain short-course track that is easy on machines and is perfect for a regular-guy to bring his trail-ridden UTV for a day of fun, affordable racing. With stock, modified and power-adder classes, there is a place for everyone from the first-time-racer with a stock RZR to more experienced racers with modified UTV’s.

Let me tell you about the track. Rolling W Ranch is a natural-terrain short-course track that is approximately 0.6 miles long, is built on a hill-side with a 250 foot elevation change, is wide enough to avoid contact with other racers and to allow room for easy passing, and you can run your UTV wide-open on a natural-terrain layout that features a few low-flying jumps that do not result in hard, nose-down landings (like you would find on an MX track). Oh, and there are no trees anywhere near the track, so you won’t have any GNCC-style carnage either

The 2015 race schedule is listed below:
