riding at croom

[The hyrbid kid]

hey what all do i need to ride at croom i know i need that lil sticker ow w.e
but were do i get it and how much does it cost.

[Chillinthemost]

you need your title

[themensh]

....and 50 bucks.

[florida gator]

you need your title

Or the VIN from your bike, DL, definately the $50.

[CABLEGUY1]

Just the VIN# of your bike and fifty dollars. And a helmet.They wont let you ride without it .

[Chillinthemost]

Did I say you need your title? Go there without it and you aint getting in.

[sct450]

called last friday they prorated the cost

it's only $45 for the rest of the year

[The hyrbid kid]

ok because in january..
all the guys from cannondale riders r having a big group ride so i needed to know..
so then do i get the pass at the gate?
and i need a title or just my bike's vin??

[ZRIDER]

You need your title!  The VIN #'s are not enough enymore.

[Old_School]

That's has been changed. I got my sticker in October and all I had to give her is my VIN and drivers license and they gave me a sticker. -Mark

[themensh]

OK! If you are going in January.......
Have your title with you  (bill of sale with VIN# if you don't)
Have a helmet
have 50 bucks. That is prorated through the year.....in July it will be 25 bucks  (50 bucks devided by half a year equals 25 bucks)

  If you don't have a title, you can go to your local tag office and get one with a bill of sale.  They will give you a receipt that is as good as a title until the title is mailed back (usually two weeks).
   I have not been to Croom yet, but looking forward to it soon.

not sure but i have a question is croom worth all the trouble?

[Chillinthemost]

that depends on what your other options are. I have better places to ride but some people dont.

[2 rut]

is a full helmet a must or will a jawless helmet pass

[themensh]

  If you mean a 3/4 helmet, that should be fine.  I would think even a 1/2 helmet would suffice.

was there last weekend and only had to give vin # and 45.00  talk to the rangers and i guess thay want the money more than the reg or title. Thing seem to be a little bit better there now .  thay have a new ranger named John who seems to understand that thay work for us very friendly unlike the woman that  that used to terrorize the campground . this is the 2nd time we have used the campground and not been harassed by tammy.

thanks chuck had 2 go buy one this is gunna b my 1st weekend here

[themensh]

  A suggestion.....if you are going to be riding trail riding with a group, be sure to get a good pair of goggles or a face shield for the 3/4 helmet.
   I bought a full face helmet and  I like it except it seems to "amplify" my quads engine noise.  Seems like the sound goes straight up into the bottom of the helmet.  It does protect my face from twigs and low hanging branches quite well.
   The helmet is a "BELL" brand that I bought at Walmart. 
  Did you say this was your first trip to Croom? I have never been, so how was it?

well chuck roast it was pretty good today road from 7 to 4 and i wont clame i saw it all but i hit the hot spots i love the steep wash out 4 wheel drive hills and of course got covered in sloppy mud if ya stay off the fence line trail you really dont see many people (well for a sat at a hot spot cinsidered) gunna play on the hills for a half day tomorrow then head home all in all in my opion its good as long as ya dont go to mutch then i think it would get  old  definetly a good weekend trip     juts my opion

[themensh]

  Thanks for the 'review'. I am going to have to move Croom up
on my list to go.
  I would only go a couple times a year probably.....so i don't think it would get to 'old' for me.     The area I ride near my house is probably not 15 acres......(that GETS OLD!).
  One trail in the area I ride..is a two-tire trail that get swallowed up with water.  In the middle of the water/trail.......is an old outboard motorboat floating.   I haven't gotten up the nerve to go out to see how deep it is...or even figure out how the boat got into the middle of the woods.......LOL
   I am still new at ATVing.....so I still smile when I see people point at my quad in the back of my truck when I am going somewhere.
  What helmet did you finally get?   When I ride street motorcycle, I usually wear a half shell, but when i got the quad, I went and purchased a full face.
  It is useful when in the middle of a pack of riders on a trail.

   later,
    Chuck

dint mean it would get old just woulnt want 2 spoil it sound like you would like it chuck so id say yes its worth your drive (took me most of 2 hours to get that clay mud off but i guss i was trying)

[DZ 350]

ya u need money at least 50 dollars and title. then make sure u have a spark arrester on your quad or dirt bike because sometimes they will nag u about having a spark arrester. also they have some pretty sweet hills there that are challenging in many different ways.  but lots of drop offs!!! the cliffs there will drop off out of no where. some times u will be riding around the cliff area and there will be an instint drop off. one of my friends crashed off one of the cliffs and totlled his front end. so watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a rookie to ATV Florida.  I'm interested in croom and have been reading the conversation.  I bought my ATV in NC, so I have a Bill of Sale and MCO, but no FL title.  It sounds like they've loosened their restrictions about having a title.  According to what you guys have said, it sounds like I shouldn't have a problem.

In reference to helmets, I just purchased a brand new Fly MX for $49, Snell 2000 and DOT approved, from the following website:
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=9080&department=201&Division=2
A wise man once told me, if you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet.  However in this case, you can get a $100 helmet for half price.

[RaptItUp]

Good job on finding the helmet bargain.

If you want a FL title/registration,  you can get one where you get car tags/titles etc... Call your closest tag agency.  I think it's a good idea in case of theft, fire or damage.  Especially if you have it insured.

[Chuluota Bulldog]

One slight little problem.  If I apply for a FL title, the state will want sales tax on an ATV that I bought in NC.  Don't know 'bout you, but $329 is a lot of money...

[2 rut]

good reason bulldog

[cubnfrank]

I got in with just my vin numbers. They didn't ask for other paper work.  I would try that before registrering your atv

[florida gator]

By "law" you are required to pay sales tax after purchasing out of state. That said, all you have ever needed to get your permit for Croom is a VIN, DL and $$.

Here is my only ?..

I have a 2004 Polaris ATP 500, there are certain criterias that your bike must meet..

My bike only meets like half of the requirements...

Will they allow me to day ride there, or is my bike not allowed AT ALL ?!?!

Tony

[florida gator]

[Ynot0323]
