I may have us a new place to ride .

[J.D.]

I am getting the opportunity to talk with a land owner with 1000 acres that might possibly let us use it for a riding area . He uses it for ag purposes and is open to the possibility . We will have to pay but anything is better than nothing . It is not yet a for shure , but it is in the works . I am hoping to give him an aggressiv trail system with a drag and special 4x4 area while to being able to use some of the land for agriculture .As I said before it is just in the begining . For everyone that wants the Dealers to step up , I'm trying . Keep your fingers crossed . I will keep you informed . I am using Durahmtown as the example

[J.D.]

If I needed people to help me sweep his entire property " more than 1000 acres" for exotic plants would some of you in the South FL area be willing to give  some time for the cause?

[J.D.]

I'm glad people are willing to help . It is in the beginnings so it will take some time . we will see how it goes .

I'll be there.

[kawGIRL]

We can help too  

[J.D.]

I just want everyone to know it isstill in the early stages but I am trying to build up a little support to show The landowner just how bad this area is needed . I have alot of ideas that he likes , but it never hurts to have more .

[Eworm]

JD: let us know. I have a big crew that's willing and able to do what is needed to better our riding areas in S.Florida

[J.D.]

Cool  ,When and if it works out , keep your fingers crossed .

[jackinthebox23]

count me in.  

[J.D.]

Just got off the phone , They like my ideas . " I have 2 well known biologists backing me up . We will meet on Feb 2nd . I will let you know that the area is south of FT. Pierce . I hope it all works out .

Just an IDEA: if you can crunch some numbers and give an idea of what will be needed ($$$) then I can start to prepare my crew. Perhaps a yearly fee or monthly. Maybe a lease or something. I also have a lawyer friend if you need some legal advice.

[J.D.]

After the meeting I will have a little more info . If we could move this thread to places to ride I would like peoples opinion or ideas . It would help . As an ATV enthusiast I have a good idea but tell me what you would like .

[Eworm]

you probably thought of this already, but here it is anyway:

One way trails.
Also, dirt roads cutting through the trails to easily access the main area in the event a bike has mechanical problems while on the trails and needs to be towed back.



I will be posting ideas as I get them from my crew.

[J.D.]

That is what we want . This is what I have . A one way sport bike trail around the perimiter of the property with table tops , whoops and alot of turns that will kinda double back to stretch out overall distance . Along inside of the sport will be a 4x4 area with some mud but alot of challenges "not just mud "  And a 300 ft drag with 200 ft shutdown . The key is we have to set it up to maintain the integrity of the agricultural land in the center of the property . I know it will not be free like the forests , but we can make it fun and make changes on a quarterly basis .Also I am suggesting the use of flags . Do ya'll feel I am on the right track ? If not tell me it wont hurt my feelings " that much " [smiley=Cry.gif]

I think, you are right on brother. Sounding very good and like  something all ATV enthusiasts can enjoy. What would you think about those new 2 wheel things they call dirt bikes?

[J.D.]

 If the bikes dont mid tabletops instead of doubles it is cool with me . I started on 2 wheels . We just have to have flags , that will help out the bikes .

[jackinthebox23]

I think you are right on with the plans.  I'm a utility quad guy myself, so I may be making an ignorant statement, but wouldn't dirtbikes really tear up the track and do much more damage than the sport quads? If so, I would probably not want them there.....but then again, I wouldn't be riding on that track.  The one way idea is awesome.

does anybody currently belong to other private riding clubs?  What do they charge and what does that cover?  

[Eworm]

I guess no DIRT BIKES. I actually started out on 3 then went to 2 (RM 125 and YZ 250) but I think they would indead tear the track up big time.

[J.D.]

Both machines will tear it up pretty good , we will have alot of what if's to cover but it would be unfair not to allow bikes because they need a place to ride also . We will  have a volunteer system for clean up days . Maybe the volunteers will get their own special day of riding , that could possibly help the bikers out if they step up . Anything people do to help will be rewarded .
