Just got a new King quad 750, got rid of my Outlander 800. Can someone give me directions to this place? Obv I know where 8st is, but where is the entrance to get in and park? Is it by the gun range?

Anybody going tomorrow?

dirtyface · February 28, 2009, 07:12:41 PM

I am going somewhere tomorrow.. 8th st,,, big cypress,,,, or Holeylands, if I can find someone with another utv to ride with. Utv's are allowed in Holeylands. Anyone up to hit the camps?

8th Steet is illegal.

Holeylands are closed to ATV's.

The camps in the Big Cypress and Holylands are private property and you shouldn't be riding around them at all.

Won't be long and the Big Cypress will be closed to ATV's as well.

dirtyface · March 01, 2009, 10:27:19 PM

So I guess I should just stay home. Is that what you are saying? I don't think so....

JOE3504x4 · March 01, 2009, 10:51:12 PM

Well Put

Anoriginal · March 02, 2009, 08:59:34 AM

No, definitley don't stay home. However, if you're going to ride, just do so in a legal area and in a proper manner. That way, you and I and everyone will have places to ride in the future. The last thing we need is more areas clased to us because of stupidity and illegal action.

JOE3504x4 · March 02, 2009, 09:12:47 AM

Thank you Officer.

Mock me if you like. Doesn't change the fact that I am 100% correct and that by riding illegally you make us all look bad.

Stupidity is what got the Holeylands closed to ATV's and is the same thing that will likely get the Big Cypress closed to ATV's within the next 2-3 years. I sit on the ORV Committee for the Big Cypress and I've seen the anti-ATV establishment pull out pictures of 8th Street, the Humps and the Holeylands to support their arguments for banning ATV's all together in the Big Cypress. Lately however, they've got lots and lots of ammo just from the influx of idiots that now think the Big Cypress is an ORV park. It's really looking bad because of the increased ATV use. Yet again, it's that 20% that make the other 80% of us look bad.

So, go ahead, laugh and make fun of it. Meanwhile, I'm dedicating an enormous amount of my time and money to keeping areas open for people like you to ride. Unfortunately, its the very people we're fighting hardest for that make it difficult for us to win in the end. I fear it won't be long before we lose even more places to ride as a result.

At that point I guess it would be time to dust off the waverunner

And no offence here Reality but Ive read alot of your posts and it seems that maybe your superior Intelligence would be better suited for some kind of political forum.

All Im looking to do is ride untill I get too old or just bored of it. I really dont care about the politics of the sport.

Anoriginal · March 02, 2009, 01:08:09 PM

No offense taken.

Have fun and be safe.

JOE3504x4 · March 02, 2009, 02:11:49 PM

You do the same.

Is the pit really back open to atv riders?
They use to not serve you even if your bike was not in site.

So your allowed to ride your bike up an eat?

crom A zone · March 02, 2009, 03:25:14 PM

lol sorry guys let me try agian. when i bout my atv i bought a recreatinal vehicals. there fore i ride for fun. i did not do or go to any of the races that make rideing and atv for sport use. i just ride my atv for fun and enjoyment to me. i keep hearing everyone making our sport look bad and the 20 and 80% well i just ride for fun not for a sport so i guess i dont fit in any of the %

IXIswamperIXI · March 02, 2009, 05:45:03 PM

My understanding of the 80/20% thing has nothing to do with riding for fun. It just the theory a few ruin it for many. I may be wrong who knows :dunno.gif

crom A zone · March 02, 2009, 06:41:31 PM

yes you will be served just park in the grass area next to bathrooms and walk up to window if it is a lot of you just tell the nice ladies they will come out and take your order. BE NICE they are willing to even set up some tables for us but the city is not allowing them. Spanish helps because all the waitress are spanish hotties but they speak english
