Thank you for the video

These are great public services messages. Thank you for taking the time to share. Safe riding!

The thing i was most shocked about on my first trip to the trails was the excessive use of alcohol and Marijuana. Just about every large group that's stopped along the trail is partaking in it. I ride with my kids and its a shame that i have to worry so much about drunk drivers. The only saving grace is that there are so many miles of trails, and if you ride during the week day's, you may only see a handful of other riders.

Yes that is true but that most places you go ride not much we can do about that but be aware of our surroundings if they get caught it can be a pretty hefty fine I've heard of checkpoints in the trails I've never personally encounter one

@clevermotorsports I've gone through several check points. Seems like they only care if you have a trail permit or not.

@@fitzfarm8694 wonder if they just don't want to scare riders away or something maybe, still should do something like you said I've seen some individuals that should not be behind the wheel of anything We avoid going on holiday weekends those are the worse

@@clevermotorsports yes, I think it is to avoid chasing riders away. Holidays and the weekends are good times to avoid for sure.

Kids should have a designated area. It's really a adult sport. But also understand your frustration as most around here drink and ride like idiots and is why people dislike riders

Nice review. Other things that should be mentioned. Most all trails are two-way trails lot of people don't understand that. Don't stop in the middle of a trail to take a break unless you're broke down. Learn the hand signals when riding on the trail. Have fun.

Yes I forgot to mention not to park in the middle of the trail it is annoying when someone is blocking the trails

Forget the hand signals. Keep your hands on the steering wheel or bars. As a snowmobiler as well, most clubs, riding areas and even the state of NY does not recommend the use of hand signals. Most importantly is to travel at a safe speed.

​@@fitzfarm8694some of these trails are not very wide especially in a steep hill you don't want to get 2 groups of riders stuck in the middle of the hill so hand signals can actually save you from a bad situation by letting the other group know that you still have riders coming behind but yeah some times it's not ideal taking your hands off the wheel or handlebars

Spot on review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 haven’t run into people trying to take advantage of your mishap yet!!!

Oh yea for sure but gotta remember not everyone does and also people riding with family will probably try to solve it peacefully before especially if they are out numbered so rather warn everyone so it may prevent people from falling for this again

Yes, cell service is quite sketchy on the trails. If you have an emergency or just want to check your messages, your best bet is to go to the top of the hills and try. It worked for me in a few different locations. Bikes and 4whlrs take spare clutch and brake levers, those are usually first to break in an incident. 🖒✌

Good review and if someone try's to scam you like that report it... on the trails we are one big family and there for each other. so no scammers life's to short for that shit.... stay safe out there

Yes but even then it would be very difficult to catch them with the amount of people that ride the trails and being so big the best bet is just stay informed and be cautious

I do wish in many cases that the trails were one way! There have been many occasions when a SxS came through a bermed curve side ways taking any safe passage away from the on coming traffic and with many blind switchback that is dangerous! Ride your side bike 4 wheeler or SxS!

@clevermotorsports

Yes one way trails would be nice we definitely had some close calls especially with side by sides coming in hot because they take most of the trail

They need to make these trails wider. Machines keep getting bigger but the trails stay the same width.

Same never did before until it happened to one of our friends riding his side by side with his family came back telling us about it he was pissed and after we were talking to someone about it and said they did hear from someone else so it could have been a group from out of state being a$$#oles but better be informed just in case we don't know who they are
