Is anybody riding in the St. louis area. I moved here recently and don't have anybody to ride with or know where any places to ride are. If you know of any or interested in hitting the track or something sometime let me know.

im from iberia what you race ?

not yet but im planning on getting into it soon. Right now i just go to the track and practice but its not all that great going by yourself you know. There any tracks out there in iberia

thers a track at fort wood,mo and Versailles,mo thats the only places i race and atv roideos there is a race at LEBANON,mohttp://www.toothandnailracing.com/

don't forget the harescrambles (mhsracing.com) tough, but a blast!!!

ya they are you learn alot about your quad and what not to do lol

My whole family struggles through the obviously desolate and barren riding scene in StL. St. Joe state park is a blast, Finger Lakes is solid as long as it hasn't rained recently, and Action Motocross is also a respectable and usually has well faced jumps. I haven't been to Waw00tera offroad park in a while and I need to go back because they have a massive tabletop that would rock if it was faced right. I went on a muddy day.

allright, censorship machine. It's not waw00teria mx park. It's Wa$h1ta MX park. Pronounced Wah-shee-tah


Obviously, get to know people. I know a dude out 44 with a private track I've hit twice. It's small, but riding is riding and getting your fix is getting your fix. I'm always looking for more land, but I'm quiet and don't get out much so I've just got the one spot there. I'm CADding up a good medium/small portable FQX launch ramp, but I need someone with a pile of dirt if I want to use it.

It sounds good to me any of yall got plans this weekend i want to go ride its supposed to be nice? Jimmy you stay in the st. louis area and i think i have a place were you can hit the ramp once its finished i have a buddy that owns about 160 acres in sullivan and i already asked if i could build a jump there and he said no problem if you interested let me know.

You've got yourself an information-packed PM with a bunch of details that would have been tedious and uninformative to post publicly.

Do they have practice days i couldn't find anything about that or a price on there site?

just call matt 573-378-3393 and ask when you can practice he should let you pratice any time they are some guys that are praticeing tomarrow sunday

Yeah i couldn't make it out that weekend sucks that track looks pretty sweet but I'm going to try and head out that way this weekend, you going to be out there?

holydiver, i could drive to you in about 10 minutes, lol. Im Jimmy's brother and i, too could ride with you at your buddies land. that would be awesome. i MIGHT have access to a bobcat if this gets serious. Ill talk to jim tomarrow. your friends land is an hour away from me, so that isnt too bad.

That sounds good to me my buddy starts back up working with me on wed so ill have some more time to talk to him about it but and where we can place everything but he already said its cool. You ever go out to that track off 47 i think its called action not really sure but ill probably be heading out there this weekend or somewhere my buddys banshee just craped out on him so he cant but if your down?

YES! i go there all the time. i can clear every jump there now. (YFZ is much better than the ol' blaster on tracks) im thinking of going tuesday, cause its my spring break and its supposed to be sunny and 70, plus sat is supposed to rain i think. ill go check.

its "mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of pm showers and a high of 54" Im down if my mom will go.. im only 17 and you have to be 18 to sign for yourself (kinda sucks for me) maybe jimmy will go too, hes supposed to not ride till the 20th due to arm injury, but maybe he'll break the rules if Jim went he can sign for me.

every jump even the big table in the back im landing about half a length two short on that one and theres another one i dont like cause i land flat all the time your going to have to show me some stuff then. I thought it wasnt supposed to rain till saturday night and a high of 54 nice. i work through out the week but it will be on my way home on tuesday just wont be able to get there till like 6 or so

ok, i asked my mom and she said the typical mom answer of " i just dont know"

my moms the cool type, so thats probably a yes, lol

Were you there last weekend on sat when all the dirtbikes and everybody was there

i want to get a membership so i dont have to have my mom there all the time cause i got a truck and a lisence, just i dont have the cash right now.

holy crap. yes i was, i remember you. you had my bike with the shaved plastics =P

thats freaky

i had the red ford ranger..

yup yup i remember you kept going back to your mom lol yeah thats my bike i love the shaved fenders i didnt know you could get a membership how much is it?

well riding fee used to be $15 and the membership was $150 and now that the fee is $10 its only logical for me to assume its $100. im not sure though. I know it WAS $150. for a year all-you-can-ride pass.

and now that i know ive seen you my mom is alot less paranoid about you kidnapping and molesting me...

there goes my plans for sat night lol

i talked to my mom some more and she is 80% sure she can go to sign for me.

yeah, i bet your dissapointed. i carry 18 knives and 3 guns on me at all times, so id be careful. im also a ninja.

yeah thats i think is the greatest thing ive heard going into the signature

haha, ill pm you with my info, its probably a go.

you got a pm, and we successfully made this a "hot topic" congrats to both of us =P

Holydiver, I should probably be able to get my yfz finished today, and maybe bomb around a bit tomorrow at the track if you're in. I'm not technically supposed to be riding yet, but I'm only a week away. (shoulder complications) Worst comes to worst I'll just get a few laps in on Joe's quad.

I had an Exx-x-xtreme painting disaster last night at about midnight, so I got set back a bit on my a-arm painting. I had everything fixed by about 1:00 and it looks great this morning, so hopefully I can lay on the clear coat today and pop all the seals on tomorrow morning once it cures. We'll see. When you see my bike you'll probably agree that this is not something that can stand to be rushed.

hes just jealous of or SEs, lol

jim can sign for me so my mom might not even have to go. i might have another guy coming from my school too, and he ALSO has an 07 YFZ gray SE. we should form a gang.

Yes its a hot topic I'm proud now. And jim your ac is fine you can ride I drove by the track yesterday and there was some mud like the other day so hopefully it will dry up.

Came back after I went out and about for a bit. Clear coated the arms at 8:30. Still real tacky at 12:30. YFZ gets saved for later, I guess... I'll show up tomorrow to say hey and whatnot. I might bring the Racing Recon and break it in. Rebuilding that buttcrack of a bike was my last project, and I need to work the kinks out of it.

I can always just walk around with a shovel and you guys can tell me which jumps are off camber. I'll go sharpen one up now.

You know what that sounds like a good idea ill bring a shovel just encase you forget. So I take it you know a lot about quads and bikes. When I get my pipe and intake in you want to help jet and work out the kinks?

not to be cocky but were both pretty good with them, jim is better

Well im about to get a bunch of stuff from kb so if you want to help

We can help you stack it all on your bike one weekend. I just got lots finished on my quad. All the paint work is done and curing, all shocks reassembled and put back on, brakes rebuilt and ready to put on, EHS filter lid finished, everything else cleaned and organized and ready to go on. I'll be at the track tomorrow, breakin' in the pony. (The stupid slow fat pony, 2004 Honda Recon. 15 WHP.)

Jim is everything back on and ready to roll for the weekend?

he is at school. it is my spring break this week and his next week. it sill has work to be done. btw, i think im going to the track again this Sunday with another guy so if youre up for it.

I scored those ITP beadlocks, got the bike pretty much all the way together, and am getting some graphics on the way. Joe was deceived by the state of my bike in the garage. It's all full of fluids and 10 minutes of work away from starting. Bike will be done Friday night. I might bounce to the track Sunday if it all falls together. We could always decide to roll out to Sullivan if you were interested to scope things out. I got motivated and I've got a trick up my sleeve I'd like to run by you... just to see what you thought... hint. hint.

Sunday sounds good to me i have to work friday and saturday so sunday might be my only day to do anything. I attempted to cam mod yesterday but i need one of those large allens so its postponed. But i am supposed to get my parts tomorrow so if i have some time im going to put those on. You free sunday morning befor the track joe, help me do that cam mod and jet? Good deal on those itp i was looking at some the other day but a little to rich for me but i am bidding on some housers +2 standard i hope i get them pretty good deal. So whats the plan for the sullivan project?

this is awesome. i was planning on going sunday too! i got another guy that rides a raptor 350 that wants to come and try his hand at the jumps (although hes not so great) so if he leaves early then you guys can still be there.
do you have texting tom?

Well, this is my idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMAq_bAKc1c
look how incredibly easy that looks, and how it takes maybe the middle of 3rd to lob it over. I found the plans for it, and I have a welder. Note the almost bone stock blaster having no trouble, and getting mass air. I've always wanted to do this. I know you want one. Don't tell me you don't want one.

The more people that come the better it will be its cool if hes not that good we can show him some. You better be ready ill have my pipe and intake on and all that good stuff ready to go for sunday.

That does look like fun well we can do it how hard are the plans to buil this?

it cannot be that bad at all. we could set it up on that guys land you were talking about.

how was ol st joe been. i just scored some hipers and some housers should be in sometime next week im ready. Are there anymore tracks around stl, any in il?
