STL ATV & OFFROAD

Yeah, It is a big piece of land that is owned by the army corps of engineers. It's a good place t it's a good place to ride I've been out with my 150 buggy about 4 times without issue. I we park on my buddies parking lot (captain Jims firworks), and just ride over to the trails.  There are no real challanging hills that we've found, but because of the rain I'm sure there will be a couple mud pits now so be sure to have a spare set of cloths handy!

I'm guessing 10 or 11 like usual.

I alway bring a 10' strap.

If it is in West Alton. I might be ae to get out. Do I need a helmet?

the west alton trails are semi legal trails if thats a good description. people have been riding them for years without a problem but it isnt a park or anything like that really



what day are you guys wanting to go? ill probably just take the 150 out

Whats good for you guys? as of right now it doesn't matter to me, I'm guessing Sat morn but it's supposed to rain Fri so it might be a little too muddy, so Sun might be good also.

Sunday works great for me. The weather looks good too. Looking forward to getting muddy.

Ok Sunday meetvat the parking lot of the firework place?

Yep, that's the one we park behind the dirt cheap... I'd say around 10:30-11.00 we'll probably roll out around 11:00ish once every one shows up. You can contact me 314-437-0788 by text, or call if you get lost.

I have to bleed my brakes, I installed a new master cylinder yesterday so I know my lines are filled with air, I should be good to go by Sun, can't wait to ride again, it's been a few weeks.

LOL at Chad!!! Or maybe you sharted (****-fart). We had a nice time out today. Wish we could have rode a little longer though. We met new members, witnessed an accident, then finally got the confirmation that there is no more riding the Alton Trails. They were fun while they lasted. Cant wait till the Moonlight Meetup. Oh yeah...I snapped a few pics on my phone when we made some stops, not many, too busy riding.

LOL! I know right! this was a crazy day... I think someone from the hoods or one of the local guys that ride out there called in on us. The cops don't even care if you ride out there they have more important stuff to do, why do you think he didn't give any tickets are bother about it. It was just some person who had nothing better to do so they probably called on us when they saw us going to the trails. I know that it wasn't anyone from Jims, because we've never had any problems until I saw today that the Hoods was somewhat open.
Anyways, it was fun for the little time that we did get to ride and I hope I can make it down to Moonshine in a couple weeks! lol

Oh yeah I almost killed myself at home. Backed off the truck and meant to hit the hand brake and instead hit the gas with my thumb. That thing stood straight up. Dont know how it didnt roll over. I think I pee'd myself.

Ok boys, soooo what happened with the po po today? Oh and the accident?

Well Bob...I guess since I only have 3 post and considered a Newbie, I can tell you about the day. First was the accident. We were on top of the levee, going pretty fast. Chad was in front, Tim, then TJ. Chad hat flew off, Tim stopped to get it, TJ wasnt looking, and wham, right in the back of Tim. Chuck might have some footage on the go pro. Second the Po Po. LOL! Right after the crash, while we were doing the fix, Chucks phone ring and its the Po Po. Telling him its private land and we cant be back there.
All in all, we got in some good riding, found some new trails back there, and it looks completely different from the last time we were out there.

My email is t3beatz1@gmail.com. If the files are too big they may have to be uploaded to some free online cloud storage.

Oh, that's right you did say you hit a tree, I didn't know it was on our trip, I don't feel as bad anymore I'm not the only one who hit something! lol hope ya feel better. I try to wear my belt as much as possible, I don't know how many times I've got into some situations where it came in handy, just like today.

Once I get a chance I can find some cloud storage you can upload them to, about how big are the files?

pretty big ill give it another try tonight i probably did something wrong like i said i wasnt exactly alert most of the day yestarday lol
