What kind?

What kind of riding do you prefer? Do you like trails, dunes, track, or drag strip? What's your poison?

I prefer trails over anything. There is nothing like running through the woods and having to deal with all the elements. Trails truly test a riders ability. I know I can't air my quad out like alot of guys do but I can fly through logs, water crossings, I've passed big 4x4 quads on my 450 with 4" of ground clearance through some nasty rock fields. Rocks the size of volleyballs and bigger.(god bless skid plates) MX is cool but it is very repetitive, the dunes get old and dragging, well it's too short of a ride.

I'm not trying to start a battle here, just some opinions.

I like to ride tracks with some trails every now and then. Dont have the logs and such, just desert trails but its fun.

Trails for me......and that's what it's all about.......for _me_.......

Never rode dunes....but would like to one day....

Never dragged.....never intend to......but like to go WOT
on straights every now and again! ;)

Rode an oval a few times.....some jumps on the side.....

I'm not into racing, so that was boring ;)

Quadcross looks fun....to ride, not to race.....

In the spirit of the thread...that's what works for me....

QuadCross is amazing. That is true racer ability.

This is 1st hand what you go through.

They do it on sport quads too. Couldn't find a video.

Dunes are an absolute blast, but there aren't any close by so I don't get to ride them that often. Trails are where it's at! Occasional track riding but not competitively.

I like the dunes. There is nothing like throwing a huge roost of sand but it gets old. You can only ride the bowls, climb the hills, and drag so many times.

i agree with stoopid, quad cross is amazing.. i like to drag on the road just for the speed, but where i live the trails are the most chalenging in western mass, right in my back yard

i love mx,theres not better feelin in then world passin a modded 450 with a stock 400

but its to damn expensive to get ur quad set up for it.
i ride trails every weekend, and when i ride its wide open.
the trails are XC styled, sorta narrow. and the trails is never the same. after every rain it morphs into something new. so it never gets old.
i love gettin in 4th gear pinned and hydroplaning a water crossing.
i always look for natural jumps to have some fun with but i hardly ever find any worth getting on camera.
i dont drag race. i think its worthless. it doesnt test the rider. it tests the machine IMO
quadcross looks rough as hell. but i wanna try it so badly
