I like to ride with the tires down and the handle bars up.

Lol, you do get around a lot better that way.  I might have to try that once..

A new baby alone would eat up any extra money you had for sure .  

I liked the predators solid axle for sliding into and out if corners.  Was sick. In worried that the irs outlaw would hook too much 

ROFL In my dream garage I have a Predator sitting next to a 77 Bandit Trans Am.  In my real garage I have a Trailblazer 250 sitting next to an 82 Trans Am.  I got pretty close eh!!

pretty entertaining, the booby trap thing is kind of a scary thought, however I can understand a little bit of people not being too happy about someone on their property but going as far as hanging fish hooks from branches that's pretty twisted.  Maybe they should open it up and allow folks to ride there if those interested in riding would be willing to help pick up some of the garbage and junk that is dumped off.  I fly radio controlled planes and sail planes and we gained access to some private property by our willingness to pick up trash left behind others and gained favor with the land owner.  It's been a decent relationship since then, private land is a tough deal these days.  Pretty funny video though thanks for sharing.

Thanks, glad you liked it.  The property is all owned by the coal companies in the area. Obviously Quads aren't the trash problem, but get blamed for it anyway. A lot of the booby traps are just asshats trying to keep their secret party spots a secret. It's a strange area I live in.  Again thanks for watching I appreciate it.

I had Dunlops on my predator.  Awesome sand tire. Perfect for what I doing at the time. Maybe one year I'll get off my wallet and get an outlaw 525.. got too beat up on the predator . 

If I had a bigger budget my dream setup would be an Outlaw or Predator hooking up on Maxxis Razr.  All my fun money was coming from my Ebay store and sponsors I was able to get through social media. The last two years included a new baby, multiple job changes, and several injuries, so not enough riding time to keep on that roll.

Morning all. We still have over a foot of snow despite the rain for the last week lol. Taking the atv out tonight to buddies hunting shack for some overnight partying.  Probably do some snowmobiling tomorrow 

Damn, now that sounds like a good time there..

I have always run Dunlops on my quads.  They seem to work really well in the mix of terrain and snow I ride in.  My local shop sells them and they are in the budget, so I stick with them.

Good morning everyone.  We have a dusting of snow here in NE PA this morning. Have a great Saturday everyone.

You can never have to many emojis..

Dude, you are one funny guy! I love the narrating...lol.

Thanks Ajmboy.  I put myself into some pretty sketchy situations to try and keep things fresh and interesting.  I don't want things to get boring for any one watching. My enthusiasm almost always beats out my skills.  LOL

I stay away from the hard stuff.  I drink some crazy beer that's a little high on the alky content, but no whiskey type stuff.

Took a night ride to test out my new Light Bar on the Warrior.  Turned out to be another typical Wylde1 Goon ride.

Yeah that would be a pretty tight fit for sure.

Bud Light in the aluminum bottles.  I have been really hammering them down lately.

ROFL I see that all the time.  I always thought I must be an idiot because I see no reason for it.  Actual tractor trailers are working on making the stacks smaller and these boneheads are putting huge stacks on pick ups.

Howdy

Hot Damn!!!! A great big HOWDY right back at ya.

This could lead to some pretty nice machines in the future.

I think they look pretty cool and I am getting a little older now, so the idea of a cage is creeping up on me. I don't have the budget for a RZR, so this could be a nice alternative.  I have not seen one, but here they are small.  This could be a problem for me at 6'2" and 210lbs. 

Since I have come back it seems things are definitely moving in the right direction.  You will never get everyone fully engaged.  What I remember from before was that we had a pretty large "Core" group.  Once you build up that core group of people things pick up pretty quickly.  We used to be able to log in and just BS about near anything and always shared some great pictures, because we were all considering each other as friends.  Things seem to be heading in that direction again.  I look forward to getting to know more of the newer members and seeing what the older members are up to now a days.

The Slingshot sucks, but what do you think of the new Polaris Ace.

That thing was a bad decision by Polaris.  I don't like anything about it, although Elton John would probably look spectacular in it.

wylde1,

I pretty much do trail riding, a bit of plowing when the need arises.  Have only been riding ATV's for a couple of years and living where we live, have so much area to explore it makes me wish that I would have gotten into it years ago.  But had kids in private school, and that isn't free so the ATV money for years and years went to tuition.  And to pay for that tuition, I had to chuckle at your avitar pic, we have been running a fireworks stand for 21 years which is what allowed our kids to be able to attend the private school.  However it does make me a bit nervous to see fireworks used like that LOL, be careful dude.  As far as mud goes........I'm old and therefore don't enjoy the cleanup and I can't imagine it's too good on the machine either.....but, to each is own  and if that's what you enjoy... go for it.  It does look kind of fun but can't imagine the time I would have to spend cleaning, I'm a bit anal, okay.....very anal and wouldn't and won't put my machines away dirty. If I do, it is taken care of the very next day.

 

fartknocker,

Sounds like a great place to be.  I for some reason try to avoid the water and mud, worried about electronics, brakes, and hate to clean rock hard dirt.  To be able to have that freedom of riding either or all year long would be awesome.  I know that the folks down in West Yellowstone near Yellowstone National Park are able to use both snow machines and ATV's year round, for me I would sure miss my mountains, nothing like the feeling of coming over a rise and seeing views like these.

That sure is some great scenery.  I live in coal country, so pretty much everything is hard on the machines.  I prefer the mud and water over breathing in the coal dust that gets kicked up on the dry days. We do have some awesome mountains here, too.  The fall is my favorite time to ride.  The color of the trees matched to the black of the coal banks makes for some pretty cool sights.  The fireworks jumps do get a little sketchy, but the nickname Wylde1 was given to me for a reason. LOL..

Talk about what kind of atv you have and what you do with it.

That is a good topic..

I have a 2001 Yamaha Warrior and a 2001 Polaris Trailblazer.  The Blazer is pretty well wasted, but one day I may fix it.  I use them for trailriding.  I like the mud and jumping the most.  Jumping into the mud is like a little slice of Heaven for me.
