I think this is a good video if you ride on public and state regulated trails and such. Now if you have your own land, you can ride how ever you want, or if you go to places where its "ride at your own risk" such as Trevorton, PA where you can rip the hell out of it up there. Just dont litter, be considerate of other riders, watch out for other riders, and dont ride on the public roads

good shit. if we could only get everyone to wear helmets and use their brains we might just be alright.oh yeah, DONT DRINK AND RIDE!"

Im an ATV rider in Pennsylvania, i think this is a good video but riding only on designated paths for atvs would get boring after awhile, ya have to climb some hills every now and then lol. or Open that quad up once in awhile, as long as you know your limits and how to the handle it at high speeds. It's all common sense and knowing your ATV is what makes a good rider.

Where I live the park n ride has brought many atvs onto the trails. The trails are wearing just from the number of people riding. The club does a good job of fixing the trails. People need to keep their trucks off them. Landowner got pissed and blocked the trail with rocks five years ago. now we have permission to atv on it again by going through a narrow spot cut around the rocks.

We will pray for you, all things have a purpose. I am teaching a four-wheeler safety instruction class in 4-h; so this video is a big help.

Good thing you guys are doing your part to protect the trails, cause everytime I go out you better believe theres gonna be some new ones. I guess the guys that first blazed all those trails that you "tread lightly" on were a bunch of assholes.

This is a good video i guess, the only problem i have with it is at about 12 seconds. If you go over trail obstacles like rocks and big pieces of wood you greatly reduce your tire life. It's better just to put them in between your tires where you have the most ground clearence. Not only does this keep trail sizes in tact, but it also lenghens tire life and makes for a smoother ride.
