DAVES FARM!!! HOw do you know about dave??

Dude that place is a fucking riot! But he is allowed to film. Hes not reselling his films, its not a film studio, its a "farm" converted to a do whatever the hell you want. Thats why the cops + bylaw went there, because people have WAY too much fun there. But he was breaking a few local bylaws, which resulted in what happend but they used it to hit him as hard as they could.

@mattmatt115 Wow that's like the pot calling the kettle black. I did not like bush I do not like OBAMA I don't like the patriot act, but what are you trying to tell me that Canada is for freedom. Try telling that to Davids farm where he cant even film on his on land because its not zoned for that! even as messed up as the USA is it is still more free then CANADA

[mattmatt115]

I dont understand freedom? Is that why Canada doesnt have a Patriot Act? Or warrantless wiretap's and home invasions if your a "homegrown terrorist"

Yeah, real good freedom man, when the people cant even peacefully assemble without asking the government for permission first. You used to be free, prior to Bush and Dick turning the country into a fascist semi-democratic dictatorship. Do you like what Obama has done with the place, or your deficit/debt?

[limitup58]

That's because your a Canuck from the land of socialists. You would not understand the way of freedom! Stay in Canada we don't want you here!

Yeah well that may be true about Canada having good trails and lots of snow but not as many people live up there as here......so the majority of snowmobile enthusiests that appreciate northern Michigan are traveling there from areas to the south that might not get as much snow. Obviously, the best option they have without entering another country, is traveling to Northern Michigan.

best state in the union!

HAHA my bad.. i didnt see that you said CHICAGO and not the UP.

my bad haha

[mattmatt115]

What do you mean? I was riding on trails in michigan?

I dont understand your claim there is no trails?

[robaksha]

That's because you live in Canada. Chicago has no such trail network, nor does the entire southern half of Wisconsin. Northern Wisconsin starts to get better, but the last several years the snowfall has been little, and the trails have been bad. UP trails are the best ones around that are close (6 hours drive from Chicago)

LOL @ the comments here... I am Canadian, i have been to Minnesotta, U.P. of Michigan, to go riding. Honestly, i don't see the point in traveling the distance to either of these places, to ride on their trails.

I live in Elliot Lake ontario, and we have 100's of KM of groomed & unmaintained trail just in our town alone. Sure theres lots of snow down there, but, theres just as much if not more here. But, ontario has a huge forestry industry, with hundreds of clear cuts and untouched powder.
