Six Wheelers / Amphibious ATVs

This is some footage of http://www.6x6world.com 's semi-annual six wheeler ride at Busco Beach ATV park in Goldsboro, NC from the weekend of April 15-17, 2011. With strong storms rolling through the area that produced sizable tornadoes, several members had to cancel their plans to attend the event, but even so, there were around 50 6x6 World members and over 30 six and eight wheel amphibious ATVs that made it.

The footage in this video shows several different ATVs manufactured by Argo, Max, Attex and Hustler. It's interesting to watch the different models and how they excel in certain situations compared to each other. Busco Beach offers many different types of terrain to ride in from sand to mud but we typically find most of our trail rides end up in the muddier trails on the outskirts of the river that surrounds the park. That is where the majority of this video was shot.

You're absolutely right. The Attex eight wheeler in the video benefits from the longer wheelbase when traveling over a lot of rutted trails and really awkward terrain, but it's tougher to get it out of situations when it gets high-centered (like in the video...) It weighs substantially more, too. Not nearly as agile as a 6x6, but it's still a lot of fun for being a 40 year old machine. I'll forward your comments to the driver. :)

It looks like just because the 8x8 is the biggest does not mean it is the best. The lady who was driving it looked like she was quite good at it (at least I thought, and pretty too ) but in terms of being most adgial. the 6x6s' came out on top.

Brilliant.... The Max IV still makes the hard stuff look like child's-play. I need one. The girls had a lot of fun in that gully, too. Thanks for documenting the weekend for us all....
