out yesterday. most of the openings were pretty well packed down, but that was just on the trail from the rally.
bit of a rough ride but it was still a blast.
i love swan hills. went for a quad trip today, got stuck a couple times but all in all it was a great day. took about a 100km trip. hit some awesome jumps. and i outpulled a polaris 600 indy triple up to 80MPH, then he pulled away lol
i went trailing with some buddies today. kept pace with a polaris 600 triple at 80MPH on the trail.
when i hit the crest of a hill at about 50.. i must've been in the air for 4 or 5 seconds. i've never jumped more than a couple feet in my life lol. almost had to stop and change my drawers.
i dont go ripping donuts on them or anything. i cant afford a sled and a quad like you guys. i gotta have my fun too.
the way i see it, its public land and its in MY town, so i'll ride wherever i want.
i had my quad out today in it.. lots of snow but you do have to watch the stumps and stuff.
theres 100kms of trail groomed from the rally on the 7th, im heading out this weekend with the quad to hit it
The swan palace is by far the best food in town. the hotels are cheap so you cant expect much lol.
i live in Swan Hills.. love the place. its quiet and theres tons of freedom.
They have already started back East. I come from Nova Scotia and last year they banned anyone under the age of 16 from operating a quad or dirtbike other than at sanctioned events. there is more to it than that, but i'm not completely clear on that. They also said nobody under 16 could be...
im curious as to what you think of the machine now that the 'new' novelty has worn off.. i have a chance to buy one this week, how has it been reliability-wise so far?
thanks
lol yep the 4x4 works great. tires are gonna be my first investment, then definately a sound system, the stock speakers and cheap deck just dont cut it. if i can't hear the radio with the windows down at 120, its gotta change lol.
just bought a new-to-me truck with my first paycheck, now that i'm settled up in swan hills.
next investment is a quad, looking for deals around the area..
shes a 98 zr2, heavy duty lift kit, 31's, push button 4x4, power everything.
now i need something to go on back of er ;)
looks like an escalade inside lol. i dont like it at all. good luck backing that into a parking space/trying to manouver through anything that can hide in front of that huge front end.
i have a job at Doug's construction, going to be running bulldozers, bobcats, driving trucks, some labour work, etc.. lots of stuff to learn. i wont have alot of time to ride but i love wheeling so i'll be buying a bike first paycheque i get lol.
hey guys. i'm justin. i currently live in Nova Scotia, but am moving to Swan Hills, AB in a week. I plan on buying a 400ex as soon as I get there, joined this group trying to find a few locals from swan hills/whitecourt to show me around.
thanks!
