Spring Riding Time is Here


We are excited that spring is right around the corner.  The kids are eager to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors.  Our oldest daughter is ready for a new go kart.  Good thing we have the new Go Karts in stock.  

Just keep in mind STAY SAFE!!!

Safety considerations
  • Plan ahead. The weather can change rapidly.
  • Carry all necessary supplies including an emergency repair kit, food, water and warm clothing.
  • Develop a supply checklist to include the above items and other equipment such as area maps and guides, protective gear, flashlight, sunscreen, etc.
  • Know what to wear. Quality helmets, gloves, boots, goggles and protective clothing will keep you comfortable and help prevent serious injuries.
  • Know your vehicle. Keep it in good condition and read the owner's manual.
  • Let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return.
  • Travel with other people.
  • Know before leaving what to do in an emergency.
Trail use guidelines
  • Respect all private and public property and the rights of all recreationists to enjoy nature.
  • Park considerately without blocking other vehicles or impeding access to trails.
  • Keep to the right when meeting other recreationists and yield the right-of-way to downhill traffic.
  • Slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking another.
  • Travel only where motorized vehicles are permitted.
  • Respect designated areas, trail use signs and established ski tracks. Stay out of wilderness areas.
  • Do not block the trail when stopping.
  • Do not disturb wildlife. Avoid all areas posted for their protection or feeding.
  • Do not litter. Pack out everything you pack in.
  • Realize that your destination and travel speed are determined by your equipment, ability, terrain, weather and traffic on the trail. Plan accordingly.
  • Do not interfere with or harass others. Recognize that people form opinions about all motorized vehicle users based on your actions. 
ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
