well finally got back out after a broken foot and a new baby and was pretty pumped! i tried to chase my buddy down but flipped er over. lots of snow has melted but still riding studs. it looks deceiving because the ground is still rock hard and icey so you definetly need the trelles! this is still on the 300 the S3 250 kit is still sitting in the garage but hopefully will have it installed next weekend.

Ya it was great until we received 30cm this week! Ill take a short clip this weekend and you'll laugh at the difference!
 
Hilarious! I love how buddy saunters back to his bike, ready to ride, while you're trying to gather it all back together.
 
I give him a pretty hard time with the trash talk(all my buddies really) so he's never gonna give me an inch! That's the same guy in one of my other videos(Trevor vs Wes) that hits a sink hole and I plow into the back of him lol
 
Looks like fun riding but because of it's location I'd consider taking it down. I'm 99% sure those trails are not legal.

I've been out of it for about 1.5 years but I'm fairly certain there are only two legal single track trails in Wiaparous.

Hate to be the downer, but we shouldn't promote illegal use.
 
Those trails are part of the whispering pines race loop where about 10 racers a weekend frequent and hold a race every July. There is nothing illegal about bro! As a matter of fact I was chatting with a ranger here about 6 weeks ago.

Race loops are not legal.

They are given permission to make and use a loop only for that weekend. Then it becomes illegal to use.

I know many people still ride them, but rules are rules.

The only legal single track trails in Wiaparous are the two loops the RMDRA opened up a few years ago, and the one given to use after the closure.

"Racers" are some of the worst for following rules. I know the pro's have lots of loops out in Wiaparous, many of which are seeing more and more use. This doesn't make it right, nor does it make it so the public should think it's right to use.

Once again, hate to be the downer. I'd love to ride them myself but I know it's not going to help the situation.

As I said, I've been out of it for about 1.5 years traveling, but I'm fairly certain this hasn't changed.
 
You could be right but as I said if the fish and wildlife are sitting next to me chatting and watching me ride away I'm not going to worry to much about this and i'll leave it at that, a simple post with some weekend riding!

You are legal to ride cutlines, and 4x4 indicated on the maps and by signage.

Ill admit, I'm guilty of break a few rules out there once and awhile too, but the general public seems to have forgot, or now being taught that you can ride everywhere again. My friends included. Most of them ride illegal trails again where we stopped for years.

I just have a feeling this will bite us in the ass again, especially with the South Saskchewan coming into play here soon. (this affects southern Alberta, NOT saskatchewan)

If you haven't already, check out RMDRA. It's a not for profit organization with a reasonable membership cost. The big benefit here is they do a TON of work keeping trails maintained, and fight for future trails. For awhile there was a lot of political mess (early and mid 2000's) but in recent years it's been filled with some good people who put a lot of volutneer hours into helping our sport. I will be joining them again now that I'm back and hope to be riding soon. (I dual sport still)
 
I will not argue that point none of us want that happening and yes I know about the rules, the rmdra is also aloud out at McLean this year with there placard but I also suspect these are not just being used for trail maintenance either. There are so many points to talk about and essentially "argue" which I said I have no interest In doing in this thread but will leave to the rmdra meetings. I acknowledge your points and your concern.
 
And one more note I do very much appreciate the work rmdra does for all of the riders and trails! That is why I support them and am a member!

They do abuse the cards. I know and am aware of this.

I don't agree with it and would like to bring it up once I become a member again. This will sound bad, but they do have a bit of a history saying one thing and doing another. I've come to accept that because MANY of these individuals spend 100's of hours in the bush working on trails. Those are often the ones who have these cards, however those cards allow up to 7 (I think) riders to come with them. Those other "helpers" often do very little for the group and trails.

I'll probably get slammed for saying this, but I know very few RMDRA members are on this forum. A handful at best.

The thing I will also say is this abuse of the system, including their "private" trails that many of them know about is being hypocritical and just giving reason for all the members and general public to do whatever they want. I know most of my friends have started to do this and many of their rides include these card holding RMDRA members. It is what it is I guess. Maybe it'll allow me to ride more trails and just risk the ticket when I start riding again.

What's that saying.. Oh yea. "Lead by example".
 
There's 3 others that ride with me that are forum members here that are also rmdra members that are much more active than me! Small world for sure I've met a lot of riding buddies and hopefully soon to be riding buddies off this forum. One of the best dirt bike forums out there I think!

Zeal? Claude? I think there are a few other GG riders. Zeal ditched GG apparently though.

As mentioned I've been riding my HONDA for the majority of the last 1.5 years in other countries. I'm out of the loop.

If all works out I *may* have a GG this week.
 
I don't know zeal that well just spoke with him a few times but do know Claude quite well he's been helping me get my parts together from Dave in Victoria to swap my 300 over to a 250.
 
He was trying to sell me a new GG, but I can't afford one. haha.

I know Zeal mostly through a common friend and Claude through RMDRA.

Pending I get a bike this year I hope to ride a lot. Sadly I don't have flexible work to join these guys on wednesday and thursday nights.
