I was interested to read that we "are" mainly one sort. I thought we were all quad enthusiasts... but if we have to be classed into racers and rec riders oh what about rec riders that race...mmmm let see how this goes...

I think there is not enough Pony Express/ Enduro style races where the social/ recreational rider is catered for, so if he wants to give it a go he can, but at his own pace. I was strictly a social/recreational rider until I entered an enduro just for fun. I look at it this way, you get to ride for four hours, legally, on some great terrain, at some interesting venues, there is never a chance of having a head on and the Ambo is always close at hand. And lets be honest the ....... stops when the flag drops!

I'm a rec rider but it is good to see how many riders like rec & race riding.
For me the racing is great to watch.

I enjoy both rec & race riding, since our family got involved in the race scene we have met the best group of people and that's what it is really all about. Sharing the sport of ATV's with a great bunch of people, son & I both love to go trail riding but access to legal! riding spots is a bit limited. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad
Cheers Dean.

love the relaxed riding at camp aways,having roost-a-thons is great,but sliding sideways around a speedway track is also bliss.

I'm a rec rider but only because racing is beyond my budget. Go-karts are my first love, raced them for years and when I ran out of money tried a dirt bike which didn't do much for me. I was blown away when a mate let me ride his trike and bought one within a month. But I must say if money were no object I'd rather be racing karts.
