First state what type of user you are--bike/quad or wheeler.

Second state what type of trails you like to use...

This has no bearing on any thing torwards a trail consultant. Just looking for your what you like to run on....

Also all BS will be removed from the thread..

thank you...

As a wheeler I'd like to see what some of us would call a trail from hell. BYS, TOD, and SOL were trails that you would expect damage on. I like the use of trees as corners and rootballs big enough to get sideways on. As soon as I started running Reiter all I wanted was hard trails. Trails that take an hour or two just because of the difficalty. Evans is a play growned to start at but once you know the place it sucks. We need trail like AA and the loop around.

Hi All:

I'm a 'wheeler too. I like technically challenging trails, but my rig is not up to the super-core stuff that buggys like the Crashmobile can run.

There is a bit of a divide in what type of trail a rig driven to the trailhead can run versus the full-blown trail machines that come to the trailhead on a trailer.

Maybe we need trails designed that mild rigs can make it through, but with optional hardcore/supercore obstacles for more built rigs. It is not a perfect idea, but perhaps a way to serve all levels of users.

Regards,

Alan Wesley

Trails for Beginners through Experienced

The Wall Trail is a great example of a beginner trail.

Sac-Up & Cable are a steup up from Beginner.

SOL & BYS are a little more advanced.

The OM is off the hook.

Reiter needs them all.

As a Wheeler, I don't have an extreme rig by any means but enjoyed running SacUp, Rhinoland, Grumpy, Cable. For me personally I don't need an area like the OM but always enjoy watching the Buggys run it. I feel that there needs to at least be an attempt at making BOTH some mild and extreme trails. I have Wheeled at Tahuya and it doesn't interest me at all, However I know alot of FJ guys who think it's what Wheeling is about. And we have to remember that to THEM it is. I would be sad if all we got were basic roadway trails like Tahuya and Extreme stuff like the OM and no intermediate stuff.



As a Side X Side user,

I like alot of the same Wheeling trails but also enjoy the ATV trails. Tahuya has ATV trails set for 50" width vehicles which is what my side x side is. Walker set their posts at 48" and I can only run the 4WD trails and forest roads.



As a Dirt Biker, I enjoy a mix of trails as well. I ride Singletrack that is tight and technical but also ride ATV trails when I want to get into a faster paced. There are some ATV trails at Tahuya that are a series of turns that are bermed up and are alot of fun on either a Quad or a Bike. The #1 issue from the Dirt Bike crowd is the limiting of SingleTrack trails to DirtBikes only and keeping quads and 4x4's out.

single track - from intermediate to extreme

[Kat JK]

Off-roader/4x4 trails

use most every thing from basic to midly extreme. Old Reiter trails, bonus round, cable, rhino land and back door, rock garden, tightass, sac-up, poop shoot, stair step, Issabelle trail.

Wheeler
Tight technical trails with vehicle damage very likely.

Jeep Wrangler Wheeler

Mildly modified in today's standards equipped with selectable lockers, inadequate gear ratio and 35" rubber. :mad:

as to trail types, I prefer the following
From 'Sunday drive' mindless trails for scenery with little difficulty to reach a high ascent for the simple fact of the views.

To highly technical trails that would require the combination of driver skills challenge paired with mechanical implements to assist with navigating said obstacles. I wear my incurred body damage with pride when necessary.

As to naming specific trails; I would run them all at Reiter, with the exception of the Outlet Mall in my rig as it is currently configured, however I certainly enjoy the opportunity to hike in and observe others in their toys test their technical wit against natures obstacles.

I also would like to point out that as a 'mostly conservative' wheeler, I prefer to have the option for a bypass presented for consideration, if at the time I do not feel the need to test my prowess against Mother Nature, or in other times I want to futz around and challenge myself as I see fit.

Any day out in the Jeep, on any kind of trail with various technical options to consider, surrounded by great friends is a great day for me.
