ATV Florida Forum

i was up there today and they actually did some maintenance.  as little as it may be, it was nice to get out of 3rd gear.  they groomed the road around the outside, i guess that would be the south and west side.  it was still slightly bumpy, so it was awesome

good to here it, do u have any pics of the spots they groomed?

no i didnt bring the camera with me today

are we going to be reading about any high rate of speed crashes at croom now :-\

Guy got his manhood SEVERED 3 weeks ago yesterday. If that dont slow you down, nothin will

I was out there yesterday,  the area "GROOMED" is a access path from the Croom entance along the fence by OAS. It is fenced off from the main pit for the most part but you can get on it. It leads to the west property line where there is a gate to someones property.  I spoke with the ranger and he told me it was going to be fenced in the rest of the way and was off limits as they need to have access and "you all just woop it all to hell".

On a personal note If everyone who pregnant doged about the conditions of Croom would not drive like crazy and rip up the trails they wouldn't be all wooped out and washed out. As for the pits they need some help too you cant just rip up a hill a bunch and not expect it to get washed out, you might be amased how much a shovel can do.

Maybe you didnt understand the point i was making. The people that dig burnout holes in the middle of the trail or make donut holes in the day parking areas arnt riding fast and hard.  There is a big difference in riding fast and hard and driving like crazy and ripping it up. Last I checked they didnt make ds650's, Raptors, 450's ect for digging holes.

Yeah, last I checked thats what they made them for. About everyone does donuts on a sport quad..even turning will rut stuff up. Do you expect people to slow down to a stop to turn?

       My bad,I thought the whoops were from throwing up dirt everytime you shift gears going fast on a sport quad.I did'nt realize they were from people stopping every five feet and digging burnout holes for miles on end. Thanks.

Umm no that why they make excavators and backhoes.  And i wasnt talking about berms either. If you read my post you will notice my complaint was people digging burnout holes (which isnt a woop) or digging donut holes (not a berm) in the trail crossings and day parking areas.

I was there today. The entire west side access road is being fenced off, too. I understand they need a flat unwhopped road to drive their trucks on, but the riding area within Croom is in essence, becoming smaller as a result.

And don't you love it, when you have been going there for 5+ years and publicize the heck out of their place for free and the guy at the gate hassles you for putting your Croom sticker on the frame instead of the fender? When I bought the sticker another guy said it was no problem. But today, guess not.

Oh well, I'll have forgotten it by tomorrow. Still had a good time riding, though.

waaaaay back in the day when I went to Croom, they actually told us to put them on the frame,,,,freakin weirdos

hey how far is croom from jacksonville

They are gonna fence off that road off too? Jesus Christ! Croom just flat out sucks! I'm gonna get out of this damn sport pretty soon. What a F'n joke. -Mark

Yea I'm with ya there.  With all the riding areas that are closing in this state Croom is getting more and more crowded and the last think Croom needs is to get smaller!! 

well guys and gals i am gonna put street tires on my r and run from the cops atleast the streets are groomed and i can enjoy the chash but it is gonna suck when i get caught ha ha :deal.gif

Well, when y'all decide you want out of the sport let me know.  I should be able to purchase a sport quad by next year, Christmas if I'm lucky.  So for anyone here getting out that has a z400, yfz450, or 450r w/ mods let me know when you're ready. 

Well I'm not getting out of the sport. I enjoy it too much. But stuff like this makes me happy that I bought a street bike. I can't feed my need without traveling for hours and dealing with all of the BS.
