ATV Florida Forum

okay guys, we are looking for somewhere to ride today, any body going anywhere today down here in southern florida, more like the broward county area? we want to ride, but have no word on holylands and don't know of to many other spots to ride, all sport quads today with us, the popo is dead in the garage and the toys want to play!!

thanks for replies

josh

You can go to macs fish camp.Wich is on Krome.Or you can hit up homestead.Lots of sport bikes there and you can run your shee.Im going to one of the two

let me know, i'm at the north end of broward in coral springs and don't want to go for nothing or not be able to ride

you can also drive and ride at the lost lake.

lost lake is still open? the one by thee quarry? i haven't been there in forever, how do you get in there now, is it the same? last i heard was cops were there along with people arming themselevs out there

I dont know what the quarry is lol.But the one thats  next to 8st.By 157

right by rinker? i don't really know the streets there but rinker is what i think of as the quarry

Yea it by the quarry then lol.Theres to entrances.One by 157 and another closer to the BBQ pit

oh well, did macs and it was good

I rode at Mack's Saturday It was ok. Today (Sunday) we road at Lost Lake (8th street just south of the PIT BBQ)it was the bomb diggity. Saturdays rain worked wonders it was great for sport quads , 4x4 and UTE alike. That was some of the best ridding Ive done in a long time.

Man, I was ready to run over and hit Lost Lake!! Too bad it ain't the same one.

i was there on my red honda 4x4.I was riding wit my boy on a 300ex.It was awesome today.

No heat at this place? How big is it?

No heat.Its pretty big I think if you always drive to macs you might wanna check this place to.Its on 157th and 8st.You go down the dirt road and you can park around the lake.I always used to go to this place late like at 1-2 am always on weekends.Its awesome when your out there by yourself.But now I definately reccomend you dont ride by yourself.Its really muddy.And if you get hungry you have BBQ pit.I like it better when theres knowone there so try going during the week.

Yeah, its only 20 minutes more for me if that. I like the sound of the BBQ pit also. Thanks for posting this up.
I'm going to try and check it out this week.

i rode there on sunday took my 2wd kfx 400 bright orange out and she ran nice all day long

When I used to ride in that area back around 1984-85 we used to call it Hidden Lake. We called Lost lake a place we used to ride west of Flamingo blvd. in Broward. JackL you might want to go and try it out. The only bad thing is the PIT BBQ don't take kindly to ATVr's due to the @zzholes that runt it for the rest of us. But just park off to the side and don't drag mud into the place then there ok.

I forget what we called that area at Flamingo, but one time at that place Wayne Huizinga ran us off with a helicopter there just before they built the stadium! That was a cool place I forgot about.
Progress has sure wrecked the riding here.

hey matt i think i saw you out there a couple of times but i didn't say anything, i was riding a blue banshee with front fenders cut off and had my truck sitting like when you pull in and go up on the levee to turn to go the other side, well we were right before the levee with a grey f350 and a blaster and a yellow ds650, should've said hey, you did go to macs right? lol sorry i didn't call you i left my phone at the house with your number in it

no we went to 8th street and on the way out i got my truck stuck i got the black ranger lifted that says got mud on windsheild

i was out at macks on sunday with my raptor and it was a great day

sure was a good day, i though it was you matt cause it was a nex dvx and it was orange but apparently not lol

I heard their were like 50 people there. I wish I would had time to check it out.

How far out did you go?

i probably saw u there. what were u riding

not that far  lol i just went to try out the new bike but i am probably going back out this satruday

blue banshee with cut off front fenders, a yellow ds 650 and a blue blaster

i saw the blue blaster

i dont got a dvx   i got a kfx 400

oh i meant kfx lol, i still saw it  and it was a kawi, jst not yours lol, you should stop by next time and say hey or whatever i think we are going out there again this saturday ???

i will be thier this saturday with my raptor 350 and my dad will be thier with his 450 king quad

ill try

i can wait to ride!! it will give me a break from studying for finals!!!

lol samee here

i got the big 10 4 tonight on riding out at macs saturday!! woot woot! lol, blue screamin banshee, blue blaster with mudlites and a yellow ds 650, my friends will be there also with a ozark 250, 450r and i think a rancher is what it is, who's going?

ill be there either with a raptor350 or king quad because it is going to be hard to squeeze both into the 8 foot trailer. any suggestions?

how wide is the trailer? there is creative paking lol and is it open or closed trailer?

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/snowmanzz13/holylands/Picture018.jpg)

haha lol, the trailer is 5 feet wide and 8 feet long, and it is open

oh, if it's open, and you have a ramp, drive them fro the side and hang them over the railings if you hve railings, it can be done!!! lol there is alwasys omeone who has to be creative with their packing

yea well i have no ramps but me and my dad can lift the raptor.. but idk . anything else lol?

?

you might have to man handle that raptor and push it to the front of thee trailer sideways haning off the railings, then push the other up right behind it almost pushing it forward and barely on the trailer then you would need tons of tie downs lol, i would only put the raptor sideways if you have railings!! and are you towing behind a truck? or suv? or car?

sounds good, an suv

Its been so long I forgot where you guys are going riding, if it is 8th/157, see you there tomorrow.

going to macs on saturday, i dunno prep, try and squeeze them on the trailer

alright thanks alot, but yea ill be there on saturday

 after a whole freakin 2 hours trying to fit the atvs in the trailer, we couldnt fit them so it looks like were taking 1 at a time tommorw

I think you could do it...we fit a recon and a big bear on a 5x8 trailer but it takes ALOT of muscle and about an hour to load LOL but a new trai;er is coming soon.(http://)http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k271/roughridinrecon/DSCN2234.jpg

First we made ramps out of some 8inch wide wood planks and we put some metal brackets on to hold onto the like 1inch lip of the trailer to securely drive up on. So first we drive the big bear on as forward on the trailer as possible and it barely fits in the 5 feet. Then we strap it down with 4 ratchet straps (doesnt move at all), and for the recon we get creative, since the tires stick above the trailer we cant drive it on sideways so we place the ramps to the far left of the back of the trailer then we back the recon about half way on, put on the parking brake then lift it and turn it sideways next to the big bear, but we have to turn the wheels all the way so it doesnt rub and it leaves about a half inch between the front tire and the trailer tire.

prep, do you live that close that it's easy enough to take two trips? thats too cool if you do, lol, well i hope to see you out there!!

yea , i live about 5-10 min away but if anything im going down with the raptor only and will be there in the afternoon

well, i was there but not very fun as it was extra dry compared to last weekend, but we did go out for a while out to holiday park and that out and around to the boat ramp side of the parking area, had a good time untill we got 2 flats, the banshee called it quits for an unknown reason after i lost the clutch,  :'( and my friends uncle got a nail through one of the lugs on his almost brand new 450r's wheel, we learned we are never parking over by the boat ramp with the amount of nails out there from burnt up pallets

damn that sucks, yea it was so dry compared to last sunday, i guess i didnt see you there because i got thier extremly late . 3:00

I was there on my shee.It was boring.I usually go by myself and meet up with people but today knowone went.I met a guy with a yellow shee and raced him a couple times.I rode like the whole forest without getting stuck

banshee what, what color is your shee, black? i saw it, if it was i saw the yellow one a couple of times and a black one that was riding with it, i had mine but didn't ride it for too long because it was running too lean and blew holes through the pistons  :'( >:( but i did end up riding my dads ds650, and sorry prep, i left around 2

Naw I was on a white one.I was At 157th and 8st tho.Not at macs

GOING TO MACKS today anybody in? 5-27

hey, how was macs yesterday and today? if anyone went ?

Anyone goto macks today?

yea im also trying to find out how it was today

I was out there today and it was HOT and DRY, I was just wondering who eles was out there. I managed to find some wet spots back off the boat ramp. What makes me very mad is the people who have to speed up and down the road back to the fish camp and get it ruined for the rest of us. Heres some photos of how dry it was.

I was there this past Saturday with a buddy and it was a bit dry. We rode the powerlies all the way to 41st St. and back. We hit up a bunch of the trails and ended up behind the track. It was a bit boring out there , not much to do.

BTW , I was out there on my blue Raptor and my buddy has a Special Edition yellow one.

i saw you guys out thier ^^

It was boring but it beats sitting at school all day. ::)

i agreee

really ? where at bro.

Dang that thing dries out quick. I'm really starting to wonder if it is going to get way worse before it gets any better.

if you were thier this saturday i saw 2 raptors riding around , late about 3:00 to 4:00

Yea I mean there was some WET spots but it was mainly dry. Man I should have worn sunscreen because my sun burn on my pale white arms is killing me, now I know why I havent worn a tank top in years....

I know all that wind didn't help either. I'm sure if you go far enough south it HAS to be wet and nasty still.
Where your truck was was wet and deep just a few weeks ago. This drought REALLY sucks. We are never going to see the Holeylands open again at this rate, and I figure the south side of the alley doesn't have much more time left either.

BRING on the RAIN!!!!

yeah that was us. cool man.

awesome , really nice bikes by the way, and it was funny when one of you guys got stuck and the other friend just continued to ride and did not see the guy stuck

Yeah bring on the rain man.

well im heading out thier saturday morning and lets see what happens

anyone going to be there?
