Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: SMP63 on April 19, 2013, 02:21:45 PM With only 26 miles of trails I'll be in my truck 3 times as long than on my wheeler. Not worth the drive down there!! Ziplines & paintball are not my cup of tea.
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: klutchbuster400 on April 19, 2013, 03:08:04 PM "only 26 miles" That seems like quite a bit, I don't see anythign wrong with that at all :N

Ziplines & paintball are not my cup of tea. Then you should probably not come ??? Maybe after you get more trails!!! Also thats a great business attitude to have before you even open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "only 26 miles" That seems like quite a bit, I don't see anythign wrong with that at all :N 26 miles of trails = about a hour or so of riding time. Well Klutch if want to pay $1.15 per mile to ride the trails plus the cost of driving there go ahead. In my case it would be $2.30 per mile with the 2 wheelers, kind of expensive I think. Croom= $15 per wheeler. Ocala $10 per wheeler with almost 200 miles of trails!!!!! 5A= $0 per wheeler Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: AintSkeered on April 19, 2013, 06:30:56 PM "Most" riders do NOT ride much more than 25 miles per day AND even when they do, "most" make frequent trips back and forth to/fro their car/truck/camp for nourishment, rest, etc.. When they want to ride more than 25 miles of trails they've not already ridden, and don't want to see mud pits, concerts, paintball, etc., they'll go elsewhere. That's all. FT&T isn't telling them not to, but, we do appreciate them for giving us another option!
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: AintSkeered on April 19, 2013, 07:22:24 PM Thanks, we do DP twice yearly, too. And, we live in S.Florida. We can only support and hope you'll gain the popularity(revenue) needed to expand your trails.

I've been following the facebook updates quite frequently (I'm Jesse Dominguez) Really excited to ride just one of those tracks lol!
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: patches206 on April 19, 2013, 10:42:17 PM Well Geno WTF was that response to Smp63. I was hoping DFA was going to come through it did not. Then tracks and trails but with that negative customer service I am wondering. Be positive you get more with honey then vinegar. Oh please do not try to compare your park to durhamtown just yet!
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: svtbolt04 on April 20, 2013, 02:26:29 AM I cant believe people got offended by FT&T's response..
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: SMP63 on April 20, 2013, 07:48:39 AM My replies to this post was not ment to piss in anybodys Cherios! I do not consider myself a naysayer. In my comments at no time did I say I wanted FT&T to fail. I also am not offended
by Jaymans replies. Klutch I undrestand about the lack of legal riding areas in S Fla. & did not tell you not to go! I was just pointing out that as a TRAIL rider (& sometimes mud) that 26 miles of trails is just not enough for ME to shell out $30 bucks a head. I hope FT&T does very well & hope they expand the TRAILS so it WILL be worth the trip for ME. Aintskeered just so you know "most" of the people I ride with log more than 25 miles a day. "Most" of them do not make frequent trips back to the car/truck/camp. "Most" of us carry what we need (food,drinks,extra gas for the longer rides). Heck at 25 miles we are just getting warmed up! LOL! As for FT&T being the Durhamtown for Florida, seriously!!!, 26 miles of trails on flat ground VS 150 miles of trails through hilly terain!! rolback1 rolback1 <sofa peeky> Gotta love your enthusiasm Geno!!! :-* LOL!!!! Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: Andy9933 on April 20, 2013, 12:56:25 PM I would like to see you average 26 mph at croom.....:) carry on.
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: sugarsand007 on April 23, 2013, 01:20:40 PM Have to agree with SM63. A thousand acres isnt much for a day of riding. Hope they are able to purchase more land. I have made several trips to DP but only because the have so much to offer. Wouldnt mind shorter trip if FT&T purchase more land. Hard to drive 4hrs when you have Ocala National forest an hour away.
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: SMP63 on April 23, 2013, 02:33:31 PM I would like to see you average 26 mph at croom.....:) carry on. Thats an impossible feat!!!! Tooo many possessed trees that jump out in front of you & magic vines that reach out & snag handle bars. rolback1 Have to agree with SMP63. A thousand acres isnt much for a day of riding.

Hard to drive 4hrs when you have Ocala National forest an hour away. Klutch has a valid point about lack of legal riding areas down south!!! I do feel bad for them, it must suck. If FT&T does get Monster Trucks & events like it I will probably give it a try. I wonder if the FT&T trails will be open @ night. I do love riding in Ocala!!!!!!!

Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: greenmachine on April 23, 2013, 10:03:06 PM 26 miles of trails in an "hour or so" baahaahaahaa
I have ridden in every place you have mentioned and never seen anyone riding a quad like the 2 in your signature ever averaging 26mph. And what kind of real trail rider just blows through a trail as fast as they can without stopping to enjoy the surroundings unless you're a cross country racer in a race! The good thing here is you have a choice save your money and spend it on gas to go to Ocala. There are more people who would pay to go to an outdoor park to enjoy more amenities than just a trail ride. My family will enjoy everything there. I am sure there are more like me too who will enjoy the parks full assortment of offerings not just a trail. Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: SMP63 on April 24, 2013, 12:04:19 AM Good deal Green, go have a great time & everybody else that wants to go. The last time I checked its a free country!!!!!!!!!!!! The speed limit is 20 mph in Ocala & have no problem doing that. By the way 20 mph is not blowing through trails. You may need to get your eyes checked cause it sounds like you need glasses!! rolback1 The next time we do a group ride your more than welcome to come along & see for yourself.
You know, your right it might take a hour & a half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: svtbolt04 on April 24, 2013, 12:10:43 AM I bet those 26miles would be long enough for you to crack a smile, knowing youre out on your quad with your buddies. Looking back at them, and your best bud gives you the thumbs up to open the throttle a little.
At $30, I'd drive to Madison to ride...oh wait, I have! Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: SMP63 on April 24, 2013, 12:55:28 AM I smile every time I go riding, love it. Getting close to 5,000 miles on Greeny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: cr500pro on April 24, 2013, 09:36:28 AM with $12 to $14million dollars the last thing i would be investing in an atv tract n trails..i it all works out,but ive seen soooooooo many atv parks & mx tracks come n go thru out the years its not even funny..
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: Andy9933 on April 24, 2013, 04:36:20 PM Hell, motoplex was 400 something acres and that was the best place to ride in fl. It's all what you make it to be.
Title: Re: One Way trails FINALLY Post by: greenmachine on April 24, 2013, 08:38:21 PM This place is not just an atv park. That's the point. Atv parks fail due to lack of support they are banking on the fact that an outdoor family adventure park will succeed. I think they are onto something and it seems they have the support of the county. County support has not been seen in the case of any of the recent parks who have had to close.
