Has anyone been on that trail lately? If so, have they changed it in any way? Is it longer, shorter, any jumps??

I was on it about two months ago. They extended the trail. There was a short loop that was 5 or 6 miles long, and there is an extended trail that's quite a bit longer...i want to say 13 miles?

Yeah but no wide quads for those trails, you get stuck inbetween the trees. There's alot of stumps and roots all over.

Personally I didn't like the trail. It's slow, hot and sticky with no wind, like Toomey said - narrow - a stock sport quad will just fit through the trail in places rubbing tires on trees on both sides. I'm always worried about a stump or rock in an a-arm in spots where there's nowhere to go around. You make any error while going fast, and you're in a tree or ditch.
Might be good for the bike guys? Maybe after a few more times around I'll start liking it? Anybody else here like the woods trail?

Come on you guys...
I personally LOVE that trail...I would go as far to say it is one of the best places to practice XC...it is almost a 3 hour drive for us and it is worth every bit of it.
The trail is rough, rocky, and tight but that is what makes you a better rider...the harder you practice the faster you get.
I would understand if you were a casual trail rider (which is ok) that it may not be as fun for you...but as a racer it is a challenge...most courses here is Florida do not have as much variety.

RG47, let me ask this. Would you like it better if there were fewer stumps and rocks?
My concern is the cost of damaging my a-arms and tires. I haven't given up on the trail though. The two times I rode it, I was with new riders that had only been on a machine a couple times before, and it was ungodly hot, and we were just puttering along. One of these days when its cool I'm going out there with a few more seasoned riders and try it again.
By the way RG47, I met Carlos from Image Racing at the track one time. Seemed like a real nice guy.

I agree, there's only one trail and it's too narrow with lots of stumps and sharp rocks. However, I think it would be some fun at night.

If you guys are talking about Seminole (Big Cypress) I'll have to agree with Jennifer, is a nice challenge to go on this trail, and it show your skills, we race on those woods not long a go, and it was hard but I enjoy a lot, now if we raced here, and didn't have that many quad stocked on the woods I don't see why are you guys to brake your quads if you'll be just riding .
It is a nice ride, just my opinion !!!

Carlos is a GREAT guy and he has a great company
I have never bent anything on the Seminole trail...but I understand your concern
It is no fun having to fix your quad...I know how that is!!
Hey...since you haven't given up on Seminole...maybe I will see ya out there sometime over the summer...I plan on spending lots of time there preparing for the 05-06 FTR and GNCC series

So I guess it is the same with no new jumps or difference in lengths. IMO I think the trail is one the best ways to stay in shape for riding. Personally, I like it and friends with extended Arms and axles do like as well. The stumps and rocks can be cleaned up a bit but that is what riding is about.
