Is 5A wet right now?

[Jupiter Banshee]

I have never been to 5A yet but I have read that it is a good place to hit the trails.
I live in Jupiter so it is a 2+ hour drive for us.

I am wondering what the conditions are like out there currently. We don't really care for the mud so we
are looking for some good trail riding minus the mud.

I have read that they are going to shut it down there sooner or later so I would like to at least go before that happens.

Like most riders on here, I am looking for more places closer to home to ride ......so if anyone knows of places let me know please.

We have been to Florida tracks and trails and it was nice but wet on 2 of the 3 trails.... the tracks were nice though...
We used to go to L-Cross until they went private recently...

while its not flooded out there, it is very wet out there right now.

I have read that they are going to shut it down there sooner or later

that is the word......

going by what I read in your post, 5a more than likely wont be your place for riding.....as its very hard to catch the time of when there isnt a lot of water out there and its just trail riding.   

if you change your mind let me know .....

Newbie to this site and LOVE to reide when i have the time.

Where is 5A?

I live in Sunrise and ride Lebelle (buddy ones property) and the Seminole Reservation(when I can get my Seminole friends to go). I've been to 8th street once but the riding wasn't that great unless you like to WORK for your ride, which is fine with the right crew.

Never been to the humps due to many people telling me that thier trucks got broken into down there.

Anyone know if East Bonita is still open?
Haven't been there since I heard they were towing trucks and trailers from by the pumps.

Really miss the riding over there!!

Where is 5A?

it is off of the scottsmoor exit on 95 .

its kinda  dry out there right now, but we did have some rain the last few days......but if its wet, I highly suggest that you dont go out there alone due to some of the water holes, which can be pretty nasty.

we go out there most saturdays with a group, more than welcome to join.

[Buddah@ppg]

So I am pretty sure i am asking questions already answered somewhere, but here we go...

Is it legal (truely legal) to ride out at 5A?

With a 3 hour plus drive, if it isn't a legal riding area, I will just head to R.R. instead.

[riley804]

it is private land, but people ride out there regardless.      you wont get in trouble for riding out there.

there is rumor / talk of this place shutting down as supposedly a hotel is going to be put up out there...and whether or not this is going to happen, nobody knows.       

[Buddah@ppg]

Thanks Riley.
Guess i will put this spot on the hit list.

Gotta get a new axle for the Mando first. LOL!!!!!!

[riley804]

I have to replace a u-joint on ours, so we will be out for a bit also....

when you are ready to ride, send me a email and we will meet up.

here is a video I did from one ride :

Brad, that was a good video to show them. It had water, mud and the jungle. What else could you want ! LOL

[riley804]

thanks Larry.

I like to give people an idea of what they might get into when they come out there for the first time.

rainy season, its even worse....

this might not be your place on account of mud and water.         right now its on the dry side.....but in a few months when rainy season starts, it will be very, very wet out there.

here is another video.....

OK...... now I REALLY have to get up there.

Looks like my kind of riding for sure! 

[riley804]

OK...... now I REALLY have to get up there.

right now its on the dry side, but we can still find plenty of water to ride in...

like I mentioned before, email me or even little blue 300 as we often ride together and we will show you around out there.

if your snorkeled, even better.

[Buddah@ppg]

Snork'd to the roof bro!!!   

New axle should be here first of the week, then I will be ready to GO.

I'll either hit you up here or i will e-mail you.

Thanks for all the info and the offer to show me the lay of the land.

I'll try to bring a good sized squad from down south.

[riley804]

sounds good....

guess I better get my stuff fixed......

[Buddah@ppg]

I just looked at the I95/Scottsmoor exit on google maps.

Is the 5A area that HUGE area just south of Deering between 95 and US1??

It is a bit of a drive (3hrs) but I am SO down to ride there. lol!!!!!!!!!

[riley804]

correct.

once you get off of 95, the parking lot is right there.

we like to get out there early ( around 8 ) and ride before all the drinkers get there......but we will exchange numbers when the time comes and we will just meet you at the parking lot.

[Buddah@ppg]

AWESOME SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again!!!!
