I don't have everything set up yet, but I know a lot of you wanted to know the dates of the ride. I will post more info as I get it. Looks like this time we might be able to have a night ride there. That should be a blast. I will post more ASAP.

By Bonnie and Roger on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Troy:
Thanks for the dates. I have it on our calandar. We are ready for an escape weekend. I hope we do get to go. They are changing Roger over to another screwed up schedule. It will take a lot of our weekends away. I hope the new schedule pans out for this one. We are going to plan on seeing everyone there.

I would like to make it to the Badlands run in June. I have the Vacation all set. I live in Jackson Mi. and would leaving here on Friday morning the 21st. Are there motels in the area and has anyone got phone numbers for them. What are the rules in the Badlands. Do we need flags and so on?
I see they had a great time in Humphery last weekend. I will be there in July. Had a great time in 2000/2001. Hope to meet you all in Attica in June. Larry (Sti-Me)

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Larry, there are hotels in Danville, IL. It is about 20 min drive from the park. I am talking with all of them to try to see which will give us the best price for a room. I will post the #'s when I can get the best price for people. The rules are basically, you need a flag and everyone riding and/or driving will need a helment. In the past, they have dropped he helment if you have a rollbar and seatbelts on your atv. I will post as much as I can sa soon as I can get all the facts for everyone. Hope to see you there, you will love the place.

Troy, count me in on the june attica ride!!!!
I will talk to Jon and see if he wants to set up a camp fire party after the ride at summers carroll camp ground like we did last year. Matt

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Yes, everyone,
The argogeru will have the second annual summers carroll campground bon fire once again. All are welcome to come and enjoy the fireside entertainment of yours truely. I hope the turnout is good, and I will not start the fire with ether this year, I will do it the old fashion way. Hope to see you their. Jon Hoath.

By RickMoMoBigfoot on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I'm going and my buddy Mark"yellow bigfoot" will be there too. I loved the last time we went.I think there was about 60 or 70 machines there.It's great riding in groups.See every one there, Rick

By matt435 on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Jon, I talked with summers carroll today. I have the sites reserved next to yours so we can have a big turn out for the camp fire. Also if anyone else would like to join us at the camp ground the phone number is 1-765-762-2832 Jon and I have site # 22 and 23 reserved in section D for friday and saturday night. There is enof room on those two sites for 5 big RV's I talked with the owners and they said it was ok to have others camp right with us (for a small fee) or they can have there own camp site next to ours. I can't wait for the fun to start. Matt

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I will be there of course, but I might need to ride with someone. I will be having shoulder surgery in the morning tomorrow. I might not be able to drive my the ride. Hope we have a good turn out for the ride. See you all there.

By Larry W. Stimer (52866) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I'm checking to see if I can get vaction for June 21st/24th. If so I will be at the Badlands ride. Can't wait to ride there. If so I will leave Jackson Mi. early Friday morning. Anyone from Mi.leaving at the same time? (About 5AM) Argogeru, what route do you take to Attica? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hope to see you all there. Larry (Sti-Me)

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Larry,
I will be leaving friday morning also, I dont think at 5 though probably around 7 or 8. I normally go to ft. wayne and take some highway west, not sure dont have a map, but it takes 3 1/2 hrs. if you want to meet me at my place or coldwater to head down let me know, send me an email. I am camping at summers carrol campground.

By Alan Meeuwsen (Albo) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Larry,
I also live in Jackson and am planning to go to the Badlands ride depending on when my wife has her hand operated on. We should find out Thursday.
If that don't interfere then we will be leaving Friday morning also but probably not quite that early. We had a great time at the Badlands last year, it's a great place to ride, and I'm sure you will like it also. Do you know where you will be staying yet? If you need it I have a list from last year of hotels and campgrounds in the area with phone numbers for them. If you need the list let me know and I will e-mail it to you.
See you at the Badlands hopefully! Al

i am new to this,been riding my bigfoot for 2 years.seen pics of badlands,never been there.coming from the flat lands of kansas.i have riden at deepwater,and fingerlakes.both in my opinion great places to ride.am interested in camp setups there and other regs.thanks mike

By Russell Lee (Bigkodiak) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Geru,
I have decided to come to this ride for two reasons. You said it's a great ride, and I need to get the *!#@ away from work for a few days. Mapquest has it at almost 700 miles so I will probably be leaving on Thursday night. I have reserved space D24 next to you guys. I was quoted $18.00 a night.
CYA there
Russ

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

russ,
sweet!! I will be ariving around 10:00 on friday evening, work interfered with me arriving sooner. see you their.

By Roger and Bonnie on Unrecorded Date: Edit

It looks like Roger and I will be coming to the Badlands ride. It looks like he is going to be able to get away from work. We are bringing another couple with us that run an Argo 8 wheeler. They have never been on a ride. The 8 wheeler is used for hunting. They'll be a little more causious riders like us. (I'm the chicken). The last run we were on was last September at the Badlands. We've not been able to break away from home for a million reasons, most of which is Rogers work. What time are we getting to the gate at the Badlands. Hopefully we'll be there for at least part of Sunday also. It depends on when Roger has to get back to work.

See you there.

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

is it true that we have to wear helmets now even though we have a roll bar and seatbelts at the badlands? Troy? Anyone? SOB! Matt will receive a complimentary first aid kit and a three point harness, when you see his bigfoot in a couple weeks you will know why. see ya all their. dont forget the second annual summers caroll bonfire at campsite 23 friday and saturday night, starting at 9:00 friday. YEEEHAAA!!!

By matt435 on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I don't know about that chicken stuff Bonnie. I seem to remember getting a pretty big spash in the mud hole from you and roger on the last Attica ride. All in good fun. Matt


P.S. be ready...
I can't wait to see rogers face when he see's what I have done to the big foot.

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Argogeru,
The owner hasn't said anything to me about that. I hope not, I got a new demo with roll cage and didn't want to wear a helmet. I will call and find out. I am still trying to get them to let us have a night ride on Sat night before the bonfire.

By matt435 on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Troy,
Please send Richard all the info on the Attica ride so he can post it in the event section. There might be alot of people that go look at the event section but not read our post's. Can't wait to see you all there. Matt

P.S. Jon bring that first aid kit. You might need it when the bandolero comes for you!!!

By Bonnie and Roger on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I emailed the Badlands. They said that EVERYBODY WEARS A HELMET. No exceptions. It'll be hot an sweaty and ladies, our hair will really look like crap, but we'll be having fun.

By bigkodiak on Unrecorded Date: Edit

What is the fee, if any, to get into the badlands? Will they accept a half helmet? Can someone post directions to the riding area?
Russ

By Not Going on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I was planning on going to the Badlands ride. I was there last September. It was one of the best places i have been to for riding in over 15 years of ATV and AATV riding. I was planning on going to this ride untill I found out about the helmet thing. I do hope everybody else has a great time. I will not be back untill they repeal the helmet rule.

By the way I do wear a helmet when I am on my Harley and my snowmobile. I am not anti-helmet. Just anti-helmet on my MAX IV.

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Matt, I am having problems posting lately. I have sent an email 3 times to Richard, I got an reply from Richard over the weekend saying that he has not recieved any emails yet. Hopefully he will post it today. Hopefully everyone will see this today. Most of my posts don't get posted.

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Ok guys/gals, I think I got it so we will not have to wear a helmet for the ride. This is not for sure, but if they do, here will be the new rule for us.

You must have both, searbelts & roll bar/cage.
You must sign a waver/release form.

I should know for sure today I hope. I will post when I find out.

By Tim (Emailatv) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I am trying to get everything ready to go to the badlands, but I have a question. Is there going to be somebody that is going have the power and guts to pull me out wen I get stuck. Last time I had to use a truck to pull it back to the road. I have a BIG MAX.

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

This Badlands ride is sounding better all the time! It looks like a few of us will be attending from western NY. If someone could please post the "details" of where we will meet and camp, road directions etc. it would sure be appreciated by us first-timers. To Mr not-going I would not miss an event like this over wearing a helmet. Pick up an inexpensive half or quarter helmet with a DOT sticker on it and that will satisfy most authorities. They are light and you barely know that you are wearing them. We keep just such helmets around for when we ride Alleghany National Forest in PA.(one section of which was recently made available for use by AATVs)

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

John,
Glad to see you are coming, who all is coming with you? We are staying at summers carroll campground, it is north of attica about 6 miles,
DIRECTIONS;
From attica: take state road 41 north to state road 55 north (turn right) 6 miles, then left on county road 500 north 1 mile to county road 200E. turn right, one half mile down on the right, their are signs, it is not as hard to find as it sounds, we are staying in sights 23,22, 24 and the owner said he was going to arrange the sights so other aatvers that arrive or reserve late can camp by us. it will be a blast. the phone number is (765)-762-2832.

By matt435 on Unrecorded Date: Edit

John, you and your friends are more than welcome to camp on my site. Jon and I reserved a whole lot of space at summers carroll camp ground. See earlier post on this string for info. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me. Matt

By bigkodiak on Unrecorded Date: Edit

John
I am staying next to Geru and Matt. I will be by myself so there will be plenty of room for another.
I should be arriving mid-day Friday. I am coming from South central PA, if you would like to try and hook up somewhere on the road. I haven't made a mapped route yet though.
Geru
Do you know if Tom or Jim will be coming?
Russ

By Roger and Bonnie on Unrecorded Date: Edit

If you can get the ok on no helmets as long as you have roll bars and seatbelts, it will be great. I know many will still have to wear the helmets, but maybe it'll prompt a few more to come that do have the roll bars and seatbelts. You are certainly getting a giant step further than I did with my email. I agree with New York. We'd be there helmets rule or not.

By David Keeso (Argomag) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Although I am not going, I know that rollovers hurt a lot if you get completely rolled. (look for the my post in the rollover section) I rolled this last weekend and would have loved to have had a helmet on for better protection!

Hope you guys have a great time. Ontario will be there in a couple years!

By argogeru on Unrecorded Date: Edit

russ,
not sure about tom or jim. hey, jimmy you still reading this everyday? email I you are and let me know if you guys are coming.

By Tom Fogal (Tgfogal) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

What are the dimensions for the Flag. Pole hieght, flag size and color. Are flags available some where or do we make them.
Is anyone leaving from Minnesota on Friday morning?

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I got the final word from the owner of The Badlands.

NO HELMETS is needed if you have a roll bar, seatbelts, and will sign the waver/release sheet.

If you don't have a roll bar and seatbelts you will need to wear a helmet.

Hope to see everone out there. We will all have fun.

By Eddie Beddingfield on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Reservations are made, I dont have a rollbar,but I would not miss a Midwest ATV ride because of it.I will be leaving central Il. friday evening and staying in Danville. See everyone there. Eddie Beddingfield

Brandon, are you going to make the Badlands run this time. At least you won't have to worry about all that paper work.

I just bought a $5.00 bicycle flag from Walmart to use. from the pictures of last years ride that appears to be ample.

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Thanks everyone for the campsite invites. I plan to arrive around 4pm friday. I will have my truck and enclosed trailer and my companions will have a medium-sized motor home and trailer. It sounds like the camp area is pretty flexible so I guess we can figure out who will camp where when we get there. I am assuming that we can ride from where we camp, someone correct me if I assumed wrong. I plan to put together a video of the weekend so everyone get a haircut, polish your machine so as to look your best! There will be a good opportunity for a certain someone to jump there Max into the water. Hmm? I wonder if a Max will outjump an Argo? That should start something.

By j8wheel on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Argoguru, I wont be able to make the badlands ride, I dont think Tom can make it either, but I will be at the New York ride, Tom showed me the pics of you guys in New York in April, looks like you had some fun in the "mudhole", hope you have fun in Badlands, take plenty of pics, 8-wheelers rule!!! lol, have fun guys. Jim

By MaxRules (Brandon_price) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I'll be there again this year. I will probably be in the motel with Troy and Bud but I'm sure we will join the campfire gang like we did last year.
John, you can't ride from your campsite to the Badlands. These are separate places miles away. We usually ride from when the park opens (9am) to about 6pm or so, then go to the campground or motel. Flags from Wal-Mart are fine and the Badlands also sells their own flags, at a slightly higher price.
The big water jump is in Deepwater, Missouri. We do a lot of splashing at the Badlands but there are no big jumps. Besides, you know a Max will jump better. That true six wheel drive gives better air traction...

By newmax on Unrecorded Date: Edit

brandon are you still a 4x4 fan? have you figured out which one is better? can the 4x4 go places the max can't

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Brandon- thanks for the info. I am looking forward to meeting you and some of the other people on this site. Darn ,I was hoping to get those 6x6 in-the-air videos but I guess I will have to wait. I am sure that there will be plenty of other good action to catch. The freinds that were coming with me withdrew prematurely(don't you hate that) so I will be coming alone. See you all there!

By mike martindale (Wetsu) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

man i'll tell you what,
you miss a couple of days here and you miss abunch.i guess i need to kick my kids off this thing more often.i was really hoping to come to the badlands,but my wife and my money ( or the lack there of ) won't allow it.john i was hoping to show just how well an argo flies.and i don't mean into water either.i try not to do that to much as my knees are still trying to recover from last winter.maybe next year.or maybe troy will set up another ride in deepwater. we'll see. i was really hoping to meet some more riders,but i guess it will have to wait.as far as helmets go.they like everything else have there place.i do however think it sould up to the rider as to wear it or not.you all have fun,stay safe,(to an extent)and maybe we can hook up in the future.
mike( wetsu )

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Mike,
I plan on having another ride at Deepwater this year and another one at The Badlands this year also. Sorry you can't make it this weekend. Can't wait, this should be a great weekend to ride. Hope to see a bunch of you guys/gals at The Badlands.

By bigkodiak on Unrecorded Date: Edit

OK guys,
The truck is packed, the maps are ready, and the Argo is on the trailer. I am going to get a few hours of sleep and then will start the 600+ mile trek to the Badlands.
Hope to see ya'll there tomorrow around 1 or 2.

By Bonnie & Roger on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I posted a message as soon as we returned home on Sunday, I guess it went to the great unknown.

We had a great time at the Badlands. We can ride down the road at home but it takes someplace like the Badlands to really find the mud holes. Thanks Matt for pulling us out. Also thanks to Brandon and Troy for another pull out. We really had fun and I guess would take the prize on the two muddiest people. Matt, you have one awsome machine built up. Roger was really impressed. Argo should consult with you and they'd have a better machine. Those tires and engine really walk and talk. They get the job done. Let us know how they work on a stock ARGO.
Did the night ride happen? Once we got in the motel room with the air-conditioning, we decided to stay put. We opted not to ride on Sunday as we had picked up too much sunburn. We didn't know how bad until we washed off the mud.
It was great to see all of you again and we look forward to seeing you again in the fall. Troy, has a date been set yet? Let us know.
Those of you who did not make it really missed a weekend with every possible obstacle, from sand to really mean mud.

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I want to thank all who came to the ride last weekend. I had a blast and I think most if not everyone had a good time. The night ride was real fun. Hope everyone had a safe trip home.

Jon & Matt,
How is the couple in the yellow Argo? Having a brain fart and can't remember their names. I hope they are both ok.

By Tom Fogal (Tgfogal) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Hi to All
My wife Jerri and I had a great time meeting everyone and riding at the Badlands. It is an amazing place to ride!!

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Talked to the owners of The badlands and the only open date in Sept is the first weekend, Sept 7th & 8th. That will be the date for the next ride out there. We will try to have another night ride again and maybe be able to ride longer in the night this time.

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Thanks to Troy and Bud for organizing the Badlands trip. What a great time!! I was skeptical about driving nine hours to ride in a 700 acre gravel pit but it far exceeded my expectations. That orange trail is the best I have ever experienced.The night ride was the highlight of the weekend for me. I just finished the master of the video. I will start copying tomorrow, the first ones will be in wednesday pm mail. It is a great video,about two hours long. Some of the highlights are Roger and Bonnie doing what appears to be the macarena on the hood of their Argo trying to get unstuck and Dave almost going swimming, again trying to get unstuck. Do you see a theme here?
I do not have an email address for Dave and Michelle and I too was concerned about her welfare after their mishap. If anyone knows anything please post it.Count me in for the september ride!!

By RickMoMoBigfoot on Unrecorded Date: Edit

I had a great time at the ride.thanks troy and bud.The night ride was great.That place is diffrent kind of cool at night.I thank Ron for building the roll bar for the bigfoot.And Matt for haulin it there.I came back sunday and rode til 5:30 with Mark . We sent about an hour trying to get unstuck.Some mud hole that had a name sign on the tree.We didn't see anyone else when we got back to parking area.I'll have my winch on by next time i ride.Mark got one from the badlands so he'll have one to.That big guy at badlands office told me and mark that michelle hit her head on rollbar but he didn't know how she was.Does anyone know,did dave get hert too. Please post some info. Don't think i'll get to go to the sept.badland ride . wifes b-day is the 7th.So I'll go to the next deepwater ride. later all, Rick

To everyone who ordered a Badlands Ride video: It is Thursday AM and they are all in the mail. Get some popcorn and a few brews ready, it is two hours long and very entertaining.A special thanks to Jon, Bud and others who offered to operate the camera so that I could be in front of the camera making a fool of myself instead of always behind it.

what happened with Dave and Michelle? Did they roll or what?
Russ

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Hi Russ, Dave told me that they got a little lost trying to make their way back to the truck and ended up on that series of five way-to-cool razorbacks that we went over on the night ride. He said he misjudged something and they rolled it. He said Michelle had"a pretty good gash" on her head and he was going to take her to get medical attention. That is all I know.

By bigkodiak on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Damn that sucks. Hopefully someone can get us some more info. If anyone talks to them let them know we are thinkin about them.

It is july 5 th and still no Badlands tape. Has anyone got theirs yet. I know mail is slow but a week from NY. is rediculous. If the video guy is reading please see if one was sent out to me. Eddie Beddingfield

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Hi Eddie, Yours was mailed out the same day , June 27th with the rest of them. I'll bet it is being loaded on to a camel somewhere even as we speak. If it makes you feel any better no one else has told me that they received theirs yet either. You are going to like the tape. My email is jsschwab@localnet.com if you need to contact me.

By Midwest atv's #1 since 2000 (Hustler) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

John,
I haven't recieved mine yet also. I will see if it comes in this week.

I have sold about half of the raffle tkts you gave us to sell. I had more sold from the place that I worked full time, WorldCom. But my wife who worked there and myself both got laid off June 28 when they laid off 17,000 people. Right now my first priority is getting another job so my family can have food and shelter over our heads. I also don't have a computer anymore so my email address is no good anymore. If you or anyone else need to get in touch with me, email me at sales@maxatv.com

We got the tape Monday, you did a great job.
Thanks

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Thanks Tom. Sometimes taking that camera out and trying to capture a weekend is a royal pain, but when someone says that they enjoy the end product it makes it worthwhile. That is also why it will remain a hobby, never a business.

I got my video on Monday as well. It looks great. This was some great footage.
See ya in 10 days.

Hi Russ I am glad you are enjoying it. I'll bet you especially like the part where you damn near drowned me at the water slide. That came out real good on the video! I am still cleaning mud and water out of places that I have never had to clean before after that one! See you at the Jamboree.

The bigfoot has been riveted back together but I still need to put the new blower in and get it cleaned up. Other than that I am ready to rock. Becky is going to give Matt some shirts to deliver to me...don't let him wipe his A** with them.

I got my tape today. I like it. Thanks for the tape. I will be sending you the money for the tkts this Monday next day air.

By John Schwab (Johnschwab) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Hi Russ.. Yeah I got the water out of my ears finally, but I still haven't been able to get those Indiana stains out of my favorite vintage Humphrey dice run tee shirt. Oh well remind me to wear brown next time.

Hustler.. Thank you for selling the raffle tickets. Someone is going to get a new Max11 for $5, not a bad deal. Maybe we will raffle an Argo again next year.

Jon ... Yours was mailed the same day as the rest. Perhaps it is stuck in the snow somewhere, is it still snowing up in Michigan? We hear that about Buffalo all the time, I couldn't resist. We are doing the Youghiogheny this weekend in kayaks, if I survive I will see you all at the Jamboree!!

By Bonnie and Roger on Unrecorded Date: Edit

John, we received our tape of the Badlands on Tuesday. You really made a good tape. Thanks
