I used to ride a Banshee there. I am in for going with the jeep. There were plenty of spots that would be fun to crawl around in.

Ive been to big rock at least or hundred or so times with my dirt bike and friends who ride quads and theres is some hairy stuff there for any type of vehicle you just have to know where to go.Most of it is in the back of the park where not alot of people go. I know the widow maker would be interesting to go up in a rig. You just basically have to pick a trail and go.lol.you will find hills and creek beds, along with some mud pits, and there are a few ponds that ive seen quads try to get through and lets just say it was deeper than they ever expected. point is you have to find the hills, i know when they first had it opened to rigs they were only allowed in a certain area and I believe it really wasnt that great for the rigs to have a wide variety of terrain. but best of luck to you all in your rigs ive been stranded in the park before with snapped handle bars and a buddy who had a dead battery but duke is always there to help in anyway.

I agree with the insurance thing.i believe duke(the owner) is trying to keep away from big rock turning into another haspin.as far as trails go i think its smart to n not allow solo riders because it gets pretty risky just on quads and dirtbikes with just two guys.whenever i go i like to have at least three people that way if someone gets hurt or breaks down one can stay and the other can leave to get help especially if the people in the griup dont know the trails there that well. i have been in those situations needing assistance and its nice to have someone there to stay and one to go get help with experience with the trails. it can take 10 minutes or longer depending on trail conditions to get from the back of the park to the front for help with someone who knows how to get there. and for the spare tire regulations thats smart considering the trails there are somewhat difficult in areas. oh also watch out for trees in the middle of the trails especially on hills a buddy was going up on a qquad 3rd gear pinned and hit a rock and nailed a tree.

Solo riders getting stuck and him having to rescue them was a problem before, thus the reasoning behind the solo rule.

I would guess the insurance rule is is also to keep the unsafe, drunk guy in a barn built out of exhuast pipe tube buggy out. Probably if you showe dup in a respectable looking 4x4 rig you could slide through.

Ive been on several rdes where tags and insurance was mandontory but I was never asked for proof.

As far as insurance coving stuff, if I run into your vehicle out in the woods with my trail rig, your vehicle is covered as long as there is an accident report. This is base don what State Farm told me. My agent knows exactly what I use my BroncoII for and said any mishaps out in the woods will be covered.

there is some more ifno on thier facebook page

I have talked to 3 different agents for 3 different companys start farm, progressice and all state and they all told me that if something happens out in the woods they would not cover it b/c it was not on a road and that is were ther coverage is good at.
that is the whole reason I do not have any insurace on my off road rigs now

I dont trailer very often anymore so I keep insurance for the purpose of street driving but I did look into what would happen if it rolled down a hill and smashed someone elses ride, as far as my agent is concerned if there is an accident report they will cover the other vehicle and passangers in it. Of course if they REALLY will or not, hopefully I never have to find out

Can't wait to check this place out.....I've seen the insurance rule in most parks and even hear clubs require it. Never have been asked to produce the proof though. I have always carried insurance,you never know... It's interesting to hear agents saying when you leave the road they won't cover you.

Agreed, if the rig is on the road, it needs insurance. If it is going to be trailered, then I don't see the need.

Also, food for thought, if it is liability that is a concern, an ATV can do some mean damage as well and is more likely to roll over or go out of control.

JeffK5 · 02-12-2010, 04:56 PM

They're putting insurance restrictions on "full size" rigs to keep the extreme fringe wheelers out...they want a group of respectful , orderly off roaders with semi-built rigs.... that's where the money is.

I'd much rather flop down a hill in Carwash or Yellowjacket's "non-insured" tube rig than some street driven TJ with 35" mt's and a show bar.

I fail to see how they equate "insured" with "safe-to-wheel" as they don't have to go hand in hand and take a skilled eye to distinguish.

Thank you for articulating this in a non monetary fashion.
