i live near flint, only "legal" place to ride is 45 minutes away in mount morris, the mounds orv park, its pretty nice, lots of room and plenty of trails.

are you close to st. Helen mi? theres miles and miles of trails, and sand hills up there, its probably my favorite place to ride but its 1.5-2 hrs away from flint.

other than that i ride in places i probably shouldn't lol

I agree with atcrider1, bundy hill is a great place to ride-it's east from you but it's a ton of fun. I've heard great things about silverlake as well-I'll get out there someday.

I live in Howell MI (Livingston county) all public riding areas are atleast 45 mins away and a all day event type thing. I live in the middle of to where and the whole neighborhood rides. so we ride at each others house. neighbors have 25 acres, but it gets very boring quick. thats why we all (well most of us) went down from 450s, raptors, banshees, 400EXs to trikes and pit bikes. you dont need as much land to have a fun time on slow stuff. we have dirt road we ride illegally and the cherry tops have become less tolerant over the last 10 years or so (because development have grown out here)
we do go up north to silver lake often (LOVE IT, though the guys on pit bikes cant go lol) and also ride on the miles and miles of trails in rose city MI (cant make it to the ride guys, i had a surgery and get my foot cast off aug 17th) we esp like bull gap in rose city. (alot of whoops though, kills your body in every way). as for anything close, southern MI is SOL other than private property as far as i know. it sucks... =(

Go to Bundy Hill down by Jackson, Mi. You will not be disappointed. You can ride all day and never see the whole place. You will need a flag and reasonable exhaust and $15 to get in. They will also rent/sell flags.

so guys i was looking at bundy hill videos on youtube and alot of it looks like big hill climbs and it seems pretty hard core. is there any easier trails and things out there? we want a spot we can take my mom to go riding but everything looked pretty intense. i must say even for me being on a 110 alot looked pretty harsh.

There are a couple family areas, and the main trails are easy. But to be honest you gotta have at least 200cc's in my opinion-really 350cc and up would be ideal. Bundy is a ton of fun-your mom could just hang out in the scramble areas and she could do that pretty easily.

its definately family friendly,there is a family area and tons of straight roads.mom would love it and there are venders out there

I totally agree Harry. Bundy is huge, you can ride all day and not hit the same trail. The have everything from mild to wild, obviously the further away yu get from the parking area the rougher it gets :)
Nobody would watch the vids on you tube if the weren't the exciting crazy trails and hill climbs.

her is some pics from our last trip. notice the 110 in the back of the truck. lol i didn't actually take it out though. i was on a 300ex and before i got a chance to take the 110 out the banshee and 250r lost their flag mounts so we left. =(
