micorps1 Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 SPOIN39, Does that place to ride in Indiana have alot of woodland type riding? Or do they have a website to get more information? I am in Iraq right now and would like to go riding somewhere with my brother, we would be driving from MN so that isnt to bad of a drive, we do not have sand paddles so we need terrain other than dunes. But the time frame that i am looking at would be the beginning of May sometime since i get back from here middle of april, take care talk soon Tim Quote
mrmatt Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 The portion of the Badlands that you can ride a quad is about half woods and half sand/pea gravel hills. 1/3 of the woods is usually flooded for about 3-4 months of the year. Unfortunately this is some of the best (read: high speed) woods riding. You do not want paddle tires to ride at the Badlands. There are a few places where the sand/pea gravel is soft enough to use them, but a very significant portion of the sand is very hard packed. A few people ride there with paddles, but I would expect that it would be very easy to damage them there. There is also another 200 or so acres of the Badlands that is reserved for Jeeps and trucks. Here is their website:www.badlandsoffroad.com Quote
spoin39 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Go with what Mrmatt said about the Badlands, and if you were talking about Haspin Acres it is almost all woods, hillclimbs, and trails everywhere. There is 2 moto tracks, one is small (and rough as hell) the other is more of a grandprix, has jumps but not huge and very long sections. Quote
micorps1 Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 Hey thank you for the reply, Haspin sounds like the riding we like. Right now there would be two banshees but we know alot of friends we might try to get to come with us, most of them also ride shees, but thank you for the help sounds like a good time Tim Quote

spoin39 Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 Yes, mostly woods, so many trails that it is confusing! 2 motoX tracks and a dragstrip. Let me know if anyone on here wants to go sometime. Quote
scotts96fast Posted February 3, 2004 Report Posted February 3, 2004 So where is Haspin?Near badlands... Quote
spoin39 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 It is more south and east, in a small town called Laurel, IN. It is a good place to go, about the same size as Badlands.......maybe bigger. Trails all over the place! Some good hill climbs, motox tracks(2) and a dragstrip! I say we get a midwest roostfest going this spring/summer. Quote
