I got a question for ya. Is this place open to the public to go to ski whenever they want or is it just allowed during the pitt pass weekend? I am assuming its allowed all of the time since you are putting your skis in it. Would it be a good place to learn? I am picking up my ski next weekend. I just won it on ebay tonight. Check out my post in the general section...
 
I got a funny story. Last night my roommate and I went to check out the pits to see if it would be suitable for a big bonfire/party. We went there and checked it out and it was awesome. He went to turn around so we could head back and get everyone and he wasn't looking and drove his grand prix right into some ruts that were used by offroaders. He buried it and we got stuck. Eventually while we were trying to get a ride back to the apartment to get my Jeep to pull him out, six guys came out of the woods in a truck with a quad and a dirtbike on it. The seven of us ended up pushing it out with my roommate driving it. They kept askin "who in the hell would go two-trackin in a grand prix" lol.... but it was just my roommate not watching where he was going. We ended up having a huge bonfire out there last night. That spot is amazing. The lake is huge and it was like glass. There is nobody around either. It was a great time. I have decided that is where I will be learnign to ski when I pick it up next week.

EDIT: Thong Bandit do you know a kid named Zach? My friend Zach was the only person that had heard of the place and he said it was because he had a friend that jetskis there all the time. Could it be you????

not that i know of....alot of people actually ride there.....i told ya that place is bad a$$ theres a few guys that come out there to go wakeboarding all the time as well...


check this out i emailed klq my flier and they answered today that due to insurane reasons they could not sponsor the event but that they would pass the flyer along to all the disk jockeys to read and promote it on the air staring in june and might even come out for a quick remote broadcast and talk to some of the riders to help promote the growth of our sport.

You should contact local recreation vehicle places.

Powers Motor Sports is somewhat near Allendale. You could call some marinas, etc.

I go to GVSU, and live in Spring Lake. I drive by the pits almost every day.

I just picked up a 87 JS550 right near the new light in Eastmanville. I should have it ready to go by then, if not, I will just jump on my 95 750SX.

Sounds like a pretty good time though.

I think with the right promotions, you could make it quite a spectator event. Sure you can get riders, but to have spectators that would be icing on the cake.

KLQ is a great start. WGRD sponsored a car show at GVSU, so maybe you should contact them. They have a sweet van that has a sound system that can play to an audience of 300. They seem to be much more willing to support the community.

I would also try and get WZZM to back you up.

Just a couple thoughts.

Babbitts is pretty expensive, but they are by far the best place around.

Whenever I have major issues I always head over there to get things situated.

only problem is that the hills couldnt get it for two months becuase of it bering back ordered. babbits 6 of the bad boys in stock. babbits large inventory, and higher prices, hills nothing in stock and dirt cheap prices
