I had the pleasure and availabilty to meet one of our forum members yesterday -"bootboy1488" and his buddy in Fayetteville,NC. Since it wasn't but 2-1/2 hrs. away I figured I'd go see his place to play, buggies and meet face to face a couple of our unsung heroes before they deploy in a few weeks.
They've stumbled upon an incredible set of trails and driving/riding area @ the edge of their subdivision. They both have Helix's and when they say they beat them up! THEY MEAN IT!! Hard to believe that guys who jump from planes would enjoy this incredible sport of mini buggies, well there's not doubt in my opinion that they drive like they live. Big
to the manufacturer of the HELIX for building a buggy that can take it and then some.
Due to work schedules we didn't get started till almost dark and drove well into it. This area - I'm guessing is 600+/- acres of hard packed sand trails, ravines, creeks, shallow ponds,hills, banked burms, whoopdee do's and woods that if I was left alone out there would have spent a good amount of time trying to find my way out. I haven't been to any of the commercial ATV parks yet (only watched videos) but this place has it all without an admission fee right down the street from their house.
If you want to test your skill and buggies durabilty this is the spot in NC. We are going to meet up on Friday May 20th for an all day experience at this location. Anyone close should try to come- I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Of course without admission comes lack of luxuries- No toilets,no snackbar and no lien waivers. Ride/drive at your own risk and come prepared with food and drinks. There is areas to park with your trailers and no fear of the Police running us off. I've only been into go karts/buggies for a short while and not been away from our 65 acre trails, this was absolutely AWESOME and you can personally shake the hand of these men that work so hard to keep us safe and free to have this as a hobby.
Bootboy1488 is going to get us a detailed map off the main hwy in Fayetteville.
