Uberoo Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 have a backhoe or skidsteer?if not rent one for a day or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 personally i'd kick everyone off and hunt. what we do is get an old car hood. strap huge foam pads too it. when it snows you can fit up to 3 people on it and drag it behind a vehicle in the snow. we wear full on motorcycle helmets though, so i in no way recommend this....proper disclaimers, i'm not responsible, you will get hurt, etc. can be done in the mud too or with huge pieces of carpet, but snow and an old volvo hood do well.

Uberoo Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Why do you need snow or mud to drag a hood behind a car?Just use the probally existing tall grass a helmet?I suppose... or you can run without one just have a long tow rope and dont fall off... Whats this foam or carpet I hear about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) depends on terrain and kind of driving. the hills we sled/snow tube on have resulted in hospital visits for broken bones, KO's, separated shoulders. 150 mph without a helmet? 180's at 50 mph? that's an exaggeration but the point remains - where to draw the line? foam/carpet just makes for a smoother ride.

The Beast I Drive Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 With 300 acres, if it is all pretty much flat land, you have a lot of possibilities. I would definitely make a small-scale off-road setup, something to just have some weekend fun on (mud pit, some big rocks to climb on, maybe some other "custom" challenges) and for sure would need a rally course, and a more aggressive Tuff Truck course. Id leave a nice large area open and just make it grass. Then install some facilities (some bathrooms, maybe an outdoor eating establishment, and some water spouts here and there), set up a stage and then get some good insurance and start hosting shows/events Of course, if it were me, the back 40 acres would be my private collection of parts cars -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeke Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course, if it were me, the back 40 acres would be my private collection of parts cars -Bill No doubt. Forks is fairly not flat but you have a good idea going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
