Extreme Roc Rigs

February Jam

Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by xrr in Events, News, Trail Report

This past February Extreme Roc Rigs attended the February Jam Ride that was located in the Huntland, TN.  The terrain east of I-65 and west of I-24 in Tennessee is in our opinion some of the best trails on this side of the Mississippi.  However over the years most of this land has been closed to the public by private owners because of abuse.  Trails that were once enjoyed now have gates installed and locked.  Some land owners have in recent years, have allowed small groups, such as local 4 wheel-drive clubs  access for a day in exchange for help cleaning up the trash left by others or to remove trees and debris from the trails.  Other trails have recently been opened for a minimal fee or donations to the community centers wherever the trail head maybe.

This year’s ride was a cold and wet one with periods of rain and snow all day after paying to ride, our group as well as Coleworx and many others headed down the mountain to enjoy some of these trails.  The trail conditions were extremely bad because of the amount of rain the area had received during the week prior to the ride. Creeks had become rivers and dry rock ledges were now huge waterfalls.

Almost everyone incurred some type of break or damage but the well built rigs held up to the brutal terrain.
