That is soooo cool!!! My 12-yr-old was watching with me- he wants to rent a backhoe when we go up to his Grandma's property (on top of Cedar Mtn. in Cedar City- about 100 acres) this summer, and make a track like that. His cousins have a bunch of small motorbikes that they could take up there. Actually there are trails already there (up and down and all around) made by us hiking and the deer that live there. I wonder...

Man, my kids would love that. What a perfect place for boys to grow up!

You mean pedal bike? yup, but the 3 yr old has a hard time with the hills.

But they love playing with their Tonkas, remote control, and just pushing each other on a toy.

I can say that there is no other way that land would get as much use from us.

The grass is filling in now and it looks better/nicer than that footage.

Whats he want the backhoe for? dig a pond? or to play with?

100 acres WOW, I only have like 7.
If I had 100 we would be BIG TIME MX PARK

Those trails sound great, so they haven't brought the bikes there before?

I've never even seen that footage -- or if I have, didn't watch it all.

You should post up some of your recent footage to show you riding around on your 250F. I think some of these BnS'ers might like it.

BW - I am so proud of you guys! That's such a fun family activity. Your cute boys! I see people walking on the park trail with their kids (even super EARLY in the morning, which is crazy for a kid in summer time).

But seriously, that's just awesome. Makes me excited for my own kids to get a little older.

MX and Ima - you guys are too cool! My husband would totally be turned on by MX ladies, gettin' crazy in the dirt. Not to mention a woman who would "take the wheel" on a front-end loader!

BW- Great for you and your son for getting out there so much. Amazing! Keep up the good work and I hope son #2 joins in again soon. Yes, boys are fun!

MXmama- Great video of your track. Sounds fun!

I don't know about hot but it is fun! It's funny but when I go to the track (usually alone) the guys never come up to me. They tend to be shy or something and stay away. Serves my purpose because I am there to ride.

I thought the same thing to, RAR. I'm sure you're thinking that's a great trail to run on! Hey, 3 times around would nearly be a 5K.

Hey thanks y'all, yes we are truly blessed!!

We have walked it the past 2 nights. First night, I forgot the mosquito spray.


I didnt plan on doing it today, but a dusk my boy brought me my tennis shoes and said "its time to go walk the track mommy"

YAY! my very own personal trainer!

I didn't want to but how could I say,"no"?

But of coarse, I am glad we did!!

Thanks a lot bookworm for your inspiration!
