I went and did some today [1] with bro-in-law and friend, we all got bought the 'experience' by SOs for Christmas. Cost them about £60 I think. Wasn't over keen TBH, but came back with cheek to cheek grin. They were 'sports' (heh) quads, 250cc, thumb throttle, left-hand brake and capable of about 60mph on the flat, but this wasn't, not in the slightest - dense woodland, most of the track not much wider than the quad, overtaking out of the question. Which didn't diminish the fun in the slightest - most of it coming from the growing recognition that quads don't bat an eyelid at being driven at 30mph over a foot high vertical obstruction, tyres at 5lbs psi and suspension two foot long. Hard work too - probably had only an hour on the bikes in three sessions, but I was knackered. And very muddy. Can also see how people end up badly injured: By the end of it I was giving it some welly around tight turns, drifting the back-end and hanging off to maximise traction in the mud and it was easy to see how you could end up in a tree if you got it wrong. But bloody good fun, highly recommended. [1] [URL]http://www.action-events.co.uk[/URL] somewhere near Tunbridge Wells in Kent.
