What to lookout for when searching for the right ATV dealer

These days there are just too many ATV dealers around – so much so that one could easily get confused with the name “ATV dealer” itself. To some, ATV dealers mean people who distributes ATVs to shops that sells ATVs, while some figures it simply mean that ATV dealers are people who sell ATVs to everyone – from the distributors to the retailers and not forgetting, the end users too. There are some who think that ATV dealers are manufacturers of ATVs as well!

Actually, the term “ATV dealer” may be wide but personally, I feel that as long as you are able to purchase an ATV from them and also get the after sales service that you’d need from them – they can be ATV dealers, ATV distributors, ATV wholesalers, or whatever other names that you can come up with. My biggest concern about buying ATVs is finding the right ATV dealer. What makes an ATV dealer the right one for you? Is it the price of their ATVs or the performance of their ATVs? If you have never bought an ATV before, I am sure that this article will be just the one you need to read – so let’s have a little “chat” on finding the right ATV dealer.

When you go hunting for an adult ATV, you will soon find that adult ATV dealers are a lot easier to find – they are practically everywhere. With a click of the mouse on the internet, you can practically find more than one ATV dealer in almost every state in the country. But, if you are on the lookout for a Kid ATV, it would be better to go to a dealer who specializes in manufacturing and selling ATVs for kids or youth. Yes, it is without doubt that most, if not all, adult ATV dealers also sell ATVs for kids or youth, but they may not be as focused on these items compared to Kid ATV dealers who concentrate on their sales of Kid or youth ATVs. One good place for you to check out is www.kidatv.com When you negotiate with a Kid ATV dealer, you can be assured that they know what they are talking about when they present to you the choices of their Kid ATVs because it is what they do best – selling Kid ATVs. They can even tell you which model would be best for your kid, simply because they are professionals when it comes to selling Kid ATVs.

Another great way to finding the right ATV dealer is by word of recommendation from friends or family members who have bought their ATVs from a reliable source. Before you pick out the ATV dealer to deal with, it is best to ask your friends or family members on the few ATV dealers that you are interested in and see what they have to say about them. If you do not know of anyone who is an ardent ATV fan, you could always post your questions about ATV dealers at the forums at websites like www.jackel.com or www.atvoutdoors.net and let the “professionals” help you out! In the ATV world, you are never alone. Have fun seeking your trusted ATV dealer!

Where should I start in order to build an ATV/MX track?

My father has partioned off 5 acres of his land for me and my nephews to build a atv/mx park. The land is flat farming land. We have a brand new tractor with a front loader, and various scrapers. Any suggestions or web sites that you can point me to. We are not expert riders but we would like to have jumps, mud pits, and other obstacles.
This would only be used for family and some close friends. Not for public use.

Answer
If you have a public track in your area, go talk to the owner. Ask them if they had to amend the soil, any problems they have with the particular ground in your area. Some soils are so difficult to work with, you will need to amend them.

Make sure you have irrigation planned for and easy to work with. A dusty track is no fun.

You can check out designs by watching races on tv, but keep in mind that those tracks are set up to challenge the best riders – not to keep beginning and intermediate riders happy and healthy.

Start small. Work in a large oval, make bermed corners by digging down, not building up. Use the dirt from the dug-out corners to build one whoop section on a straightaway, and one jump on the other straightaway.

Make a starting line coming in at an angle and heading into a left hand turn. The start should be about 2x as wide as the rest of the track.

Make jumps tabletops rather than doubles or triples. This way if someone comes up short, they wont plow into the face of the next jump.

If you start with a big oval, and play with it for awhile, you can then use the ‘infield’ to make more corners, jumps and whoops as you get to be better riders, and as you figure out what makes you happy. Leave the original oval in place, and have the new track components join into it.

By leaving the original oval integrated into the track, you have a ‘beginner’ loop always ready for anyone to ride.

For safety, if you plan on having more than a couple people on the track at one time, be sure you have plenty of run-out room between your track sections (don’t have one whoop section going north – directly next to a jump headed south). Use hay bales or old tires as barriers between close and/or problem sections.

If you do have any friends over to ride, have your parents make a written set of ‘track rules’ anyone who is not family will have to read and sign the rules. This won’t keep anyone from suing your parents if something goes wrong, but it will help keep arguments and problems to a minimum.
