Jeremiah Jones

    It’s been a little over a year since Jeremiah Jones’ accident that seriously injured his spine and left  paralyzed from the waist down. In that time Jones, has had to adapt to many changes in his life, but Jeremiah has not let his injury hold him back. Even though racing ATV’s is no longer possible for him, Jones has stayed involved in the industry that he loves and has proved himself to be a valuable asset and an inspiration to the ATV community both on and off the track. Before his injury he was a three-time AMA ATV Pro Motocross champion.

yamaha raptor 125

This year Yamaha came out with the new raptor 125. This is a good thing because before the 125 you either had to go with a youth quad or a full sized 250cc adult sized quad. Before you would most likely upgrade to a better quad the better you got a riding, the 125 raptors new suspension gives you the ability to ride it weather your a beginner or an experienced rider. The downfall on this quad is that is is made for smaller racers, the way the handlebars a positioned makes it harder for taller racer to ride and maneuver comfortably. Although if all you want a quad for is just to have fun, the raptor 125 is perfect for anyone, big or small, you can have fun on this quad.

atv paddle tires

    If you live an area that has a lot of sand dunes or sand races then paddle tires would be the best choice for you. They are different from regular knobby tires because they have larger paddles and not near as many knobs. The front tires almost always only have one rubber rib running through the center of them. They work better for sand because knobby tires just grab the top of the sand, the paddle tires actually dig farther down and grab more. They work great for mud also, because of the large gaps between paddles there isn't anywhere for mud to get caught and reduce traction.
