Saddling up for a backcountry adventure in unfamiliar territory can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you’re planning to be your own guide. Sure, you may be fine with directions and thoroughly prepared, but being your own guide to the unknown can be a recipe for frustration, back-tracking and wasting time that could/should have been spent [...]

While I realize it’s only July, October is a big month here at ATV Magazine, as it’s the month we hold our annual ATV Trials testing event. Like everything else in the magazine business, we’re always working several months into the future. It makes for some fun situations — sweaty wintertime photo shoots in the [...]

Good day, and happy Forth of July!
Hopefully you’ve got plans you’re looking forward to over this holiday weekend. Maybe you’re feeling like I do, excited to be lazy, not traveling on the busy highways and staying around home. It’s been a busy few weeks, with a few more hectic ones coming up – so sitting [...]

This is from The Dirt, by John Prusak, in the May/June 2010 issue of ATV Magazine.
Congratulations seem to be in order. By the time you read this, you will have successfully made it through what, in many areas, was an unbelievably harsh winter.
At one point in February, every state in the country except for Hawaii [...]

From time to time we all run into or meet new people that are eager to get into the sport, and because most of us are thrilled to share the joys of the sport we all know and love, we are more than happy to introduce and teach the “new blood” all there is to [...]

While cruising the ATV Magazine/ATV Sport forums, I found a post from Elite Member “Grey Grizz” of Massachusetts, that linked to Howe and Howe Technologies from his home state. He shared a link to the H&H’s new Mini Rip, which looks like a snowmobile with tank tracks. In a testing video Geoff Howe called the [...]

You can find me on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and probably a few more social networking sites. I’m there to showcase my stories, thoughts and other ATV industry tidbits I find on the Internet. The reason for this post is to remind those companies that have not created a fan page/business account on a social [...]

Last week, I had a life changing experience, and so did my bride.
We were in California on a part-vacation, part-work trip. It started in and ended in San Francisco, but in between we put more than 1,200 miles on the rental car working our way down, then up the California coast. Alcatraz, the Monterey Acquarium, [...]

Winter really pulled a disappearing act on us this year in the Upper Midwest. One day I was sitting atop my yard’s towering snow banks sipping Irish coffee scowling at my neighbors’ less-than-symmetrical piles of snow, while the next week I was spreading aloe on my sunburned face and working on those stubborn tan lines on [...]

The latest issue of ATV Magazine (June 2010) is set to hit newsstands April 14 and it has a large 500cc Shootout inside. I got the byline on that shootout, but took the feedback from all the magazine’s test riders to compile the story. We tested five utility quads with power steering and came away [...]
