There will be a huge crowd up on Lake Vermilion this weekend watching Water Skips, including myself and the crew! We’re leaving from the Fortune Bay Casino Marina area at 11am Saturday morning, your welcome to meet up with us or get a hold of me for more information! I posted a link below if your not familiar with Water Skips and a pic of my Trailer full of Can-am’s and ready to go!
See you on ATVing on Lake Vermilion this weekend!

All, I have the details and I’m ready for the Ed Walberg memorial ATV Ride to kick off the riding year for me. The ride is leaving from Chisholm on Saturday the 26th at 11am. We’re all meeting at Tom & Jerry’s in the rear parking lot. Its a really fun day if your into ATVing! Last year there was about 70-80 ATV’s and we had about 4 inches or sloppy mud cause of the early spring weather so there was lots of action! This year will likely be a little less mud and alot more snow which as its own fun! The 10 day forecast show’s the temps just getting into the mid 30’s next week and I don’t see alot of snow burning off yet, either way it will be awesome!!! Contact me for more info and/or sign up on Facebook to let us know you’ll be there.

If anyone is looking for a new ATV or side-by-side you have to check out Ray’s in Grand Rapids! They have a great selection of ATVs and side-by-sides to demo, including the new Commander 1000 XT, which are just about impossible to get right now because of demand.
Between the great financing offers and deals right now there isn’t a better time to give Joe a call!!! Might sound like a sales pitch but we just bought 2 new Can-am ATV’s from Joe at Ray’s Sport and Cycle and couldn’t be happier. See the pics of our 2 new wheelers and Ray’s Demo Days ad.
I hope everyone is out enjoying the awesome fall weather. We put 60 miles on this weekend from Hibbing to Liquid Larry’s in Kinney and hope to put on some more miles yet before firearm deer hunting season shuts us down for three weekends.
I’ve been kinda slacking on new blogs but I haven’t been wheeling that much this summer. With all the kids stuff, weddings, family stuff, etc going on I’m glad fall is here and its time to get out ATVing again! The leaves are at 100% peak or already on the ground, most if not all of the bugs are gone, we get the morning moisture to keep the dust down and the WEATHER is BEAUTIFUL!
This weekend we’re leaving from Hibbing and heading to Liquid Larry’s in Kinney, anyone that wants to join us is welcome to come. I’ll have pictures next week. Almost forgot, I pick up my new Can-am Outlander 800 X-MR. I’ll get pictures out there soon as I have them!!
Anyone interested in or wanting more information on this years ATV PULL contact me!
Last year we had a lot of great machines and this year we’re excited to see who shows up to see if they can hold onto they’re titles… Hope to see you there!
I heard back from 2 people from Itasca County officials and here is the latest and greatest report: work is continuing but they’re behind a little; the full phase one part of the trail they expected to be complete right now isn’t and won’t be ’till this fall (if it continues as planned).
As I look at the maps and read the information available, phase 1 is the most important part for us up north! When phase 1 is complete, we can leave from Pengilly and ride all the way to McGregor. I got some pretty good email back from the county people so if you want more info shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you!
When this trail is done I WILL be on it! I’m gonna make a weekend out of it and leave from Pengilly, stay in Aitkin for the night and come back the next day! See you on the trails!
I’ve been watching the 70-mile Aitkin-Itasca trail updates and last night I noticed the grand opening is this week, July 14, I guess?
It sounds like the 14th is for administrators and members but a public announcement is to follow. If anyone has more information than that I’d love to hear it!
At this point, I need to get away as it’s been over two months since I’ve been wheeling so this 70 mile trail would be a great place to break the ice!!!
The best info I have now is this is Phase 1 with 47 miles complete but I’ll be getting back to you.
The NEW CAN_AM COMMANDER SIDE X SIDE IS OUT!
Anyone else so the new Commander by Can-am yet? Even comes with a 1000cc engine! I have a link for you and its awesome! Lots of videos, showes yellow and Camo but haven’t seen the red yet in a real picture. We want one and by wife’s machine is up for sale for the deposit. They won’t be in till September but that when I do alot of riding.
It’s been a busy early summer with Grad Parties and Work so I haven’t been riding much but looking at facebook and the other networks everyone else has been enjoying the Summer. Check out the new Side X Side and I’ll update you on our next ride! If you plan on attending the ATVAM Fall Convention in Nashwauk and you need any help with the area, let me know!!!
So we’re talking about the new 70 Mile trail maybe that is supposed to run from Pengilly down toward Aitkin and Brainerd? I can’t find anything on the Minnesota DNR website about it yet so maybe its not ready? Anyone know? I’ve seen a few emails from ATVAM about it, I think they were gonna call it the Great Itascan Trail or something like that? I’ll do some more research Monday or Tuesday about it….
Maybe Thistle Dew trails and camping for the weekend…
