It has been approximately two decades since the XC1 Pro ATV Championship has been decided at the final round of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series, and perhaps even longer since its top contenders came into the finale tied in points. But Saturday's AMSOIL Ironman GNCC was a winner-take-all affair in both the XC1 and XC2 Pro Am classes as four elite riders looked to secure two major championships at the 20th running of the Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Ind.

As if the pre-race hype surrounding the championship chase wasn't enough, XC1 front-runners Walker Fowler and Chris Borich treated thousands of Indiana cross-country fans to one of the most exciting finales in the history of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series, presented by Maxxis and sanctioned by AMA. In an all-out drag race to the finish, Team Maxxis' Chris Borich emerged victorious over N-Fab AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/Maxxis/MXP's Walker Fowler, while Fowler's Yamaha-backed teammate Cole Richardson came away with his first career XC2 Pro Am title after a hard-fought battle with SICC Racing/Maxxis-backed Marshal Goings. Read more >>

New 'Great Trails' guidebook funded by wide range of OHV partners

A new guidebook will soon be available from the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) titled "Great Trails - A Guide to Providing Quality OHV Trail Experiences." It is being developed by NOHVCC, written by a core team of consultants, and funded by a wide range of OHV industry partners.


"Great Trails" will offer guidance on how to take an idea for an OHV trail through the planning process, then into design and construction, using proven principles and techniques to ensure the trail offers riders an outstanding recreational experience, while also being environmentally and economically sustainable. The book will be of great benefit to the OHV clubs and associations, state and federal agencies, and business leaders who want information about putting a trail in their area to draw tourism, and to local leaders who wish to improve the OHV riding in their communities. Read more >>

 

Some 12 miles northeast of Parker, Ariz., the Copper Basin Dunes OHV Area is a 1,275-acre open riding area managed by the BLM, but there is also riding on designated routes surrounding the OHV area, including up in the canyons.

 

Vehicles must be street legal or have state-required off-highway vehicle stickers. Interestingly, California Off-Highway Recreational Motor Vehicle regulations apply for using Copper Basin Dunes.
