Exploring the Nemadji State Forest

- In todays video I finally made it up to the Namadji State Forest. This park is supposed to have over 100 miles of trails and we barely scratched the surface! I had a ton of fun riding with my buddy Dusty. I can't wait to go back to see what else this place has to offer!

#savesportquads
I’m 44 years old and just bought my first quad last weekend. I’ve always wanted one and I’m not getting any younger.
I have a 2013 Raptor 700. Like new condition. Going for my first trail ride this weekend at Red Top trails in Minnesota.
Love your videos Pete.
It’s never too late!
Congratulations on the new Raptor! I hope your ride at Red Top goes well this weekend 🤘
LETTSS GOOO A NEW VID FROM THE MAN HIMSELF. I would like to buy a quad one day and be like you💪 i've wanted one for more than 7 years
Get you 1 man there a blast dont have to be 10K there all fun
@@ALDA2479 i grew up to like the Raptor and the yfz so those are the only ones i like
Find an affordable 400ex or warrior 350 or something like that. Great entry level quads you can find used for under 3 grand all day. Endless fun, just have to know how to wrench a little when buying old machines but it’s definitely worth it to get out and have fun
@@dark_5760 find a used one. Dont wait. Do it.
was there last week great place awesome ride with my brother !
These are my favorite kind of videos that you make, just straight trail blazing. Love it
Hoping to get back to these more often, they’re some of my favorite to make 😁
You have by far have the best content ! Thanks guy .
That whole area is a bit unusual I have been Riding motocross , utility quads and sport quads through the forest for a long time. I like going up there and usually you can find a few people to ride with if you want some company.
I saw nemadji and thought minnesota. Lets see. At 1:22 i think ur going to the campground. I was riding nemadji 25 yrs ago with gf at the time. I was in front waved her up and splashed giant puddle on her. She was soaked, sorry Lori, thats part of being a new rider. These types of trails are 4x4 riding for sure.
Great video
Thank you for everything u do for the sport quad community
Thank you for the great comment, I really appreciate it 😊
Awesome ride Pete! Most trials aren't laid out like those where you can carry so much speed for so long! EPIC
Pete hager looks like u guys had a awesome time,awesome 👌 keep up the good work can't wait to see what u have instore for the future 👍✌️
the transition around 12:19 is top notch!!!!!
Let me know when you're ready for Durhamtown...it will blow you away on the Raptor! My home park
gotta love the no dust conditions!
Oh I grew up on tight technical trails, hill climbs, mud, and river crossings. Those trails are right up my alley!! I’d like to see some hill climbs there and I’ll have to go check it out for myself.
I’m not sure if there’s much for climbs, that region isn’t very hilly but there was no shortage of water and ATV trails. There was a bunch we didn’t explore so I’ll be going back for sure 😅🤘
@@PeteHager definitely looks like fun. I live close to Turkey Bay OHV Park. My buddy and a few of his Jeep friends just took over a 1000 acre park near Waverly TN and are looking for people to make ATV trails so they can attract more ATV riders.
Love the straight trail ripping!!
25:38
Literally everybody: Oh look a bridge
Pete: I N F R A S T R U C T U R E
Haha first word that came to mind in the middle of the remote wilderness 😂
@@PeteHager I couldnt stop laughing dude 😂
@@mattwilson9293 😬Pricless comments thank you 😂
@@PeteHager all jokes aside, thanks for everything you do for the sport quad community. I live pretty close to the Indiana badlands so maybe I'll see you out there sometime
@@mattwilson9293 I appreciate that! 👍 as of now the Badlands is planning a creator meet up event July 1st with a concert next year! I told them I’m down to attend! 😬
That place is Boss. That the kind of place I like to ride. Wide sandy trails with nice straight aways
Perfect for the sport quads! 👌
Right, here in the Mid East, it’s nothing but rocks and boulders, with dry dusty and mud pits. That sand was looking pretty good
@@jonathanwilliams4255 same here in Maryland. The only place to really ride is Western Maryland on the W.V. line and its rocky as crap.
Awesome 👌
Sick video man,a little water is always better then dusty trails 🔥🔥🦾🦾
It definitely made for some good chase cam, I can’t wait to rip the dunes, no dust in the dunes 😎
sweet riding area. Tons of fun
I want a raptor so bad and riding gear ❤
That is some nice riding. The trails here are very similar. The more I watch I’m sold on the idea that the Raptor 700 is the ultimate trail sport atv. I’m looking for one of them or the similar Honda trx700 for next year. Safe riding Pete 🍻🇨🇦
I have a TRX700xx and it is a beast!!!
Another awesome vid Pete! Hope to see you at Raptor Fest down at Little Sahara.
Awesome! We can’t wait, we’re gonna have a huge group! 🤘
Bro the raptor looks so sick after the suspension mod. Awesome video!
Thank you man! It's exceeded my expectations in many ways, I love riding it! 😬
Little late but watching to catch up. Great video Pete. #SaveSportQuads
Love your videos Pete, not too many good atv enthusiasts that post good content. You're one of em for sure! Just recently got me a mint 2007 yfz 450. Got my first xc race this weekend
Thanks for the comment man! Good Luck this weekend! 🤘
Just let her eat in 5th, its good for ya Pete. Glad you got to get a good rip in. I've got to slap a clutch cable in my 19 Rse. Hopefully I can get my buddies to rip with me soon. It's been too long!
Next video has some 5 gear run's in it! I actually was reminded about the factory speed sensor in 5th gear, I totally forgot about it. If that was removed it would definitely go 90+ which is just wild to think about lol Hopefully you've been able to get out riding, it's the best time of the year!
@@PeteHager all my buddies have broken wheelers so I'm just waiting for them to get their stuff fixed. I've got some asv levers to install after my clutch cable, but I cant wait to go rip after that
Looks like so much fun!
that was a good ride the park looked so fun . can you do a walk around of your truck though ? love the truck and want to see more of it
I'll keep the truck walk around in mind. It's not as perfect as it used to be but I still love it! Maybe I'll squeeze a mini overview in before a ride sometime 😊
@@PeteHager sweet
See you at little sahara. Bringing my raptor
Awesome! It’s gonna be an epic weekend 😁
So good to see the raptor back out brother ❤
It’s been so fun to ride! It’ll be in the next several videos 😁
Hay that’s me in the blue rzr. Haha I was hoping you guys were gonna keep ripping and not go on that trail. Put 90 miles on that day.
Haha no way! We had never been there before and we were wanting to try class 1 width trails.. turns out we should’ve stayed on the Matthew Lourey trail 😅
Awesome vid 💪
I stopped riding at 18 , 37 young now got me some lt250r I’m rebuilding, picked up another one a week after , and who know a trx250r will come soon can’t believe I stop riding
Thats awesome to hear man! Glad you're getting back into the scene. I don't see many lt250's, I'd like to ride one someday when I get a chance! Hopefully you can get your R soon! (that's next on my list😬)
Man i love your energy your so positive👍
Thanks man! These types of exploratory rides are my favorite and I'm always extra amped haha 😁🤘
Those also look like pretty fun trails I have a can am renegade and I wish I could go to where those guys on the can ams were going when they were passing by Peter and dusty
A sport utility like the Renegade would absolutely tear that place up! 🤘
Everytime I see you ripping that quad I question myself why I don't have a quad yet .. lol sick content 🤙
We're always happy to have another rider in the sport quad community 😁 Thanks for watching!
I just love the colour the details the graphics and just the whole look of Pete’s quad it’s 🔥😎👌
Thank you very much! It's really came together, only a few more mods left 😊
Dope video. 💪🙌👊
Love your videos man! can’t wait till I get my camera setup in the mail so I can start recording my rides on my New Raptor
Thanks man! Congrats on getting a new Raptor!!😬
Man I’m excited I’m about a week away from getting a 2022 raptor se my first atv ever. everybody is like na get the 450 I’m like nope I’m a raptor man💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Dude the Raptor is so fun, it's a great do it all machine. The YFZR does handle and jump better but if you upgrade the Raptor to a long travel set up with a wider rear axle it's super comparable and thats something you can always do down the road. Enjoy the new beast man!🤘 #savesportquads
@@PeteHager thanks again bro how do I enter the giveaway
@@Dslim704 that was a spam comment by someone impersonating me unfortunately. I have them banned from the channel now 👍
@@PeteHager ok cool
Man I wish I would have seen this last year! That's like 30 minutes from my house! Love the trails out there. Mostly ride the RZR out there. +2/+1 A arms anti roll bar an steering stabilizer will be here in a few days, for the Raptor, then I think it's time to rip up those trails!
I know this is off topic but after 3 weeks of owning my raptor 250 I already hit a pot hole and rammed into a fence and it’s a lil bit beat up but it’s getting serviced and but it runs and drives, kind of
We all make mistakes when we're pushing our abilities regardless of how great of a rider we are! Hopefully you're okay and can keep progressing! 🤘
So awesome. I think it would be cool to include some clips that show your speed. Just figured out GoPro has that capability
I wish I could use that feature but I run my gopro upside down in my mount and that limits its GPS signal pretty significantly. If I could I would because we hit some pretty high speeds a few times 😅
You gotta get down to Durham town.
Hopefully we can make it down to that region this winter 👌
Holy shit I was starting to think u went into early retirement just got out to ride a cpl days ago I love riding in the fall quads run nice and cool and I don't have to die of heat being all geared up
Haha sorry life has been pretty busy this year, I have more rides filmed and more planned since it’s prime time for riding. I’m not stopping anytime soon😅🤘
Great Video as always! I noticed you tried to pull up over a few puddles and there was a lot of wheel spin in the slick mud preventing you from pulling up the way you wanted. How do you feel the OBORs performed in that slick mud? I know a lot of the wheel spin is that 60HP the raptor is making 🤣 just curious because I am running a set on my YFZ and can't wait to test them out!
Actually what threw me off a few times was that gear ratio with the 15 tooth. I had a few moments where I was tapped in 2nd or dogging in 3rd. I’d stab the throttle in 3rd for a puddle but it would chug a bit and not pick up the RPM fast enough. Overall I do like the Obors more than the XC masters but my more expensive GNCC tires have performed the best out of everything I’ve tried so far! I’m looking forward to your opinion on the obors! 🤘😁
nice rippin!!
Thanks Lee! Hope all is well! 🤘
@@PeteHager Im doing great! just ripped 100 miles today on the Renegade in Northern Maine!!
It's prime time for fall riding! 😎
I’d like to ride with this guy
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do you ever do track riding? Would like to see how you navigate the jumps and whoops!👍
He does do track riding here and there.
I make it out now and then, unfortunately most tracks have banned quads in my area so there isn't many opportunities. I definitely enjoy free riding a bit more but the occasional track day is a good time!
@@PeteHager if you ever make it up here to Alaska let me know there's lots of trail riding here and a couple decent tracks!
Man I wish I never sold my 700 it's about time I get a new one A.S.A.P
Do it!! 😬🤘
That's my neck of the woods. Woulda been cool to ride with you.
You have a sweet riding area to hit up! I know there’s much more to see so I’ll definitely be going back!
Is that a TRX 450? Whatever Honda he is on, It's Fast, would assume Not close to Stock. Pete's raptor is fast
Engine is stock with full Dasa exhaust
Interesting. I Have a almost stock 2021 Raptor 700R and lining up against multiple TRX 450's its usually a good race to about 50 then the Raptor pulls away. Your a Good Rider, that helps allot.
Dusty throw's down. He was flying in this ride. Took me awhile before I started really pushing it to keep up with him lol 😅
🤘
Hey Pete, and all of UA-cam land, i need some help, I'm 16, 5,11 and 135lbs, and am looking for my first sport quad. I've ridden a rancher 350 4x4 almost all my life and have recently maxed out its capabilities, lol. I've been searching through market place and found a couple 400ex's, but i also found a 2014 Honda trx450r up for 1,200. It needs a starter clutch and some other little stuff, but I'm all for learning how to work on these machines. My biggest question is does the 450r have to much power and race ergonomics for a beginner? The 400ex's are in decent shape, they need some carb work, but the 450r looks so nice and is just a little more cool and a 400ex, lol
When will you come down to california?
I'm not sure, fuel costs have kept me more local this year. Hopefully sometime next year! 🤞
we going to have to ride pete, i wanna let you ride my new ds450
The DS platform is awesome, it's a bummer they stopped making them. I would love to try your's out if I got the chance someday! 😊
@@PeteHager ofc, as long as I get to rip the yfz
@@wyattspruill9279 of course! it's always fun to quad swap and talk about the differences!👌
@@PeteHager exactly, you love what I'm doing to the ds
What raptor should I get in yamha
Anybody know anywhere cool like this in west Tennessee were you can ride sport quads I have a 2000 400ex great quad
Pretty sure the guys from The ATV World ride that region a lot! Maybe check out a few videos, they will definitely comment back if you have questions 👍 ua-cam.com/channels/Cv6e8KUQkJ5u578edacj1Q.html
@Pete Hager thanks I will check them out bro!
Would you hit trails in México? I watch your videos from jalisco mexico🤟
Thanks for watching my videos! I would love to ride outside the country someday, I love the desert riding so hopefully I can see more of the Baja experience eventually! 👍
Have a stock raptor and wanting to remove spark arrestor for more noise.
Is this bad for the bike ??
I've seen a few riders over the years running them without the baffle. It would probably be okay for awhile but it technically will alter your air fuel ratio and it could cause premature engine wear overtime. If you want a better sound I would look into a slip on exhaust by HMF or Yoshimura. You could pair that with a HMF fuel controller to make sure your machine doesn't run too lean. That set up would save you a few hundred dollars over a full exhaust 👍
Hey Pete what are some good but not too expensive trial tires for the raptor 700
Hey Trevor. I've enjoyed these new Obor Advent's I'm running and they're pretty budget friendly. I'd say the most popular budget tire that is super durable would be the GBC XC Masters. However I've ran the XC masters a few seasons and sometimes they hook in power slides when I don't want them to.. I haven't had that issue with the Advents yet 👍
You should make a subscriber meet up in Athelstane Wi.
It would be wild to go back there someday! Its still one of my favorite trail rides I've been on!
@@PeteHager thanks for taking the time to answer to subs.. 👍👍👍👍
@@amaurymachetes872 No problem! 👍
What size is your trailer? Curious because i noticed that you throw the raptor in there sideways from time to time. Thanks!!
Hey Andrew, the trailer is 16ft long by 7 wide by 7 tall. Excluding the V the rectangle is 14x7. We often put 3 quads in there broadside. The Raptor is about 6 feet long and is probably the hardest one to put sideways but you just gotta muscle it. The whole trailer is 21 feet long including the tongue. We figured it would be a comfortable size for a half ton truck. If I could change anything I would make it wider. My my next one will probably be 24x8.5x7 if I upgrade our travel truck to a 3/4 or 1 ton 👍
@@PeteHager ahh man thank you for this!! Considering a cargo trailer to toy hauler conversion so been dying to know what you had! Keep making the awesome content!
@@andrewabreu6678 glad I could help. Just incase you didn’t notice this is an all aluminum trailer. They’re more expensive but so much lighter, plus they don’t rust 👍
@@PeteHager yes saw the vid where you purchased! Think that would be perfect for my two young boys and I. Thanks again man!! I’ll be waiting for your next Florida ride!
Just purchased my 2012 Honda trx 400x. Picking it up tomo. All stock and a 56 yr old guy was previous owner. Got her for $3k. I cant believe it, seems too good to be true. This is partially your fault. I was totally fine with my raptor, then you planted the seed in my head.
Congrats on your new to you 400ex man! Happy to have had a part in you deciding to get another sport quad 😅🤘 #savesportquads
Yo what all do u have done to the raptor
This video shares a full overview of my Raptors parts👍ua-cam.com/video/SSWXthuFG-4/v-deo.htmlsi=UvtoHiOWDok6ZUT7
11:19 where everything became a dirty mess
What exhaust system are you running?
I have the Rossier R5 full exhaust, my full parts list is in the description 😊👍
@@PeteHager you messed me up dude. I was fine with one four wheeler. I couldn't pass this up tho.
Yo Pete what hour counter do you use?
I just have a cheap standard one. They may have been made by moose racing 👍
fun place to ride but not really for sport quads spider lake would be better .
maybe i was wrong need to spend some more time here.
@@howardedlund4242 the Matthew lourey trail so definitely fun but your right that the majority of the trails are better suited for 4X4’s 😅
