ATV Parade - 2008 World Record Attempt Photo
A couple of years ago the Harlan County Ridge Runners broke the world record for holding the biggest ATV parade. In two weeks, on June 13, 2009 in Silver Bay, MN to be exact, another attempt to break the world ATV record will occur as ATVAM attempts to break the world record once again.
Join us in an attempt to break the record for the “Worlds Longest ATV Parade”.
Currently, the Harlan County Ridge Runners in Evarts, Kentucky holds the record for the Longest ATV Parade. The club set the record of 1,138 ATVs in a parade in the summer of 2006, surpassing the old record of 687 set in Hurley, Wisconsin.
This past June, Silver Bay, MN was buzzing as ATV’s rolled into town in an attempt to break the World Record. The official count for the parade was 1,083 ATV’s; unfortunately, we were 56 ATV’s short from breaking the record (three wheelers and side x sides did not count towards the record).
Once again, Silver Bay has opened its doors to us as ATVAM attempts to break the record on June 13, 2009. There is plenty of parking available on side roads near the staging area as well as parking in Beaver Bay or Finland and then ride the trail to Silver Bay.
Registration is $13.00 per ATV.Grab your ATV and make a week-end out of it, between the Moose Walk & the Red Dot trails there are over 50 miles of riding; they are just about the nicest trails you will ever ride.
3 wheelers and side by side ATVs are not counted towards the record so bring your four wheeler and bring your helmet! I would honestly like to see organizers promote ATV safety by not counting riders who don’t wear a helmet, ATV safety is important. I know, that’s not likely the most popular thing in the world for me to be saying but in that moment when you’re falling off your ATV and thinking “this is going to hurt” you’ll be thankful.
Perhaps the moment will be of a child about to lose some teeth because their parents weight shoves them into the handlebars face first? ATV accidents happen and this is a great opportunity to get everyone involved in ATV safety. Spread the word!
