TNT (Tracks N Trails) in Chester, SC has everything an ATV or dirt bike
enthusiast could want for a weekend of thrills with all the frills. They have
some of the very best off-road riding in the Southeast, including six MX tracks
as well as five trail loops. There is a variety of each; so you can find the one
that is just right for you.</p>
They also have a BMX track for the bicycle enthusiasts in your family as well
as a pond stocked with bass and bream for the fishers in your group.</p>
They have several on-site amenities, which include very clean and
well-maintained port-a-potties, including one that is handicapped accessible.
They have a full-service concession stand with drinks, sandwiches, hot dogs,
snacks, crackers, etc. They even have a bike wash so you can clean up after a
full day of fun.
Primitive camping is also permitted. They ask that you arrive before 6 p.m. in
order to register for camping as the gate will be closed shortly afterwards.
There is no water or electrical hook-ups for camping, but fire rings and
firewood are available. Night trail riding is not allowed. All riding must stop
at 8 p.m. or at dark, whichever one comes first.</p>
They also have a decent inventory of “likely to be broken†spare parts such
as spark plugs, levers, and inner tubes. You can call ahead if you know you need
something, and they will see if they have it. They also keep some first aid
items on hand just in case. Speaking of first aid, qualified medical assistance
is always available as well since Barbara (the owner) is trained in CPR and
first aid as well as some of her staff. Both Barbara and one of her weekend
staff members have had prior certification as an EMT and paramedic.They also have different levels of on-road and off-road training available on
site, including ASI (ATV Safety Institute) and MSF (Motorcycle Safety
Foundation) classes. Advanced motocross training is also available by request.</p>
I often write articles that are somehow based on Women and ATVing. This
article is no different. How so? TNT is owned and operated by a woman, Barbara
Parrish.</p>
She has been in business for 15 years and is an avid ATVer herself. She is
one of the friendliest and nicest women you could ever want to meet as long as
you respect her and the rules for TNT. She will call you out in a heartbeat if
you do not. However, her rules are basic, simple, and easy to follow if you are
a responsible rider.</p>
They are as follows:</p>
<ul>
[*]SAFETY GEAR is required. This includes a helmet, eye protection, above
the ankle boots, long pants, shirt, and gloves. She also highly recommends
elbow and knee guards, as well as chest protectors.
[*]You MUST have a well-maintained SILENCER or MUFFLER.
[*]Ride only on the DESIGNATED TRAILS and ride only in the DESIGNATED
DIRECTION.
[*]LIMIT SPEED TO 5 MPH IN THE PITS. This includes anywhere other than on
the tracks and trails.
[*]DO NOT CUT the track or ride around the jumps. There are sprinklers
lined beside the track everywhere.
[/list]
TNT is a membership park and is open every day of the year except Christmas
Day and Thanksgiving. However, you might want to </p>
