RE ADERS RIDES

Scott Clemons

I’ve always enjoyed four-wheeling and riding around on the trails. I bought a couple of new Yamaha Grizzly 4-wheelers in 2014 and was hoping to start doing some family trips. My dad went out in 2015 and bought his first used 2014 Polaris RZR 900 trail, as he was gearing up for the trip I was planning. Unfortunately, he didn’t have it very long before he let someone else take it for a spin…and boy, did they ever! They crashed it, forcing him to buy a new 2016 Polaris RZR 900 trail a few months before our trip at the end of August. We wanted to go down to West Virginia to the Hatfield-McCoy trail system, as we had heard great things, but never ridden it. I had read lots of reviews on the trails and watched some videos, and I decided that I would be much better also getting a Polaris RZR 900 trail. Although I had fixed my dad’s 2014 that got wrecked and bought it from him, I was feeling the need for something new. So I took myself to the Polaris dealer in search of a new RZR 900 trail. I was hoping to find one that was a different color than the gray one my dad had just bought. It must have been my lucky day, because they had just received their first 2017 Polaris RZR 900 trail in that day in blue, which is my favorite color! It was quite the surprise to my dad when I pulled a brand-new RZR 900 out of the trailer when we arrived down in West Virginia. Now we go down every year to the Hatfield-McCoy trail system, and it is definitely a lot of fun—especially pulling my dad out of the mud, or even rolling him back upright on four wheels!
