Sidewinder A-arms. Billet radius rods. RackBoss 2.0 tie rods. If you know what those do, you know Super ATV

Started in 2003 in a garage in Madison, Indiana, with a single lift kit for a Polaris Sportsman. Today they test everything they build on their own track before it ships, and on this RZR that's the suspension geometry, the steering, and the 35-inch tires under it, the parts that decide how hard the winner can actually drive it.

Thank you, SuperATV, for backing this sweepstakes and donating epic parts for the machine we're giving away.

Enter to win a custom-built 2026 Polaris RZR PRO S 4, an Xtreme trailer, and $10,000 cash. Over $73,000 in total value. Entries close October 4.

The Pole Creek Fire burned more than 100,000 acres around Mount Nebo in Utah. The Forest Service Supervisor didn’t put this fire out because it started in a designated wilderness. When the severe winds blew it into one of Utah’s largest roadless areas, nothing could stop it. Entire towns were evacuated. It impaired the watershed, wildlife habitat and public access. The forest growing back is not the one that stood there before.

Pole Creek is not an isolated example. Our analysis of nearly 110,000 Western wildfires found that fires in roadless areas and wilderness escape more often and grow larger than fires near road access.

Roads give crews a way in and can provide control lines before a fire grows out of reach. Blanket national restrictions take that flexibility away from local forest managers.

Tell the Forest Service to rescind the Roadless Rule. Comments close October 8.

Huge. Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association has upped their dollar-for-dollar match to $15,000 for the fight to save the Oregon Dunes with Save the Riders Dunes. Thank you! Donation details below.

Save the Oregon Dunes!

UPDATE!!! As a result of other regions and clubs adding to the principle match money we are now at $15,000 dollars available to match donations to BlueRibbon Coalition for the Save the Oregon Dunes campaign.

PNW4WDA Announces $15,000 Matching Donation to Help Support Oregon Dunes Legal Defense

To help support this effort, PNW4WDA will match donations dollar for dollar, up to a total of $15,000.
That means a $50 donation becomes $100 for the defense, doubling the impact of contributions while matching funds remain available.

Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association Partners with BlueRibbon Coalition to Help Protect Motorized Recreation Access
The Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association (PNW4WDA) is stepping up to support the ongoing effort to protect off-highway vehicle access in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) has formally entered the lawsuit involving off-highway vehicle use in the Oregon Dunes, bringing its legal and financial resources alongside Save the Riders Dunes.
To help support this effort, PNW4WDA will match donations dollar for dollar, up to a total of $15,000.

That means a $50 donation becomes $100 for the defense, doubling the impact of contributions while matching funds remain available.
HELP SAVE THE DUNES

Our friends in the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association are matching every donation dollar for dollar, up to $15,000. Give $50 and our defense receives $100!

Tax-Deductible Donation

Why This Matters
The lawsuit involves off-highway vehicle recreation in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. According to BRC, the Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Forest Service in June 2024, challenging the agency's management of OHV activity and large riding events in relation to the coastal marten and its designated critical habitat.
Save the Riders Dunes, a local volunteer organization, has been actively involved in the case. BlueRibbon Coalition has now joined the effort, providing additional legal and financial resources.
For PNW4WDA, supporting this effort reflects the Association's longstanding commitment to motorized recreation and continued access to public lands.
Double Your Impact
PNW4WDA members, clubs, recreation enthusiasts, and others who value access to public lands are encouraged to consider supporting the effort.
PNW4WDA Matching Donation:
• Donations matched dollar for dollar
• Matching funds available up to $15,000
• Donate $50 — $100 goes toward the defense
• Donations are identified by BRC as tax-deductible
Every contribution helps provide resources for the legal effort involving an area enjoyed by off-highway vehicle enthusiasts throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Help Save the Dunes. Double your donation. Support motorized recreation and public-land access for generations to come.

What people believe the Travel Management Rule does and what it actually does are two different things.

There's this post going around saying this update lets off-road vehicles drive almost anywhere in national forests. That's not what's happening.

Two things are driving this update. Congress passed the EXPLORE Act, which tells federal agencies to actually consider adding and expanding off-road and other recreation on public land. And back in May, an executive order rescinded the old Nixon and Carter-era orders that have been used for 20 years to close trail after trail.

This isn't going to turn national forests into a free for all. States still decide where vehicles can go. Utah, one of the most OHV friendly states out there, already requires you to stay on routes the agency designates. That doesn't change.

What does change: the system that's been closing our trails for two decades gets replaced, forest mountain bike trails open up to e-bikes, and there are a few smaller changes too.

Most of us aren't out here in a race truck. We're on a slow, bumpy road, probably with our family. That's the access on the line right now. Comment period closes tomorrow, September 23. Say something before it does.

The area is still open. The proposal that could close it is gaining traction.

A campaign is underway to designate roughly 186,000 acres of BLM land around Ash Meadows as a National Conservation Area. No bill has been introduced, but the proposal has already gained support from the Amargosa Valley Town Board and Nye County Commission.

NCA designation requires restrictive management that often leads to closed roads.

That matters in Amargosa Valley, where public lands are used for desert races, popular OHV routes exist between Amargosa and Pahrump, and local access. Ash Meadows’ sensitive resources are already protected by a national wildlife refuge. Now, the land surrounding it is in play.

Local BRC members asked us to get involved while there is still time to shape what happens next.

Use our action alert to tell your elected officials: keep Amargosa Valley open for multiple use.

Up to 1 in 5 of the world's mature giant sequoias died in two fire seasons. Treated groves lost about half as many.

In 2002, the McNally Fire burned 150,000 acres of Sequoia National Forest. The following year, the Forest Service approved a plan to remove dead and burned timber from 238 acres. It was called the Burnt Ridge Project.

Before the work began, Anti-Access groups sued. A court order stopped the project. The dispute over Burnt Ridge settled, but a broader fight over Forest Service regulations continued to the Supreme Court.

The Forest Service won that case in 2009. But the Burnt Ridge salvage work was already dead.

Years later, the region faced those fires. Groves that had been thinned and treated with prescribed fire lost about half as many. That is why getting forest work done matters: a plan on paper cannot protect a forest when fire arrives.
