Haven’t been riding much off-road and no MX since I broke my collarbone but I still hit up Thomaston Dam or Pachaug occasionally.

I am still riding in upstate ny. Built a mini track in my backyard so I can do a moto before work
Have you been to Pittsfield State Forest? It's on the mass line. Some cool trails there.
Hope your recovering well. I have yet to check out either of those places but would love to.

I still ride mine single track around Pittsburgh. I did recently get an Arctic Leopard EX800, but I love my Alta.
What are you guys using for a rear tire? For some reason I was thinking it had an 18-in rear so I ordered a ve33s only to realize that it's actually got a 19-in rear. Probably just going to order a KKE 18 and rear for the bike. Although somebody local has a rear wheel from 2009 KTM, thinking the KKE will be lighter. Whatever I can do to maximize the battery.
Would love to hear your comparison between the Alta and the Arctic Leopard.

Just ordered a KKE 18" rear wheel. Going to run the ve33s now but that Metzler is only just over 10lbs vs the ve33s at 13lbd. Less rotational mass equals battery battery life. How's it do on roots, logs and wet rocks?

I find them to be outstanding for roots logs and wet.

The mini track I have been ripping in my back yard. The house came with a horse arena that I turned into jumps lol.

Nice track Matt. My track has been a swamp in the bowl turn since the rains in June and I need to get an excavator in to clear out a collapsed drain tile. I call it the beaver pond now. Most of my track is very rideable except for that water hole. Hope to have you out later this summer or fall. -Mike
