It sounds great. But I Hate to inform you that we already have your record beat...lol
The Utah ATV Association does a annual (20 years strong, the longest running ride anyone could verify)charity event for the Make A Wish Foundation, and this year we had well over 200 quads in our 100 mile ride from Lakepoint, UT to Wendover NV. It was very impressive to see well over 200 quads parading down the street. We raised over $30,000 for the Make a Wish Utah, and were able to facilitate 9 wishes to children, one was a new ATV!

Afterburner,
Thanks, I did not think we really had a record, note the lol, I just misread that you were going for a world record with a target of 200.
Best of luck and I hope you have 500 more than you planned and you get enough food and money to make all your plans come to fruition.
Best of luck to you and yours.
I will be awaiting news of your success.

I think this would be a great event!!!! Is there a limit of how many riders that would be allowed to participate?????
Lets spread the word for this event to let the quading community know how well loved our sport is in the NW

Sounds fun. You guys/gals should post this on Sandlakeduners also. Actually I would post it on every atv forum you can find, then you would most likely shred the record. I'll watch the weather and possibly I can make it.

Oregon ATV'ers,
I need your help. I (Team ALBA and Team Fat Man Racing) am putting together a parade of ATV's for Holloween 2004 in Amity, Oregon. It is a sanctioned, properly permitted, and official parade put together exclusively for ATV riders. The reason? We are attempting to take away the current Guiness World Record for most ATV's (they call them quadbikes) in an official sanctioned parade. It is held by several motorcycle clubs in a couple different categories and we want to beat the record. We have already communicated our intentions to Guiness. We need around 80 more riders than we currently have commited to this. Another footnote, all riders MUST donate two cans of food and one new toy which we are giving to the Amity Police department and Fire Department for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Riders are encouraged to dress for the occasion (costumes), candy will be provide for tossing to the crowd. Expect rain/cold. Copies of the certificate, if successful, will be provided to all. There will be news coverage, to include Dirt Wheels and local TV stations. It should be fun and it's a good cause but I need more folks. Anybody interested?

Approximately 150. We are targetting 200 just in case. Bear in mind, there have been bigger ATV rallies and getogethers, but this is the record for a sanctioned parade. Should be fun, hope the wx holds out. Wanna join in?

We're putting flyers out this week. I will try to keep everyone posted on this message train. I am still trying to get he official appovals out of the way, but all looks well for the parade. Essentially, any rider, any age can participate (obviously, youth quads/kid riders MUST be accomanied). All ATV's must be in safe working order, no pavement shredding allowed (especially you Hillsboro DS riders) Four strokes would probably fare better than others since it is a serpentine parade at a brisk walking pace and that could be tough on the two-strokers. It will begin at the Amity High School football stadium. (Amity sits on highway 99W between McMinnville and Salem) Bear in mind, this was put together by the Amity PD and FD to help us achieve this record. There was no other reason to have the parade. That really says alot for a small township that is trying to help our sport be recognized. In return, we (the ATV riders) are paying them back with the can and toy drive. I only ask that anybody that wants to join in be prepared to step up, rain or shine, and help be counted. I really think we can do this, have great time at it, and actuially do some good for the community.

The more, the merrier. rain or shine, we hope to see everyone there. By the way, the best costume gets a prize from Alba Action Sports.

They did under "events". It has had a good response. Hope to see ya there.
Posted by: afterburner
KGB, hat's off to ya! Your cause was worthwhile and it sounds like fun. There should be more events like this to foster ATV'ing. BUT! I hate to tell you this, your record of "well over 200" isn't gonna do it.....sorry. For what it's worth, we've thrown down the gauntlet and set the bar higher. The toy and food drive is going great! Take a shot at it during your next parade event and we'll follow suit afterwards. the competition could be fun
Posted by: afterburner
Thanks KGB, it's appreciated. Stand by for the next post of our (hopefully) successful record.
Posted by: afterburner
Yup! The old record was 84 quads in an officially sanctioned parade. We had 262 registered quads, over 300 counting ATC's and 6-wheeled rangers. The documentation has been sent to Guinness for recognition and we are awaiting their acceptance. It was covered by Dirt Wheels and should be published in a month or so. Thanks.
