Creek Bottom ATV Trails in Doles, Georgia was the site of the very first High Lifter ATV East Coast Nationals mud riding event September 17 - 20th. ATV enthusiasts from across the south came together for the four day event organized by High Lifter Products.
The competitions were exciting for both the competitors and the spectators as contestants competed in the Bad to Da' Bone Show & Shine, Poker Run, Mudda-Cross and the main event, the Mud Bogs. Some of the most impressive ATV mud racing machines and riders competed for cash and prizes throughout the week. The Bomb Squad freestyle riders entertained the crowds with their extreme freestyle show Saturday night that included backflips by Caleb Moore and a Polaris RZR soaring through the air at 30 feet. One lucky guy was chosen from the audience to ride with Moore in his flying Polaris RZR.
Vendors offered a variety of ATV related goods and services for the riders to utilize. All the major ATV manufacturers including Polaris, Arctic Cat and Can Am/BRP were there in full force displaying their new 2010 units. Yamaha Motor Corporation brought in a team of experts to provide free mechanical services to keep the ATVs and Side X Sides on the trails and in the mud.
