Attention
Parents of Minor Children! -
Permission to Ride -
A
birth certificate for all minor children is required (anyone under age
18). The minor's birth certificate MUST show BOTH birth
parents' names.
Please
furnish a photocopy of both birth
parents' drivers licenses.
If only one parent accompanies the minor
child to
the BMMS Park, then the absent parent MUST
sign the Minor
Release Form and have their
signature notarized.
Otherwise, the minor child WILL NOT be
permitted to use the Park's trails. There areNO
EXCEPTIONS to this rule. If one Parent is deceased we need a copy
of the Death Certificate.
Please make sure that you review your birth certificate to
ensure the
required information is listed. If you
have any questions regarding a minor child being able to ride, please
call the Park at (828) 635-7766 and we will do our best to answer
your questions.
Also,
effective October 1, 2006, every ATV
operator born
on or after January 1, 1990, must possess a safety certificate
indicating
successful completion of an ATV safety course sponsored or approved by
the All
Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute.
The
birth certificate photocopy and minor release form for child riders
will be held on site for 12 months.
Attention
ATV Riders! -
Tire Notice -
BMMS Park will no
longer allow aggressive, deep tread tires to be used at the Park.
These tires can best
be described as Swamper, Mudder, Paddle, or Agricultural Type Tractor
tires. We do this in the best
interest of our trails and the majority of our riders. We are sorry if
this impacts you.
If you have any of the above
type tires, please make sure to measure your tire height BEFORE coming
to the park to ride. Maximum allowed tire tread height on ATVs is
3/4 of an inch.
Current
Conditions at Brushy
Mountain
If
you have the skills then we have the thrills. If you like to ride
twisting, turning, climbing, descending, challenging trails that seem
to go on forever then Brushy Mountain is the place for you. You can
take the long trail number one and ride for 24 miles straight through
or you can take one of many return trails and head back early to the
parking lot. If
you are on two wheels and you have the skills and like tough,
challenging, single track trails that will test your abilities we have
over 24 miles of them. Over 40 miles of single track are planned for
Brushy Mountain and we are adding to it all the time.
So when you get bored from just turning left and right and are looking
for something more then "Come Ride the Mountain."

PENDING ATV
LEGISLATION WARNING UPDATED 2/2/10 Major
legislation
affecting off-road vehicles is pending in the North Carolina
legislature in the 2010 session. Senate
Bill H86 (3rd edition), if passed, would
require all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles that are used as off-road
vehicles to be registered with the Division of Motor Vehicles, much as
cars and trucks are currently. Along with the registration would
be accompanying fees intended to create a new stream of revenue for the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This bill
has not yet passed. Please read
it in our provided link and contact your
representatives should you disagree with it.
