Outlaw Trail Rides Information Links








Observe all safety precautions, laws and ordinances outlined in the "Safety" section of the registration packet, particularly the use of helmets, eye-protection, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots and gloves.
To ride in the Jamboree, you will be required to sign a waiver of liability when you pick up your participant packet. All day rides will leave from the Rodeo Grounds at 8:00 a.m. unless otherwise stated. All Jamboree rides are classed as to difficulty of trail and necessary rider skill and experience. "Never-ridden", for the person who has never ridden before & requires the very easiest of trails; "Beginner", for riders with limited ATV experience & who requires easy trails; "Intermediate", for the somewhat experienced, but skilled, competent rider, who requires less challenging trails; "Advanced", for the rider who is more experienced with no limitations as to his riding ability, and who can handle the most challenging and demanding trails. We assume that each rider will accurately assess his own abilities and choose those rides which will not offer more challenges beyond his experience or ability. Beginning riders who place themselves in an advanced group become a problem to the entire gro up. Please choose rides accordingly. If you're not sure which rides you would be qualified for, please call our toll-free number and ask about that particular trail.
All trails/roads used by the Jamboree are understood to be two-way. Even on narrow trails, you may find someone coming on an ATV from the opposite direction. Watch carefully for oncoming traffic on all roads and trails. Please be courteous to other riders.
On each trail ride, you will want to be prepared for possible rain, wind, or cold evening weather. Please pack snacks, food, water, extra gas, as needed on the trail. A raincoat or parka would be a good idea to have. September is the end of our summer monsoon weather and an afternoon rain shower could be a problem. You will want to pack your camera or binoculars for wildlife viewing and pictures. The mountain country is rich with wildlife.
Trail Masters will review the rules with all participants before the ride. If you have any questions regarding these rules please do ask the Trail Master.
1. Each rider is responsible for his or her own safety.
2. AZ ATV Outlaw Trail Jamboree requires wearing helmets and safety gear.
(Pants, no tank tops, goggles, boots that protect the ankles and gloves)
3. NO Alcohol or illegal drugs will be allowed while on the trail, grounds for immediate dismissal from the Jamboree.
4. Don't leave the group without informing the Trail Master. We will not leave anybody, if you get lost from the group, we will search until you are found. In the unlikely event you do get lost, find an intersection and stay there. Searching for a moving target is very difficult; as well you could be miles from your last known location in just minutes.
5. No passing other riders while traveling the trail, Space is usually for managing dust.
6. When stopping for any reason, always keep the road open for other traffic. Motorcycles and quads might come racing through, need to leave them some room. So don't stand in their way either, that might hurt.
7. Each rider is required to wait for the rider behind him or her at each fork or turn on the trail. As well, watch the rider behind all the time. If he/she stops for any reason, stop and wait. This will cause a chain reaction and keep the group together.
If you get to a fork and don't know which way to go…. Stop and wait for help. Even if it takes hours. If you stay on the known trail we will find you soon. If you head down a trail we did not use, it could take hours and hours to find you. As well, if you head down a trail that is not where the group went, you just became a Ride Master because everybody behind you will follow. Please realize that these trails have been designated for the jamboree only and are unmarked. The Trail Master is very acquainted and knowledgeable of the trails; for your safety, please stay with the group.
8. Turn lights on and assure plenty of spacing between riders. Lights on will help the person in front of you see you easily and quickly.
9. Ensure you have plenty of fuel and water for the length of the ride, plus some reserve of both.
10. Each participant needs to ride at his or her own pace, these guidelines provide assurance nobody will get lost or left behind. It is critical that you ride at your own pace, at your own comfort level. If you ride beyond your comfort level; (1) you are no longer having a good time, and (2) that increases the odds of an accident. Each ride has to stay on schedule to assure returning to the Rodeo Grounds on time for the next event. If the pace is too fast for a rider another Trail Master will come and get that rider and escort them back to the Rodeo Grounds. If you have this concern at all, talk with the Trail Master before leaving on the trails, or call the Jamboree office.
11. Inform the Trail Master if you are a beginner ATV Rider. The Trail Master will ask that you ride towards the front of the pack.
12. There will be restrooms available on some trails. There will be breaks and picture opportunities provided on all the trails. If you must stop while the group is moving, go ahead, but these need to be kept to a minimum. All riders will then come to a stop so the group can stay together. If you do stop, leave your ATV near the trail so those behind you will know somebody has stopped. Our tail gunner will not pass an ATV on the trail.
These rules are to ensure a safe and enjoyable trail ride for all participants. They provide you with an understanding on how the Jamboree Staff will manage leading hundreds of riders safely over hundreds of miles of trails through the beautiful White Mountains.
Relax and Enjoy the ride, the Arizona Jamboree will take care of the rest!
