Yeah we called them Ann Arbor Trails. I grew up in Inkster near Inkster Park. We used to go there all the time. I had my loaded direct from Robinson loaded with Profiles, Blue ano rims with cook bros hubs, DX pedals, Red and blue mx 1000's, and red white and blue ame finis taken " for a ride" by some A$$&^%*%^ stoner dude. He was hanging around all day, and of course decides mine was the one to steal. That was a hard phone call to make to my parents at 13 years old. I would kill to have that one back. My parents were told by Mark at Robinson the frame and fork they were sending me were going to be a Scott Clarck model they were going to introduce. I had cracked my other Robinson and they sent me the frame fork bars and pads all on the house.

I loved that step / pit jump. Those along with the trails behind the old Livonia Mall were some of the best around

Escanaba, MI June 1985

I am running second on my Patterson PR200...my buddy Gary leading on his Traker. We decided this was early in our racing careers as we are both still wearing our motorcycle helmets which is all we had at the time.

I did not personally know Rob Deneweth but I sure remembered hearing his name alot back in the day. He posted in this thread about two pages back. It is sad to report I just read his obituary in the Detroit Free Press website today, only 46 years old. RIP Rob.
