First Trip to AOAA | Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area | Hill Climb | Eastern Reserve | Can Am X3

[@georgedenney1857]

Another great video and this one in our stopping ground. Next time your up aoaa i can show you how to get from AOAA to Centralia (look it up) and beyond. 100 mile trip :)

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I would love to do that ride.

[@TarheelTrailblazer]

I’m a product ambassador for Lifetime Trailmaps. Appreciate you using the maps and hope you enjoy them. Thanks for another great video. Haven’t been to AOAA yet. It’s a good drive from NC.

[@stevenancykulp5884]

I like riding here. Close to home. We used to ride here before AOAA leased the land. Nice vid

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you. I enjoyed riding here. Can’t wait for a return trip.

[@mikemoser6673]

As always I want to say thanks for bringing us along!! When you talk about you filming in the rain it makes me think about when you guys were riding Widow Maker while it was raining cats and dogs!!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Talk about one of the craziest rides ever lol. Widow maker in a downpour was one of the wildest times I’ve had haha. Those rides make for some good campfire stories though.

[@robbinstruckinglandclearin786]

You guys get to ride all the time I’m jealous. Love your videos and family 👍🤠

[@budbowl77]

I was at AOAA a few weeks ago. We hit up the Western trails. It was fun up until my man broke his right rear axle on his 570 Sportsman. Drove 3 hours for just 23 miles of riding. Bummer indeed.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Oh man, that would be a bummer. I’ve been there before. Hopefully you can get back and explore some more.

[@justaddmudd2852]

great video! we love going to AOAA!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I really enjoyed it. Most parks around me I can ride in a day. It’s nice to not hit the same trail twice haha. We will definitely be back.

[@marknew4246]

I'm very impressed with Ms. Sheri. You are a lucky man. You better take care of her.

[@LGlifeisgood]

It was nice to see you ride a bit more of a easier trail and always good to see your whole family in joying the time , and watching you cook and eat made me hungry , great video stay safe 🙏🏽

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Appreciate that, it’s nice to ride and not break something too 🤣🤣 I enjoy the destination rides too so maybe we’ll mix some of those in as well.

[@LGlifeisgood]

@@TheCanAmCrew yes it’s it’s nice to watch and just see the journey, and I’m not surprised it’s nice not to brake things as it is expensive to keep fixing them , I thought one of your team had broke a axel when he hit the rock as he powered up the hill , but another good day

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We thought he broke too haha, he hit that rock pretty hard but everything looked good when we checked it out.

[@southernsxsriding3366]

AOAA reminds me of an offroad park called Indian Mountain ORV here in Alabama. It has very similar terrain to AOAA, including lot's of extremely muddy areas to ride. Top Trails ORV also looks a lot like AOAA. As usual....another great video from "The Crew" !!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I’ve seen some videos of Indian mountain, looks like a good place to ride. Alabama is on our list. Hopefully sooner than later.

[@southernsxsriding3366]

[@matthewturowski8281]

You put out some great content. AOAA and FRO are each 45 minutes away from me, literally in my back yard. Mostly I ride at FRO because it is a bigger area. My favorite trails because of the views are Hatfield McCoy. Going down there again in mid-June, staying at Devil Anse ATV resort and am counting the days. Love it down there, just not a fan of the long ride. Normally I don't watch SXS videos, I'm still on 2 wheels, but at 53, don't know how much longer my body is going to be able to handle it and I may have to go to a cage. Pretty bad though when the old man can ride 100 miles a day at HM and the kids are calling home complaining to mom I'm pushing them too hard.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Haha. That’s awesome. I commend you for still being on 2 wheels. I just sold my dirt bike last week because it beats me up to much. With age comes cage. Thank you for watching our videos. We stayed at devil anse atv resort before. It’s a nice place and the owners are great folks.

[@matthewturowski8281]

@@TheCanAmCrew Most of the guys I ride with are older than me. We know our limits and figured out that stupid hurts (i.e. hold my beer and watch this). At our ages, we have nothing to prove and it now takes us months, not weeks to come back from injuries. My best days are when I can ride my bike 100 miles a day on the HM trails and just be tired, but not sore. We have a SXS too, trying to get my wife interested in riding it with me, its a work in process. I have taken her on easy trails in Potter county. She's not a Sherri, but I'm trying little by little to push her to the dark side, getting a toy hauler was a start.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

That’s good to hear. At least she’s willing to give it a shot. I know some wives that want nothing to do with it. It wouldn’t be as fun without my family there with me. Maybe one of these days we can meet up on the trails. Or if you come out this way to ride some of our atv parks let me know.

[@michelleroetter6515]

Always good footage guy's! I just got my first side x side a few months ago hopefully see you guys out there sometime. I ride mines & meadows & four seasons.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Awesome. Congrats on the new ride. We have never been to four seasons. I’ll have to check it out.

[@michelleroetter6515]

Thanks! Yeah picked up a krx 1000es I like it. Yeah four seasons is decent I ride there with a few people but there about done they don't like riding in the cold so... I'm riding all year 😁

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Nice, we ride year round too so If you have Facebook keep an eye on our page, maybe we’ll see you on the trail sometime. We usually post where we’re at on the weekends.

[@michelleroetter6515]

Definitely. Sounds good. Be safe!

AOAA is my go to spot to ride my Banshee. The place is so big that I’ve been there 5 times and still haven’t covered every trail.

[@TheBeatenTrail]

Great video, we missed you by a week or so.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

That just means we’ll have to come back so we can get together for a ride🤘🏻

[@AMARILDOAAG]

Hi, I'm still watching your videos! very good! when you can tell me, does the X3 XRC (orange color) know if it uses a wheel spacer reamer? It appears to be wider than the others. Do you know if it helps the performance of the X3? I await your considerations. hugs!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

The RC is a 72 inch machine. No wheel spacers. It’s that way from the factory. Being wider definitely helps with the stability.

[@donday1516]

As I also own a 2019 XDS (base) I am a subscriber to your channel and never miss your new videos. In many of your videos both of your cars are so mud covered they no longer can be distinguished as to which is which. Yet, as in the start of this video the interiors and exteriors are so clean and pristine it appears almost as if they were just unpacked from the factory shipping crates. Please describe how you manage to clean them up so nice! Do you make your kids clean them :-) ? After removing mud and dirt are you spraying the plastic surfaces with Johnson’s Pledge furniture polish?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Hey, thanks for watching, we really appreciate it. After each weekend of riding we spend quite a bit of time cleaning them. Just a normal power wash to get everything clean then I use a leaf blower to dry it. Once it’s dry I just spray it down with sc1 and we’re good to go. Sc1 is amazing if you’ve never used it. Smells good to haha. Water and mud just bead right off.

[@chadmas2893]

Good video

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you.

[@mnb5404]

Tell is about the wrap on the can am!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Mine is the yellow and silver one, that wrap comes from all motor graphics. My wife’s is the pink and black one. It came from amr racing. I would say they are both equally awesome. Both hold up great against scratches. I have a video on my channel of the installation on mine if you wanted to check that one out.

[@timminium1616]

AOA is so fun

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We really enjoyed riding aoaa. Can’t wait to get back there for another weekend of riding.

[@justinromano4083]

As always, another good video. You ever feel weird talking to a camera? Lol

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you, and that’s a good question. We just started doing this less than 2 years ago so it’s still fairly new to me so yes. It’s pretty awkward lol. I’m getting used to it slowly but still very much feels weird to talk to myself. I’ve always been the quiet anti social one so this is the first I’ve actually ever been in front of a camera. When we ride new places I like to search KZbin and see places to stay, what the trails are like etc. there really wasn’t many channels doing that so I try to give a full experience at different places and hope it helps someone else plan their trip.

[@justinromano4083]

@@TheCanAmCrew your channel does exactly that for me. Building my list of places and parks. I enjoy all the content, watching ur family grow is very cool. My oldest is in high school and I can see a change. I'm not cool anymore. Hahaha. I'd feel weird in places I didn't know face timing a camera everywhere. Keep it going!

[@slydog75]

Is there plenty of easy riding for beginners here? Trying to get my wife into this.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes, they have a ton of easier trails for all types of riding. The trails here tend to be on the rockier side and can be bumpy but it’s a great place to go.

[@AmericanJustice22022]

I booked an upcoming trip there and didn’t see anything about registration and insurance

What tablet/GPS setup are you running? And does it work without service?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I use a number of different apps depending on which state I’m riding. I use a Samsung tab a 10.1 for a tablet. In this video I was using lifetime trail maps it’s an app you can purchase and is roughly 280.00 plus a monthly subscription if you choose to get updates. It’s a great app if you ride all over the country because they have every state in there. I also run back country navigator pro with my own maps and free maps you can find on Facebook. That one is my favorite and very user friendly. I also use orux app, TrailView and vv mapping, vv mapping is great for Michigan trails.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Sorry almost for got to answer your other question. Yes. It works without service.

Where all have you been in Pennsylvania ?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We’ve ridden just about every park/state trail in Pa except for famous reading outdoors, lost trails and majestic trails. We have videos on our channel of all the places in pa we’ve been as well. Off the top of my head we’ve been to mines and meadows, scrubgrass, tri county, Indian creek, rock run, mountain ridge, snow shoe, Ramey, portage, bloody skillet, whiskey springs, Allegeny national forest, Aoaa. I think that’s about it in pa.

[@n2sport1]

@@TheCanAmCrew I'm in west virginia about 2.5 hours from mountain ridge and 2 hours from AOAA. My wife and I have ridden rock run, aoaa and rock run. Which one is your favorite for your type of riding in PA? Mountain Ridge is probably our favorite and where we go the most. Been to Hatfield-McCoy 3 times, twice to Ashland Resort and once to Devil's Backbone

[@TheCanAmCrew]

If I had to choose out of those 3 I would choose rock run but only because of the jeep trails. They have the most technical riding on the jeep trails compared to other places around us. There are many more places within an hour or so of us to ride. Most of which are on our channel. Several hundred miles of parks and outlaw trails that I frequent.

[@charlescorwin881]

How many days does it take to see the whole park?
