Fourth Story

"It's not about speed, it's about having fun." That's what Meagan Wold says about 4-wheeling. "I only like to go fast if I am going straight to a destination."

Wold has been 4-wheeling for seven years. She just recently got her own 4-wheeler two years ago. She was riding other peoples in the past years.

"The first time I ever went, my friend took me and wasn't careful, she ran over my foot. I have a nasty scar to prove it. I was scared for a little while after but I got over it." She received a hair line fracture in her right foot and two deep cuts.

She first got into it when she lived in Onamia for a while. "Everyone in that area has one. So my dad got a 4-wheeler too and we liked to go on our land."

The equipment she uses are a helmet, boots are nice but not needed. She also says to wear a long sleeve when you go.

Wold likes riding in the woods, over fallen trees and around mud puddles. Sometimes through mud puddles. She hates riding in sand.

"The most fun I had was at the gilbert OHV park, taking risks that I didn't think I could take. The trails were fun and they are all labeled on their difficulty levels, I went on some trails I was scared to try but ended up having a lot of fun!"

The place she would love to go and ride is the trails up in the 2 harbors area called moose walk.

What satisfaction does it bring to you? It's fun, says Wold.

  1. You did a really nice job at describing everything! I could almost picture the event in my head. The only thing I would have changed would have been some of the quotes. I thought that some of them could have been paraphrased. Otherwise you did a really nice job!

  2. I liked how you wrote the story. It seemed so exciting the way you wrote it. It was nice how you described a lot of thing in order, like scars, what to wear, and where she likes going.
