Black Hills UTV Rally Cancelled

In 2007 Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspension and Top 50 Rally Park started the Black Hills UTV Rally for ATV, dirt bike, and side-by-side enthusiasts. This event is held over Labor Day weekend each year and offers demo rides, aftermarket vendors, competitive events, and daily-guided rides for all ages. With the support of participants, off-road magazines and TV shows as well as industry leaders and OEMs such as Arctic Cat, Yamaha, KYMCO, and Kawasaki the event has doubled in size each year. Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspension and Top 50 Rally Park are currently “in negotiations” with a well-known event community in order to develop a new business location. This community fully supports not only Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspensions’ manufacturing, but also the events Top 50 Rally Park has developed and plans to host in their new hometown. This relocation would place Top 50 Rally Park and Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspension together in one, better-equipped location. Understanding a move takes a significant amount of time, planning and investment, Top 50 Rally Park will be postponing it’s 2009 events with the intent of continuing to host these annual events again in 2010 at the new location.

Due to our scheduled move and the inability for the Black Hills UTV Rally to gain reasonable access from Piedmont, South Dakota to the forest service trails this year, the 2009 Black Hills UTV Rally will be postponed for 2009. Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspension and Top 50 Rally Park plan to hold the 2010 event at our new location with the assistance of our new business community. As event partners, the Off-Road Riders Association will host a poker run and volunteers will offer guided rides September 5th-7th Labor Day Weekend 2009 from the Top 50 Rally Park. Poker Run information will be posted at www.offroadriders.org. The Black Hills UTV Rally has donated each year to this organization in support of their efforts to educate and maintain the trail system in the Black Hills and encourages riders to come out for the informal, but well organized event. The future Black Hills UTV Rally host city and the Black Hills National Forest Service are currently working together to provide us with trail access year-round and for the 2010 event. Considering the new host community’s reputation along with all our present OEM and industry backing we expect the 2010 event will be bigger and better than ever before, offering more for all of the UTV rally participants to do, see and enjoy, not to mention a well recognized and welcoming community.

Independent Cycle Inc./ Legend Air Suspension and Top 50 Rally Park feel fortunate in these rough economic times to have support from our industry peers as well as our hometown communities. We know, focusing our efforts and basing our decisions on future expansion and the development of our new home will have a greatly positive effect on the rapid growth and development of our events and aftermarket suspension businesses.

Legend Air Suspension presents:

“Dirt Vendor's Tour 2009”!

Legend Air Suspension’s no compromise smooth ride and inability to bottom out is well known in the motorcycle industry where they have been manufacturing performance suspension systems for over 10 years. Now they’re making a name for themselves in the off-road industry by applying their exclusive Gates Kevlar Air Spring technology, deflective disc damping, and twin tube construction to the off-road world for side by sides, UTV’s and ATV’s.

In preparing to tour the country displaying and offering test rides at off-road events, Legend Air Suspension decided to partner with other well-known aftermarket companies now fitting side-by-side, UTV and ATV machines. Legend looked for only the highest quality partners when developing the Legend Air Suspension Dirt Vendors Tour (DVT). 2009 Legend DVT partners include Supertrapp, Industrial Tire Products (ITP), K&N, Trask Performance, Dakota Digital, Kolpin, PowerMadd, Curtis Cabs, S&S Off Road Performance, Kal-Gard, Side x Side Action Magazine, the Black Hills UTV Rally and of course Legend Air Suspension.

The Legend Air Suspension Dirt Vendors Tour will install their partner products on three stock machines to show how anyone can help improve their rides’ function and appearance with quality aftermarket parts.  The Legend DVT will then display their 2009 display machines at several events throughout the nation and will be featured in Side-by-Side Action Magazine.
