ATV Association of Minnesota
SILVER BAY, Minn., USA -- The All-Terrain
Vehicle Association of Minnesota
( ATVAM
)
lined up 1,632 ATVs. which formed a parade along Minnesota's
North Shore-setting the new world record for the Largest
ATV parade
.
After hours of counting, parade chairwoman Les Schermerhorn
said 1,632 ATVs participated - shattering
the old record of 1,138, set in 2006 in Kentucky.
In 2008, ATVAM
made its first attempt at breaking the World Record but fell
short by only 55 ATV's. The official count for the parade
was 1,083 ATV's (three wheelers and side x sides did not count
towards the record).
The event had so many people that organizers
said they needed to ride 5 miles just to get everyone on the
trail at the same time.
In addition to the ride, participants
were asked to bring a donation to the Silver Bay food shelf.
