Largest ATV Parade

The All Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota (ATVAM) is a state based organization to encourage and promote the use of all-terrain vehicles in collaboration and conjunction with other off-road motorized groups in the state of Minnesota. The ATVAM is a grass-roots, non-profit organization established in 1983 and currently has over 12,000 members and 70 local clubs dedicated to responsible ATV use, safety, and the development of a sustainable ATV trail system in Minnesota. We promote legislation and regulations favorable to use of all-terrain vehicles in Minnesota on public lands and access to public lands as well as the development of sustainable trails.  We promote safe use and safety training on the use of all-terrain vehicles. The All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota (ATVAM) lined up 1,632 ATVs. It   formed a parade along Minnesota's North Shore. 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.

It has been the goal of the organization to ensure that  the over 3 lakh  registered  ATVers have sufficient places to ride on and also a  make the experience  high on responsibility and safety.

The Largest ATV Parade was set by   1632  ATVs  at Silver Bay, Minnesota, United States of America on June 14, 2009.
