About Us
Aditude gear is a family company with family values, common sense and a respectful attitude being our focus. We love to travel and we love to ride our ATV's. Our experience in design, sales and shipping combined with our hobbies made this choice of business a natural. We have enjoyed raising five children and as a young family we enjoyed our sand rail, three wheelers and camping. That was back in the day when off-roading was an infant sport, we would go to the Oregon dunes on any weekend and enjoy the masses of open space and sand. As our family grew we chose to peruse other family activities until the kids were all old enough to ride responsibly, the youngest was 17 when we bought our new four wheeled ATV's. Ron, "dad" rides a Honda Rancher 350, Cathy "mom" rides a 400ex, and when we hit the dunes it is usually on the Oregon coast at Winchester Bay dunes. During hunting season we greatly enjoy the clouds of dust that the central Oregon back roads supply.
We recycle! Don't be surprised if your package shows up in a pre-used shipping box with a variety of recycled packaging to cushion the box. Just doing our part to conserve landfill space.
The name "Aditude Gear"...
Now that you know my background I will get on my soap box and give you a piece of my mind about the situation with the disintegrating perception of off-road riders. The name I chose for my company sums it up, it's all in the attitude. "A good attitude is the most important riding gear you will ever put on." Respect is an attitude and it only takes one adrenaline crazed, disrespectful rider without any common sense to ruin it for us all. Land, dune, trail closures and pure hatred of any off-road sport is rising at an epidemic rate. Huge articles have appeared in news papers stating the dangers on this "killer" sport. Now I don't believe everything I read, and don't you either! I looked it up for myself and the death rates for off-road vehicles are posted on various statistical sites. I found that you are way more likely to die in an auto, the odds are about the same as in an aircraft… I could go on and on look for yourself at this study, Odds of dying by NSC and decide for yourself. Yes ATV's are dangerous and must be treated with respect, same as any motorized vehicle. Children should ride age appropriate vehicles along with all the safety gear. I didn't let my 7 year old out in the back yard to play with my 270 hunting rifle, neither would I let my 8 year old grandson ride alone on our Rancher. I use this example because the statistics show that your odds of dying from a gun are about the same as off-road vehicles. Common sense! We limit the use of hunting firearms to those over 12 and then only with a completed hunter safety course. All fire arms and hand gun ownership is limited to those over 18 while some states allow very young children operate huge machines with little training and often no supervision! Common sense!
Where we ride sand camping is allowed, many use this privilege responsibly while others leave the place trashed, don't obey the boundaries, noise or alcohol restrictions. Bad attitude. This problem is the same with off-roaders as it is in any activity, you can find the same problem in any campground, highway, or town in the USA. It has always been the duty of the responsible citizens to clean up after, police and suffer for the bad choices of the few. The biggest problem is arising in areas where off-roaders have been banned but the outlaws still persist; there is no one there to clean up after them or to help police illegal actions. If you want to know more simply google "off-road land closure" and read the multitude of articles written from the vantage point of both sides. Its really very simple, if you want to be respected you must act with common sense and respect for others. One more step up on my soapbox of attitude...To those riders out there who claim to be Christians, whats your attitude...
Ride hard.
Go huge. Tear up the sand. Master the mud.
Take on extreme trails but always remember A good attitude is the most important riding gear you will ever put on!
