Frequently
Asked Questions
Why were
the days of the Jamboree changed from the way it was for the first two
Jamborees?
Our original jamborees had rides on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This meant that people would travel to and from the jamboree on Thursday and Monday. This actually caused difficulties for many riders and want-to-be riders. By moving the ride days to Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, allows people to travel to the Jamboree on Tuesday and back home on Sunday. This means that days will only have to be taken off of work during one week versus two. This should allow more people to attend for all four days of great riding.
My wife
and I ride double on an ATV/UTV, are each of us considered a rider?
Does each
participant need their own application?
We are new
to this sport, is this a good event to participate in?
Are there
new trails for this year's Jamboree?
We added a new ride last year that does require you to transport your machine to another location. We also have two additional trails that depending on the snow conditions, we will be using also.
Are
helmets required?
Can my
kids ride in our UTV or two-up ATV?
Yes! As long as the ATV or UTV is specifically built for more than one rider, then anyone else (spouse, friend, kid) can come along. However, every person (adult or child) must pay an entry fee. The fee is the same whether they ride all 4 days or just 1, 2 or 3 days.
What are
the laws in California regarding ATV's?
Is there a
place for RV's?
Is there fuel available close to the event center?
Yes! Fuel, groceries, and other convenience items can be purchased at the Walker Country Store located in the heart of Walker. Very convenient to all!
Is food available after the local restaurants have closed?
Yes! Fuel, groceries, and other convenience items can be purchased at the Walker Country Store located in the heart of Walker. Very convenient to all!
Can I ride my 3 wheeled ATV?
No! At this time, due to insurance policies, all ATV's must be types which have 4 wheels - two on the front and two on the back. Motorcycles are not allowed in the Jamboree.
Can I rent
an ATV for this event?
YES - Please directly contact Lake Tahoe Adventures at 1-800-865-4679.
What
if I can’t come to the Jamboree after I have registered? Do I
get a refund?
Can I
register after June 1st?
Yes we will accept late registration up until the day of the Jamboree. Those that register late pay the same $150 fee and receive all of the items except for a T-Shirt. This is due to the fact that the T-Shirt order must be place weeks prior to the event. NOTE - space may or may not be available so please contact us directly by phone to make certain there is space after the May 24th deadline.
I have
other questions, whom should I contact to get answers?
Where
do I go to get my credentials at the opening of the Jamboree?
What do I
do if one of my rides is cancelled prior to or during the Jamboree?
Can
I ride my OHV on Highway 395 during the Jamboree?
Per California Vehicle Code, no OHV's are allowed to ride on the highway at any time.
Can
I ride double on the Jamboree?
California State Law does not allow the riding of an ATV with more than one person. However, the operator of an ATV/UTV that is designed for two or more people may ride on public lands. (see http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro/recreation/ohvs/caohv.html for more information). Some rides may not be safe for two riders even if the ATV is designed for that purpose. Please be sure to have the necessary equipment that will make double riding both safe and enjoyable. If you have a legal ATV designed for two riders (an operator and one passenger), both riders must pay a complete entry fee.
Can
I switch rides after registration?
Anytime prior to May 24th, rides can be switched by calling our office at 530-208-6078. After May 24th, rides may be switched at the registration desk on any day of the ride. Do not just switch without geting permission from the registration desk. All changes are based on availability.
Can I
bring my dog?
Well mannered, non-barking Dogs are allowed on the rides as long as they are under the riders control at all time and on the riders ATV/UTV. Well mannered dogs are a must so that all other riders can enjoy the ride without any worries of being "disturbed" by someone's dog. If you would like to board your animal during the Jamboree, there are a few veterinary facilities about 30 minutes north of Walker in Gardnerville and Minden Nevada.
Can
I bring my Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) on the rides?
UTV's ARE allowed at this time on most trail rides. See the Ride List page for more information.
Can
I just show up to the Jamboree and participate in the rides without
paying a fee?
