Trail Talk Season 2 Ep 15: East Coast vs West Coast SXS with Chris Gatelein of Skinny Pedal Addicts
Description
In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Gatelein—better known as “Farm Use” from Skinny Pedal Addicts—for a conversation that dives into the differences between UTV riding on the East Coast versus the West. From tight tree trails and mud parks to wide-open slickrock and red sand, we explore how terrain, style, and off-road culture shift depending on where you’re riding.
Chris shares his experiences traveling and riding in both regions, what surprised him most about the west, and how different the builds, driving styles, and trail etiquette can be. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride in a totally different part of the country—or just want to hear some stories from a guy who lives and breathes throttle—this episode’s for you.
Topics Covered:
- Key differences in UTV terrain and trail style between East and West
- Culture shocks and surprises while riding across the U.S.
- What riders from each region can learn from each other
- Trail tips, builds, and off-road stories from both coasts
