ATVMN Member - Craig Wadzink

Craig is a former racer of snowmobiles, motorcycles and Corvettes. So, naturally, the first thing he did when he bought his 2020 Polaris RZR XP Turbo was park it and take it apart.

He upgraded the wiring and circuits, added accessories, and even painted the logos and brake calipers. A walk-around takes about 30 minutes to see it all.

“My entire adult life has been surrounded by machines that are driven by gas and go fast. I wanted a machine that I could really trick out and make it “my” machine. Yes, I am “that” guy! I am pleased to have the opportunity to show my uniquely customized riding machine. Hope you like what I’ve done so far.”

Retired and living near Hackensack, Craig chairs a number of community non-profits, is a DNR Trail Ambassador, ATV Safety Instructor, and recently joined ATV Minnesota. He has volunteered to help the Over The Hills Gang build puncheon bridges for their new Emily-Blind Lake Connector, and is a board member of the Woodtick Wheelers ATV Club and part of its Search & Rescue ATV Team.
