I’m Paul Synkowicz and I am your Trails Director. I've been involved with off road vehicles for some 40 years on and off back before there was any sort of trails let alone clubs. I started with a Yamaha TriMoto the graduated to a very impressive for the time Honda 4 Trax 2WD and a couple Ploaris Sportsmans, things have changed allot since then. 

Now I've been involved with OVATVC for 3 years and can say the club and sport have latched on tight. I prefer a more spirited ride with some tight and technical obstacles to conquer. I've always enjoyed the outdoors and this just adds another layer of enjoyment. If you see me on the trails don't be afraid to say Hello.

After a week of traffic and hectic city happenings, he cherishes the time he spends on his ATV and most weekends and several evenings, you will likely meet him out on the trail with his son, Mitchell, who also happens to be one of the OVATVC's Trail Team Leads. Steve looks forward to meeting you out on the trails and hopes for the opportunity to stop for a chat with our trail users.
