Kevin - Unless you're willing to put up some cash to lease or purchase land, don't expect anyone to "give" you a place to ride. You may consider yourself part of the university because all the members are students, but I seriously doubt the board recognized you as an actual student club. As far as the city goes, I do know that both Austin, TX (Emma Long) and Oklahoma City, OK (Draper Lake) have public parks designated for off-road vehicle recreation. However these are public parks and I assume they are controlled by the city even though volunteer groups probably maintain the trails. Your best bet is to look into a long-term lease. Contact a realtor to find out how much farm land is being leased for in your area. They may also know of a tract of undeveloped land that could be available. Keep in mind you'll want to be far from any sort of housing development. Of course the land-owner will probably want to sign some sort of legal-ease document to keep him from being sued in case of injury and/or death. You will also need the members to sign a liability release document. I would contact an attorney to have him draft up the required documents. They may also need to be notarized. As you can see it's not cheap, but well worth the effort.
