SETTING THE GOLD STANDARD
How Wildcat Offroad Became the Benchmark for Off-Road Excellence
THE GOLD STANDARD BEGINS IN EAST BERNSTADT, KENTUCKY
Wildcat Offroad Park isn’t just where TTN found its heartbeat —
it’s where the future of American off-roading is being rewritten.
Under the leadership of Terry & Vanessa Blankenship and Anthony & Kim Brummett, Wildcat has transformed into a park defined by vision, integrity, community, and the kind of leadership that puts riders first.
In a time when the off-road world has become overwhelmed with confusion, inaccurate maps, ego-driven antics, and inconsistent standards from park to park, Wildcat chose a different path:
They chose excellence.
They chose unity.
They chose to set the example.
WHAT “GOLD STANDARD” ACTUALLY MEANS
⭐ 1. Accuracy Over Assumptions
Wildcat is one of the first parks to actively correct outdated maps, close unsafe routes, remove misinformation, and support TTN’s official digital remapping initiative — ensuring riders have the truth, not guesswork.
⭐ 2. Safety Before Popularity
From closures of dangerous sections to clearly communicated hazards, Wildcat puts rider safety above profit, pressure, or trends.
⭐ 3. Community Over Cliques
The Wildcat culture is built on unity — riders helping riders, veterans guiding newcomers, and families riding beside each other.
No cliques.
No ego-driven drama.
Just pure off-roading the way it was meant to be.
⭐ 4. Education as a Priority
With TTN’s support, Wildcat provides:
route guidance
terrain understanding
ride recommendations
recovery advice
support for new riders
onboarding for families and youth
⭐ 5. Transparency in Every Decision
Closures, trail changes, special events, maintenance, and reroutes are communicated clearly and honestly through the Wildcat Official Riders Hub, preventing confusion and keeping riders protected.
⭐ 6. True Partnerships — Not Paid Influence
Wildcat collaborates only with individuals and organizations who align with integrity, accuracy, and rider-first values — not those chasing clout or revenue.
⭐ 7. A Park That Serves Its Riders
From the parking lot to the peaks, the Wildcat staff and owners are present, engaged, and invested in supporting every rider who rolls through their gates.
It’s not talk — it’s action.
