[BLOODBANE]

Went with the guys from RMFTC and we had a blast. The trail is starting to get "ate" away at some of the obstacles. I was having problems making the BOGGERs stick(I was aired down to 13psi, should have went to 10 maybe). Anyways here some pics.....

Good stuff guys!! It was nice to meet you all also. No problems on the pushing, as you heard I have the nickname Shrek! Always willing to help and have fun!

[Patrolman]

Nice pics guys! Glad that everyone had fun!

nice to meet you guys! But i gotta ask warlord how did you put such a ding in your slider?

[Warrlord]

I'm bad with remembering names, sorry guys. I really appreciated the help when I got hung up on my frame on the stair steppers :thunb: I was almost ready to make use of that winch post to drag my sorry butt off of it :D


nice to meet you guys! But i gotta ask warlord how did you put such a ding in your slider?

I did that at French Creek last year. My left front tire was going over that rock, then my right rear tire went over a rock & pretty much pushed the front end downward & slammed that slider onto it. there was no "sliding" involved, just a big downward "THUNK!" I'm glad the slider was there though, otherwise the door would have been damaged. The rocker panels are made out of recycled pork & beans cans & fold if you breathe on them hard enough.

ahhhh, well thats why first piece of equipment i recommend is sliders. you can always get new tube. but fixing a door like that would be a big hassle.

Hmmmm Boggers... yummy. :) I ran them on my ol' Scrambler back East. I never aired them up over 18lbs for the highways and always aired down to 6-7lbs offroad - though I did have beadlocks. They just didn't "come alive" until you got into single digit pressures. Then, they were like having bear claws when rock crawling!

Thanks for posting up pics!

:lol: "made out of recycled pork and beans cans" love it. Good one

Looks like a good run! Thanks for posting up the pictures! That is a fun trail...

Liked the 'cans stuff, too..reminded me of the old school Smitty built 'rock rails'....Thankfully, they have turned the corner and are now making some serious product...SCRubicon's front bumper and winch being any indication...

Nice HC pic, I know that exact spot, I had a rough landing there also, not as bad as you though!! It was a few years ago and that trail looks like it has changed a fair amount since!
