[HARDTRAILZ]

Man I couldnt cause i had to stay home to help the family.....but yesterday I end up getting hit head on by a car on my motorcycle!!!!!

I am fine for the most part....considering......but looks like u guys had a way better time then me. hahahahaha.

I dont know why you didnt come and really dont care, but you said you had a audition and now its that you had to help family and I forget what Alek said you told him.

The basic thing is...you didnt come.

Who walked behind Kyle's truck and took the pics of him coming off the step? Where are the pictures???

[HARDTRAILZ]

I drove it and I want to see the vid, but I can't at work. I know it probably doesnt look like much, but it was a bit tricky and I thank JD for walking me through it. I was worried at the end to double foot the pedals to get the g80 to engage and end up coming off the edge quicker than needed, but it all worked out.

I did walk up and say ok, but figured it would take out the rear bumper. Glad it when as smooth as it did. I am really glad to have had all the armor and Barton's welds did great every time I took a hit. Thanks

Looked great on video. Very calmly executed.

Am amazed you never touched.

Very light sliding on the front half of the passenger rock rail...

I knew if I did not pay attention, it could get expensive and/or dangerous. It just worked. I got about 2 foot of slider on pass side missing paint, but I never even felt it touch. Must have slide smooth. Glad I didnt use bedliner or anything grippy on them. Plus it is a $0.25 spray paint repair now.

I need to get home and see this stuff.

I know there is a video of another side trail i really want to see. Definitely tested the skids and actually got a guy going up main trail past us to stop and watch.


EDIT...Man thats sounds so squeaky, but it looks so easy compared to what it felt like in the cab. Next time I am going up it.

[MrSmithsTB]

Looks like it was a great time, fellas. I wanted to jump in at the last minute, but Gramma kicked the bucket so I had to stay around for all the fun stuff associated with that. Hopefully next time.

[Mooseknuckle]

Sorry to hear about your Grand ma Bob! It looks like a great time pictures are awesome. Hopefully I can make the fall event if not next year I will definitely be in.

[Trail X]

Here's a semi-quick video compilation. I'm trying to pack/plan next week's vacation while I was putting this together!

Enjoy!

[HARDTRAILZ]

Awesome. I love how randomly there are shots of me bashing frame on that side trail.

The night stuff was cool. Have to do more of that next time.

[bartonmd]

so uh... I assume you're going to make a video for the single best climb of the trip, that started at 5:10 on the video, but got cut off less than halfway through??? Kyle's "dare" climb that he was the only one that would do, on Friday afternoon...
