11-9-08 Windrock

I am sorry that some could not ride with us Sunday. However, it is probably a good thing. We hit some tough trails. We only road about 27 miles and it took us all day. mking wanted to be back at the trucks at 3:00 "sorry". We got back at 6:00. But, it was alot of fun.

PICS








Now this little hill was the first real scary obstacle we incounterd. It had what I call a flip rock right in the middle of it. A flip rock is exactly what it sounds like. Flip your ass over if you are not careful. WVrhino, mking and I were really giving this rock/hill a study when Chris hopped in his rhino and said "I want to climb that hill" and up the hill he went. His 2" left helped him quite a bit where we had to navigate a bit more. But we all made it up even the three wheeler. Good job Chris, I am proud of you









More riding


















This is the most unbelievable thing of the whole day

Great Pics Ronnie......
Sunday was the most awsome ride i ever been on. best to date....
I wish we could do that every trip. but i realize most just wont
do it. its just to Extream. and dangerious , I had a blast. i love that tecnical shit.
and the stuff. that just flat takes Balls. anyone can ride fast. But when you look
up one of them hills with rocks the size of a Rhino. about 100 yards long.
almost straght up and say. I am going up that bitch.
when you have a pretty good idea you ant going to make it. Now.
that gets the old Blood flowing good.....
First time. i ever Spent the whole day in Low range 4WD and most of the
time. you better have that Diff locked. or you are going 100 yards.
straght back down the way you came....
But it was fun..... Got to take it to the edge .......

As for the beer pic. I almost needed to be drunk.
to do what we did. But i was tricked.... :D Ronnie
said. can you hold my beer for a second..... Then SNAP. he took
a pic..... :(lmao:

You all know i dont drink. I ride like this sober. :D
imagine what i could do if i drank like yall do......

Chris......

I love the first pic. of me standing up at the top. :D
Thats where i am telling Ronnie are you comeing up.
he said. i dont know. we may try to find a way around..... :(lmao:
I shamed him a bit. and he Locked them diffs. borrowed a Helmet
and got her Done.... then everyone else. came up.

Marty. i think on 39. I could have made it. i think i had the clearance.
to clear the rocks we needed to clear. Ronnie was in front of me. and
he was not sure if he could clear them. So we turned around.
you are right. if we broke out winches. we would make it for sure.
everything we did sunday. we did on power alone. we never had to
winch up no where....

Here is a few more of sunday ride.
my best ride yet.

Here is Todd giveing it hell up

5 PM it was getting dark. the temp was about 38
i froze my ass off comeing back down that mountain.
Ronnies buddy was soaked. from going through a mud

Thanks Marty....

Marty , Some of them you could. but we went alot
of places. a Rubicon just would not fit. Hell the Rhino would bearly
fit between the rocks.. some of them rocks was as big as a Rubicon.... :D .


This was Rhino Country....
Just take that fiber glass off. Change them tires. Lock
the Diffs, and lets Get er Done.....
I found the higher you are lifted. the better off you are...
WVRhino said he would have new tires before the next ride.
No terracrosses for him no more..... and he even got a flat.
Tim said thay were to small....

Chris....

Good pictures and I would not have had the balls to climb some of those hills It's good I didn't come because your Sunday ride is not my thing you guys are

So what trails were those on?

hey fellers, I've been lookin at that hill for a while... I aint had balls bigg enough to climb it yet... but the pictures make it look a "little" easier,... if a 3 wheeler can climb that trail, than BIGG BUBBA can do it. AND by the way, ... nice pics

Super pics guys!! I am glad you all had a blast and made it back in one piece. Looking forward to getting out there with you guys next year.

Bubba there is 2 things you are forgetting. :D yes the 3 wheeler made it.
but. he did have some assistance.it was not easy. he did stall out once.
and Ronnie was there to catch him. so he did not go back down
the hill and most important.
John has balls the size of the wheels on my Rhino.....

That makes a big difference.....

Trail 39. If you take the gravel road marked trail 3 to the bottom of 39 that hill is not to far into the trail.

Bubba,

John (the guy on the three wheeler) is the best rider I have ever seen hands down.

That hill is no B. S. I put a helmet on to climb it and I hardly ever wear a helmet.

Nice pics looks like alot of fun.... and Chris I would have probably been right behind you
