He actually looks like it might be geared down a little. The owner was doing flat track racing with it and decided to take it back to a trail machine. It just felt good seeing him behind me, and knowing that I'm just that close in power.

There in the one lap I was toying with him and stabbing the throttle and almost lost my shot. With a little more tuning, and a good valve job, I may not end up doing a bbk for a while, I just don't know.

WooterWooterWooter. If you worked harder you could have had fun with me at work today. What hill is that?
Oh well, I have some boating S**t to do anyway.

Looks like a better day at work then I had...........
Things must be pretty flat where you live if that's a BIG hill.
I guess you're right, the pics don't do it justice.

Its the one by the jump and the rooty ridge , the one ritchy rolled in the razor.

We don't have the biggest hills here, its more technical than anything cause its covered in roots that constantly try to kick you.. Not a big hill by most standards but a challenge none the less

barncat · 01-25-2012, 11:13 PM

These hills suck. They are usually 20-30" up but the grade is steeper than appears, and they are tore up.

I rolled mine on a P.O.S. 10' hill because it was lipped, and rooted. It was humbling at best. Plus you throw in the loose broam and what may be a "small" steep hill, just got s****y!

tylerltz400 · 01-25-2012, 11:56 PM

those hills look like fun.. Im not going to talk sh!t because I know how much a difference it is looking at hills in a picture..
I can tell you because look at this picture this is a steep steep hill and it looks like a 45 degree hill.

and this is what it looks like more

insanez400shane · 01-26-2012, 01:34 AM

yeah pics never do hills justice, for some reason they always look like no problem until you are actually there. oh and beaver, beaver that yfz pulled on you with ease, the rider just didnt do it more for some reason.

barncat · 01-26-2012, 07:29 AM

The rider is a bit of a "Nancy" is why.

I know that feeling all to well. We were hitting a jump out here off a 25-30ft hill. Pretty consistent hill week in and week out. That is until someone lipped it.

I don't remember much because it happened so fast but a buddy of mine told me that the quad was straight vertical and the back tires landed right on the edge of the hill. I bailed at this time and went tumbling back down the hill. The quad... idled forward a few feet and stalled. Talk about BS luck.

Moral of the story.. always check hills for new stuff

Just because you hit it last week doesn't mean its the same haha!

Not everybody gets to pound out 200' dunes on a weekly basis.

There are plenty of long well traveled hills, these a short technical hills, a few are breakovers at the top, and just as nasty on the back side.

Gremlin, long time no see...

Just bustin' your balls...............of which I probably wouldn't have to go up that hill myself

. I lost mine when I wrecked and ended up having surgery.
But............200' dunes are for sissies.

I used to live in S.D. have family all over that state. My cousin takes his vette-buggy to Glamis on a regular basis.

If I could sell my place here, and do well there, I'd be back in Cali in a flash
