That was Tom. He actually did pretty well for the first time wheeling especially on street tires. I think right after he rode with you is when he took he 80 out for the first time that afternoon. I didnt realize he was out there sunday too. The pic pepsilv posted is me trying to keep Tom off of a tree

It was probably saturday morning, now that I think about it. When I get a weekend off, the days sort of blend together.

I want to hit some harder trails next time. I was kind of dissapointed (<- sp?) at how I "walked" through trail 10 this time. I made it out with minimal damage as anticipated

You will be able to find the right level of challenge at the badlands. While it is an easier park, it has more of everything. I think right now the Cliffs difficulty goes...#1, #3, #4, #10, #44, then about 10-15 trails all getting harder after that.

And this was me on 44 on sunday morning



Badlands is consistently fun.
