cliffs 7-8-06 (lots of pics)

Today Todd, me and some younglings hit the cliffs, and in true cliffs form it was tight, off camber, and loaded with body damage.































more to come

Great pics. It was a blast. The Cliffs were perfect. Nice and dry. I couldn't believe we had the place to ourselves all day.

The yotas were amazing. They got through everything.

Caved in the right fender on the pig late in the day, but it just adds character. No breakage. No problems at all. I'm not sure that would have been the case if we would have tried the rock garden.

why I built the exo

Cliffs is full of these ravines that tip you on your side and you are forced to drag the side along the little canyon wall. This is what I really wanted the cage for, but I decided to go the little extra and make it for rolling as well.

durring this...



I was draging the side so hard on the wall that I managed to plow dirt and crap into the cage so hard that it actually put a small dent in the body. But if I didnt have a cage id be buying lots of glass.
