yea, suffice to say that trail requires you to be ok with body damage. Or at least ruining your paint. There is a bypass, but whats the fun in that!
Btw that picture doesn't do justice to how steep that is. Birdbrain has a video of me coming down it, and the wall is taller than my roof at its deepest point.

Hehe nice avatar DC. I REALLY didn't think I could make it through that, but much to my suprise I had zero problems.

Skinny pedal usually means anyone can make it through anything. Hell, even Jason could have made it. But his truck would not have been so pretty afterward.
Btw, how was the brewers festival today?

Eh, I ended up not going. $15 for parking, $25 a person to get in, and they were only giving you 6 tokens at entry because they were runing low on beer, plus the rain. No thanks. After buying extra tokens and some beers being 2 tokens each, I would have been into the venture well over $100 for a six pack in the rain. Forget that!

That is the main reason I don't go to SIB anyone either. Some beers there are 4 tokens! And since they only give you 10 to start, it doesn't really leave much. They don't give you full beers either, just a few ounce taste. Weak. Hops and Props is so much better, assuming they don't screw it up!

On a crap load of body damage! LOL
I'm a rookie. What can I say.
I damaged the passenger door, Passenger Wheel well, Stock Antenna, Drivers side rear quarter panel all over the place.

Hey, I drive fire engines and medic units for a living, I would consider myself a pretty good driver. But with the mud and the slick roots, even I couldn't escape a dent on the front drivers fender and one under the fuel door. If it was decently dry, I think I would have escaped scott free though. Bastards!!!

Logans LSD has probably retired. Annnnnnddddd Its gone!
I blame it on the hunger. I spaced out on some of the damage. I was roboting.
Raichelle was like, "you saw cody take damage ahead of you, and you said something about it, but hten you did the SAME exact thing."
I was like, "shhhhhh"
